Who doesn't love puppies? You are one busy guy. Full time job, a wife, children, horses, sheep, lots of dogs, and lots of projects. You must be full of energy and yet you seem so relaxed.
Hi I just had to comment on this. I am a retired veterinary nurse and have spent my life trying to help and adopting as many 'street' animals as I could and would also hate to see the working breeds coming in to the vets that were bogged down with behaviour problems and health problems related to going stir crazy at not having an occupation and a true role model. Sounds like I should be saluting rescues and decrying your view. I salute you totally. Proper responsible breeding with a true understanding of a breed character and behaviour for the purpose of a working dog, instead of the insane quest to mishapen dogs endlessly for the sake of vanity should be the true calling of breeders in a perfect world. Animal welfare groups are invaluable at what they do but they do tend to get lost in their own views on who should be allowed to own animals, which doesn't help. Sensible pet ownership like yours is a true model of the perfect balance. Your farm is truly a paradise for the animals lucky enough to be there. It's what I like to envision my personal heaven would be. Your family certainly brings some joy into my sheltered little life and I thank you for it.
Totally agree with you about dogs and knowing their lineage. You get what you put into them. I know some rescues can be excellent but some can turn on their rescuer. The best dog I ever had I got at five weeks (I was a kid) but she had a great bloodline and I trusted her with anything. Saved me twice from venomous snakes, once from a man trespassing in our woods and would curl up and lick a tiny chick like it was her baby!
What is most important when breeding in my opinion is that the dog's go to very good homes where they will well cared for and loved. The whole do not breed stigma comes from the fact that SO many unwanted animals end up in shelters or dumped/ abandoned. You are breeding for purpose and there is a big difference. It's your life and dogs are a big part of it and you are responsible. Not trying to just turn a profit like the shameful puppy mill businesses.
Yes and he cares about their health and genetics, puppy mill dogs have severe health problems and genetic deformities and have not been messed with and will have mental issues for the most part. What is sad is that compared to what life was like years ago where people were able to spend and work with their dogs and was able to give their dogs a job and helped their owners, now alot of people in big cities that have an office job will get a dog like a border collie and they start getting behavior issues because the dog has so much energy and is not being worked and trained and so they end up taking them to the shelter because they can't handle them. I always tell people to please research the type of dog they want and what it's needs are. My uncle bred Labs but I always ended up doing rescue and found some good dogs for what I was wanting that way. I have helped some people what to look for when going to the shelter for a dog, kind of like what JR does with the auctions, there are good dogs there, you just need to be able to pick out the best energy for you, still look at breed types if you can tell, and will still have to have a lot of forgiveness amd patience because it is still a wild card because you don't know their breed 100% or what they have been through
I love puppies & their puppy breath. They are all so adorable & full of energy. Nice pack of dogs you have.... They have a job & place on the farm. Thanks for sharing Emery & JR
Awesome video. My dad had beagals. He would go hunting for Rabbits. He ate them. He cooked them an made gravy . Stuck them in the gravy an cooked them some more. Same with squirrels. You have beautiful dogs. I had Scottish terriors for most of my adult life. The last one l said no more. Couldn't take losing them. My one friend always ask me to babysit her dogs. JR animals seem to know when people are good. Your animals are given the best care. Those puppy's just too cute.
I just love this channel. Talk about feel good! Thank you homestead for the video!! You are so down to earth JR. Love to hear you talk about your farm!
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit with us. It just makes my love increase for y'all. I'll be praying for you and your family all the more --- including every living creature within your borders. Love, prayers, and blessings beyond-beyond ❤️
This was wonderful to see and hear about! I had no idea that you had so many dogs! Some dogs from the pound are pure bred, or close to it, though, and some dogs when rescued have proven themselves to be the most well-behaved, wonderful pets, but I agree that if you have a specific need, going to a reputable breeder is best. It's just the back-yard breeders that need to be put out of business.
