Entertaining and fun to hear your many stories on the homestead. Your German Shepard deserves a medal and a huge doggy treat for defending against a cougar/bobcat. Look forward to your next video. Glad your "getting it done" creating such a rural haven.
Love your stories! We pray to God, we love and protect our family, and we own firearms. Also, thank you for your service. My husband is a Vet, my father was a Vet, two uncles, two brothers, brother in law, grandfather, etc. God bless you, your family and all your critters!
You weren't pointing the pistol at the camera, you were pointing it at the coyote. And you were defending yourself and your property. You weren't threatening people, you weren't holding up a store. You stand up for your rights and I respect that. Kudos. Subscribed.
I loved my rottie until i got my Bear. He's a wolf shepherd hybrid. He is honestly the best dog. I love him like a child. Gets lots of hugs and kisses and back and tummy scratches. Spoiled rotten.lol. you are definitely right about