But also consider this: Real Breeders will always take back a dog they bred-no matter its age. They will be there to advise and guide you throughout that dog's life, as well. "Purebred" does not necessarily mean "well bred". You would rarely find a Real Breeder's dog in a shelter or rescue. What you find there are the product of the "puppy producers" who only breed for money. They won't take that dog back for any reason. They count on shelters and rescues to clean up their mess. Many people will buy a dog from these producers and get lied to about the breed's temperament, training and upkeep. Pretty soon, you have an adolescent dog that is out of control and matted to the bone. Into the shelter they go and then some kind person goes in there to clean up after a bad breeder and a first owner who got in over their head due to that bad breeder. Then, the cycle continues. You won't find purpose bred, well bred dogs in the shelter. If you get lucky, you can find a good dog there, but you won't know until you already have it home. I have seen shelters and rescues send dogs out with bite histories to families with small children. I have seen them ship dangerous dogs to other areas to adopt out because they do not believe that any dog should be euthanized, even if it has killed a person. No one can guarantee exactly who a puppy will grow up to be. But Real Breeders are the only ones who can even come close.
@@bonnieharris8855I have also seen shelters & rescues doing the same unethical crap💩that you spoke of here! Places that do those things are contributing to the problems with 'BREED-SPECIFIC' BANS, PREJUDICE, HATE, HURT, INJURY, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOGS 'PUT DOWN' EVERY YEAR IN AMERICA ALONE, etc. It just is not right to do the things that unethical 'backyard breeders' are doing due to their own personal GREED! I think THEY are the ones who need to be put down, along with every backyard breeder that can be found & animal abuser! I also agree with your sentiment for the most part about finding a 'good dog' at a reputable shelter or rescue but for the most part they are few & far between. Sadly, nearly every dog who ends up in a shelter or rescue has suffered some form of trauma &/or abuse in the hands of the wrong people, uninformed people, inexperienced people, or people who fell prey to those greedy backyard breeders or unethical staff in some shelters & rescues. No doubt that any person who is kind & generous enough to open their hearts & homes to a shelter or rescue dog is usually in for the long haul. Which can be made infinitely much easier, more productive, beneficially more effective to the entire re-habilitation process for both dogs & people with the utilization of honest, ethical, knowledgeable, experienced trainers & canine behaviorists! AS WELL AS INFINITE PATIENCE & LOVE FOR YOUR CHOSEN CANINE PARTNERS! NEVER GIVE UP ON THEM🐕THEY WOULD NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU!🥰
Our Beagle did an awesome job helping us find our rabbits when someone opened the cages doors and let them out. He found all 50 of them for us and he never hurt even one. He'd chase them right to us.
Would you show us how you train dogs sometime..? Those beagles are darling and have cute personalities. All of you are wonderful and kind. Thank you for sharing.❤pat
There is no such thing as a responsible breeder. Get it straight. Only irresponsible pet owners don't get their pets spayed and neutered! Having your pet spayed or neutered will help decrease the number of animals in need of shelter. There are far too many animals out there without adequate loving homes to go to. Millions of cats and dogs end up in shelters every year. The majority of dogs euthanized every year are of the Pitbull breed. More than 359,000 dogs were euthanized in 2023. Meanwhile, 330,000 cats were also euthanized last year. Spaying your kitten when she is 3 to 6 months old will virtually eliminate the risk that she will develop mammary cancer when she's older. Additionally, spaying your kitten prevents many different infections and cancers that occur in the uterus and ovaries. Neutered dogs also don’t develop testicular cancer, which is common in older dogs who haven't been neutered. They also have a lower risk of pancreatic cancer, and their life expectancy is increased up to 18% longer. Animal Shelter Euthanasia Statistics: In animal shelters, 56% of dogs and 71% of cats admitted are euthanized. Every year, around 920,000 shelter animals get euthanized. Around 2.4 million animals euthanized in shelters were healthy and could’ve been saved and adopted. Out of all the animals that get euthanized in animal shelters every year, around 530,000 of them are cats. Out of all the animals that get euthanized in animal shelters every year, around 390,000 of them are dogs. Only 52% of U.S.A. animal shelters are no-kill shelters, but even no-kill shelters are not entirely no-kill; such shelters can still euthanize 10% of their population. So please stop contributing to the pet overpopulation, people! 😡
Oh me too! So so jealous! But I'm so happy the Rosas have what they have. They truly deserve all of this life and beauty around them, which they mostly created themselves. They are a fantastic family! ❤❤❤
Ohhh those gorgeous beagle pups! Mom must be so proud! Collies are so smart too! Dogs just taught us to wag your tails and be happy! Thanks for showing ua all these wonderful dogs!
Too much cuteness! My grampa hunted beagles back in the forties. Thanks for sharing the pic of your grampa. Love the mask on bear. I could listen to your stories and watch your dogs enjoying the good life all day. Thanks Emory for being part of the stories. Have a great week!
City folks just don't get it!🙄 You all have a PURPOSE for your animals! Including your dogs! How sweet! I'm going thru your older videos😂. I LOVE YOUR LIFE! GOD has really blessed this family because you are FAITHFUL! ❤🙏🏻✌️💪
Love the puppies, who doesn't love puppies!! Jr and Emery thank you for the puppy treat! JR, I am amazed that you can remember all those dogs and their names!! Thanks for the break away from horses to these wonderful doggies! I'm getting a chocolate Labrador puppy in the next few months, can't wait!
I grew up with beagles and when I was a kid we would sit in the yard every night watching and listening to the beagles run rabbits. I just love beagle noises. We have 20 acres on the muskegon river. And the dogs loved it.
I loved this so much. Dogs have always been and always will be my heart. I can’t imagine my life without them. The two I’m blessed with currently are the 2 I have the deepest bond with and know it’s something singularly special. ❤🐾🐾❤️
Oh, wonderful - finally we get a closer look at your dogs. ❤ No problem with breeding, here... and no problem with adoption. I have done both, in my life (edit: adopted and bought from responsible breeders... I just realised it read as if I breed dogs myself. Family of mine does, but I personally never did), and both ways have their pros and cons. If you want or need a dog for a special purpose, a close look at a) the breed and b) the bloodlines is a good way of minimising surprises. Plain and simple.
Absolutely loved this video of yours about your dogs and I totally agree with you about PETA and those who say rescue only. I'm an Australian and have had dogs for over 40 years , German Shepherds , Australian Shepherds and Tenterfield Terriers, similar to your Rocky Mountain Feist dogs. I have bred several litters of Shepherds and do dog sports with them as well as my Aussies. Just love your channel ❤️, your horses, dogs and lovely property. Thanks for sharing .❤
This was one of my most favorite videos. Thank you for educating us on your breeds and their specialties. Very entertaining❣️❣️ JR and Emery you are such a wonderful couple. God Bless you and all of your dear family with abundant graces!
I love border collies. They are so easy to train. Anything you do two days in a row is a habit for them. Don’t have any dogs now. Miss them do much. Thanks for showing me all your dogs.
Puppies! Puppies! Puppies! Great video..thanks Emery! JR is so right, when it comes to pedigrees, you buy & breed for specific traits & if you can track a pedigree back generations (like his Anna) the better chance for talent & stability. Dang, those Beagle pups are too CUTE!
This is such a great video! All the dogs are neat! I read one time if you want a dog that always looks like a puppy, get a beagle. Be sure to feature the dogs ever so often. It's some much fun to watch them!
Yes indeed. Our two little rescue chi mixes (house dogs) have a purpose. Their job is to make us smile 50 times a day. One is 15 and one is 12 years old. We have had them since each one was 10 weeks old. They LOVE us and we LOVE them.
I grew up with a Beagle named Delilah.. My parents got her in December and i was born 2 months later..Delilah was jealous of me for a couple years but we became friends ❤ I also had pet rabbits, one was very sassy (Napoleana) and used to wait for Delilah to come outside and would chase her (yes, the rabbit chased our beagle) so Delilah was definitely not meant for hunting rabbit but rather being hunted by a rabbit😅
Thank you for showing us your dog family and thank you for promoting responsible breeding! Love your channel and I’m always learning something new. God bless ❤❤❤
Responsible breeding is so important. I can't believe you can keep all the names straight and keep track of all the animals you have! Also, you should get a Chihuahua. They are the supreme dogs.
Great video! Love all the dogs & pups! Thanks for talking sense about careful breeding. There are many reasons why a rescue won't work for every situation.
Adorable! I love all the dogs & the puppies. I think Bear has the sweetest face! I adopted cats & love them very much, but I would love a dog too! My cats have a different opinion on that! 😂
A very enjoyable video, made me feel good just watching. I like your analogy of picking a husband. Lol! Keep up your wonderful work and attitude. Thank you!
Loved this! I'm glad you explained why breeding is okay. Everyone thinks my Mini Aussie is a cross because her ears did not drop. They assume she was a rescue. When I say no, she is pure and was a gift from a breeder friend of mine, they look down their noses at me. It's crazy!!! I wanted a specific breed. I know her full bloodline back 7 generations to the standard female on her father's side! She is not perfect and therefore is spayed. She is from a line bred for agility. She doesn't have that drive so she is a pet. (She is still a handful, even at 9 years old!) I've known some wonderful rescue dogs, but I've seen even more that were nightmares. I want to know where my animals come from. Horses, cattle, dogs and to some extent even cats. I only have a cat and dog at the moment. Although my cat was a rescue from off the street - his grandmother, mother, and aunts all lived under our house and the house next door. I trapped his mother and 2 aunts and got them spayed and released. They all had one litter within 2 weeks of each other. I trapped them all, gentled the kittens, spayed/nuetered them and found them good homes.
Love your dogs. Breeding is everything to keep dogs healthy and sound minded. Your sheep dogs would be miserable inside. They are living their best dog life ever. So are all of your animals. I love dogs and horses. Love your videos and can’t wait for the next one.
I am late to this video. I grew up with a boxer, irish setter and miniature schnauzer. All different. All bred for specific purposes. All bought as puppies from responsible breeders. All followed their natural instincts, but were family pets. All had been around farm animals. Great animals. My mother grew up with a border collie. She never had any type of formal training. She was very capable of herding the dairy and beef cows. Very intelligent, but still very much a family dog. Her daughter Teddy had no herding instinct at all. She just became a family dog. To each, their own. Great video.
I love border collies. My horse was at an equine farm owned by a man I went to school with who was very instrumental in my life. He introduced me to my husband. He took him fishing in Canada so my husband bought a boat to fish, the he bought a house on a big lake in Wisconsin. And I keep my horse at his farm. He was a horse vet, so my horse was in good hands. He had a border collie and I fell in love with her I told my friend if she ever had puppies I would like one. I got my first border collie, but I didn’t know anything about them. I don’t think if I knew how active they were I would have got one. Had to learn how to give him something to do. I found out never do any thing two days in a row because then they want to do it every day. We had lots of things we did everyday. I hate to say it,but border collies are the greatest pets there is. You have to do things within them. Give them a lot of work to do even if the work isn’t necessary. I just to have him sort out my husband’s Sox into black and white Sox’s even though I put them all in the same draw. Did a lot of things like that. Really un needed but my dog had to do them every day. It was his work. He would pick up things that were not in the right place and put them in a basket so I could put them away properly. You just have to give them a lot of attention and things to do. I to old to have dogs and horses so your channel gives me a lot of happy times.
You take good care of your animals ❤️ There is one thing I don't like are puppy mills 😢 they should be illegal. I don't see anything wrong going to the dog pound to find a pet.😊
And backyard breeders. They're not AS deeply evil, but it's still very wrong. And it's a huge part of the reason why there are many hundreds of healthy young dogs euthanized everyday in N America.
Love those Rat Terriers they are called feists also. My ratty used to hide behind a bush across the street when he didn’t want to come inside and I could see him peeking through the bush. He though I could not see him right up until I walked around to him.
I LOVED this video! All of your animals are so loved! I will just add for JR and sort of echo Emery on the subject. YES. Some animal Activists go too far on their activism. Some good intentions and some misguided ideas. Responsible owners and breeders for purpose and jobs are completely acceptable! I applaud your purpose and selectiveness as well as thoughtful and intentional placement of your animals of all breeds. THAT is how it should be done. Being an actual 'city slicker' in my geography, I see so many dogs bred, sold, abused and dumped in our country. This is where the activists need to focus mainly. Of course some of the worst puppy mills are back in the rural areas. Love you guys!
I have the same thinking that you are!!! I hate when people mix diffrent type of dogs... Typical then they mix daschhounds and siberian husky like an exampel.... You will NEVER now what kind of dog you will get... Pardon my bad schoolenglish, i'm from Sweden and i'm trying my best.... Thanks for a wonderful YT canel!!!! Love to you all!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Who doesn't love puppies? You are one busy guy. Full time job, a wife, children, horses, sheep, lots of dogs, and lots of projects. You must be full of energy and yet you seem so relaxed.
A busy life is a happy one! But I'm sure that as a grandma you already know that. 😀 😉 ✌🏼
AWWWWWDORABLE!! SIMPLY AWWWWWDORABLE!! Who can resist a bouncy pouncy lil puppy 😂🐶🐕🤞
That's why he's so good at it! He's Heaven-sent!!!

I came here hoping to find this exact comment ! His pups are healthy , working , and happy ! Definitely not a puppy mill breeder .
There is nothing more divine than a litter of healthy squirming puppies.

When that pup realizes you bring her the work she loves , she will do anything for you. 💗I hope she now has someone to work with.
Rabbits schmabbits !!!
I wanna know how loud can they HOWL!
Aaaawwwoooooooooo!
That border collie pup has beautiful markings. I love her face.

I wish I could give you a 💯 🌟's. I foster, and so many people just grab a dog. They don't think about breed stats or even how they fit in their lives.

Oh me too! So so jealous! But I'm so happy the Rosas have what they have. They truly deserve all of this life and beauty around them, which they mostly created themselves. They are a fantastic family! ❤❤❤

Calling, clapping and puppies boiling out of the grass reminds me of how we met out beagle Charlie ❤
It is very apparent that all of your dogs are very happy and loved. Your son’s dog reminds me of my Rat Terriers.

As a dog lover myself, I agree that all your puppies look wonderful and smart !
So happy to see the pups and dogs.

Cannot get enough of that unconditional love 😊
I loved that!!! They're all so adorable!!!! Thanks for sharing your dogs & puppies ❤😂
Cute puppies! They all seem sweet tempered and thrive with attention. 😊💕👍🏼
I love watching all your videos. Had no idea y’all had that many dogs! Love to y’all!
Love the puppies, who doesn't love puppies!! Jr and Emery thank you for the puppy treat! JR, I am amazed that you can remember all those dogs and their names!! Thanks for the break away from horses to these wonderful doggies! I'm getting a chocolate Labrador puppy in the next few months, can't wait!
Get one of Piney’s. Will be ready by Christmas and last time she had several chocolates
I grew up with beagles and when I was a kid we would sit in the yard every night watching and listening to the beagles run rabbits. I just love beagle noises. We have 20 acres on the muskegon river. And the dogs loved it.
I loved this so much. Dogs have always been and always will be my heart. I can’t imagine my life without them. The two I’m blessed with currently are the 2 I have the deepest bond with and know it’s something singularly special. ❤🐾🐾❤️
Adorable puppies 🥰. They all love you! You and your family are so energetic! Great dog story!
Oh, wonderful - finally we get a closer look at your dogs. ❤
No problem with breeding, here... and no problem with adoption. I have done both, in my life (edit: adopted and bought from responsible breeders... I just realised it read as if I breed dogs myself. Family of mine does, but I personally never did), and both ways have their pros and cons.
If you want or need a dog for a special purpose, a close look at a) the breed and b) the bloodlines is a good way of minimising surprises. Plain and simple.
Absolutely loved this video of yours about your dogs and I totally agree with you about PETA and those who say rescue only. I'm an Australian and have had dogs for over 40 years , German Shepherds , Australian Shepherds and Tenterfield Terriers, similar to your Rocky Mountain Feist dogs. I have bred several litters of Shepherds and do dog sports with them as well as my Aussies. Just love your channel ❤️, your horses, dogs and lovely property. Thanks for sharing .❤
I love dogs too, so I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You have some awesome dogs, and my goodness, who could resist a beagle puppy!? They are so cute.
This was one of my most favorite videos. Thank you for educating us on your breeds and their specialties. Very entertaining❣️❣️ JR and Emery you are such a wonderful couple. God Bless you and all of your dear family with abundant graces!
They are all precious. You do such a wonderful job with all your animals.😊
I love border collies. They are so easy to train. Anything you do two days in a row is a habit for them. Don’t have any dogs now. Miss them do much. Thanks for showing me all your dogs.
Loved this video on all the dogs in your lives!!!
What an honest joy-filled life.
God blesses us all with giving us His animals to share and love. Great video!
What a wonderful video! I so enjoyed meeting your dogs. I had no idea you had so many breeds. Good on ya!
Ronald, Donald, Midge, Madge.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Puppies! Puppies! Puppies! Great video..thanks Emery! JR is so right, when it comes to pedigrees, you buy & breed for specific traits & if you can track a pedigree back generations (like his Anna) the better chance for talent & stability. Dang, those Beagle pups are too CUTE!
This is such a great video! All the dogs are neat! I read one time if you want a dog that always looks like a puppy, get a beagle. Be sure to feature the dogs ever so often. It's some much fun to watch them!
I just love your stories…and how you keep up with all their names, dogs/ horses,…….❤wish I would live on your farm,greetings from 🇦🇹
Please pardon my ignorance, but what country is that? Thanks for any reply!

I’m loving the beautiful puppies and you explaining the bloodline.
Cute puppies. The way you introduce them reminds me of the book Where The Red Ferns Grow.
Yes indeed. Our two little rescue chi mixes (house dogs) have a purpose. Their job is to make us smile 50 times a day. One is 15 and one is 12 years old. We have had them since each one was 10 weeks old. They LOVE us and we LOVE them.
Adorable bunch of wiggle worms 🪱
I like hearing the blood line history. Ancestry dot dog!
What a great episode...loved all your dog stories and memories. Dogs are a beautiful gift from God. ❤🐶
I enjoyed seeing your dogs ❣️❣️❣️ in my opinion dogs are better than people !
What a treat it has been to meet your dogs. They all have a wonderful and fulfilling life. It's truely uplifting and relaxing to watch your videos.
We have auzzie, 7 at one time in the family! Auzzie are a great family dog, great protection, herding & search and rescue. Plus funny!
Cute puppies! I enjoyed the video about your dogs and puppies. 🥰
I grew up with a Beagle named Delilah.. My parents got her in December and i was born 2 months later..Delilah was jealous of me for a couple years but we became friends ❤ I also had pet rabbits, one was very sassy (Napoleana) and used to wait for Delilah to come outside and would chase her (yes, the rabbit chased our beagle) so Delilah was definitely not meant for hunting rabbit but rather being hunted by a rabbit😅
Thank you for showing us your dog family and thank you for promoting responsible breeding! Love your channel and I’m always learning something new. God bless ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing, that was so much fun!!! They were so precious!👍👍🌸🌺🌻🌼👍👍
One of your best video’s. We are hound people. ❤❤❤❤
Responsible breeding is so important. I can't believe you can keep all the names straight and keep track of all the animals you have!
Also, you should get a Chihuahua. They are the supreme dogs.
This video was just so much fun! Thank you for the smiles. I needed that.
The dogs are so CUTE❤
Great video! Love all the dogs & pups!
Thanks for talking sense about careful breeding. There are many reasons why a rescue won't work for every situation.
The genealogy is longer than the book of Genesis 😆 I love it!!!
Adorable! I love all the dogs & the puppies. I think Bear has the sweetest face! I adopted cats & love them very much, but I would love a dog too! My cats have a different opinion on that! 😂
They’re all so beautiful!😊
This was such a fun video! Love all the dogs, and puppies, and horses, that you show us. They are all so cute and beautiful and enjoyable to watch. :)
Such nice puppies. Your family is one of the more responsible dog owner/breeders. You do it with forethought and kindness. More power to you. 😊
❤ hello from British Columbia Canada 🐾🐾

The Rockies are west, not east....Love all your animals
A very enjoyable video, made me feel good just watching. I like your analogy of picking a husband. Lol! Keep up your wonderful work and attitude. Thank you!
Thank you for explaining the art of breeding dogs. I am totally with you
About “adopting”!
Thanks for making this video!!!

Yay! Ronnie and Donnie! Lol!
Loved this! I'm glad you explained why breeding is okay. Everyone thinks my Mini Aussie is a cross because her ears did not drop. They assume she was a rescue. When I say no, she is pure and was a gift from a breeder friend of mine, they look down their noses at me. It's crazy!!! I wanted a specific breed. I know her full bloodline back 7 generations to the standard female on her father's side! She is not perfect and therefore is spayed. She is from a line bred for agility. She doesn't have that drive so she is a pet. (She is still a handful, even at 9 years old!) I've known some wonderful rescue dogs, but I've seen even more that were nightmares. I want to know where my animals come from. Horses, cattle, dogs and to some extent even cats. I only have a cat and dog at the moment.
Although my cat was a rescue from off the street - his grandmother, mother, and aunts all lived under our house and the house next door. I trapped his mother and 2 aunts and got them spayed and released. They all had one litter within 2 weeks of each other. I trapped them all, gentled the kittens, spayed/nuetered them and found them good homes.
Get well soon Becca,. Wishing you well, ❤
Love your dogs. Breeding is everything to keep dogs healthy and sound minded. Your sheep dogs would be miserable inside. They are living their best dog life ever. So are all of your animals. I love dogs and horses. Love your videos and can’t wait for the next one.
Thank you for this very interesting video. Your dogs are all so well looked after x
So glad to hear you defend farm dogs. My great Pyrenees is my friend & business partner. She is a great defender of my small flock.
I am late to this video. I grew up with a boxer, irish setter and miniature schnauzer. All different. All bred for specific purposes. All bought as puppies from responsible breeders. All followed their natural instincts, but were family pets. All had been around farm animals. Great animals.
My mother grew up with a border collie. She never had any type of formal training. She was very capable of herding the dairy and beef cows. Very intelligent, but still very much a family dog. Her daughter Teddy had no herding instinct at all. She just became a family dog. To each, their own.
Great video.
I love border collies. My horse was at an equine farm owned by a man I went to school with who was very instrumental in my life. He introduced me to my husband. He took him fishing in Canada so my husband bought a boat to fish, the he bought a house on a big lake in Wisconsin. And I keep my horse at his farm. He was a horse vet, so my horse was in good hands. He had a border collie and I fell in love with her I told my friend if she ever had puppies I would like one. I got my first border collie, but I didn’t know anything about them. I don’t think if I knew how active they were I would have got one. Had to learn how to give him something to do. I found out never do any thing two days in a row because then they want to do it every day. We had lots of things we did everyday. I hate to say it,but border collies are the greatest pets there is. You have to do things within them. Give them a lot of work to do even if the work isn’t necessary. I just to have him sort out my husband’s Sox into black and white Sox’s even though I put them all in the same draw. Did a lot of things like that. Really un needed but my dog had to do them every day. It was his work. He would pick up things that were not in the right place and put them in a basket so I could put them away properly. You just have to give them a lot of attention and things to do. I to old to have dogs and horses so your channel gives me a lot of happy times.
Great dogs. Love them all. Puppies adorable.
You take good care of your animals ❤️ There is one thing I don't like are puppy mills 😢 they should be illegal. I don't see anything wrong going to the dog pound to find a pet.😊
Yes, we agree about puppy mills.
And backyard breeders. They're not AS deeply evil, but it's still very wrong. And it's a huge part of the reason why there are many hundreds of healthy young dogs euthanized everyday in N America.
They are adorable ❤
Really enjoyed meeting all your puppers. Fun!!!
Love those Rat Terriers they are called feists also. My ratty used to hide behind a bush across the street when he didn’t want to come inside and I could see him peeking through the bush. He though I could not see him right up until I walked around to him.
I hope you can bond again. And again. Great video.
I LOVED this video! All of your animals are so loved! I will just add for JR and sort of echo Emery on the subject. YES. Some animal Activists go too far on their activism. Some good intentions and some misguided ideas. Responsible owners and breeders for purpose and jobs are completely acceptable! I applaud your purpose and selectiveness as well as thoughtful and intentional placement of your animals of all breeds. THAT is how it should be done. Being an actual 'city slicker' in my geography, I see so many dogs bred, sold, abused and dumped in our country. This is where the activists need to focus mainly. Of course some of the worst puppy mills are back in the rural areas. Love you guys!
I have the same thinking that you are!!!
I hate when people mix diffrent type of dogs... Typical then they mix daschhounds and siberian husky like an exampel.... You will NEVER now what kind of dog you will get...
Pardon my bad schoolenglish, i'm from Sweden and i'm trying my best....
Thanks for a wonderful YT canel!!!! Love to you all!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome 👍 puppies & dogs😊
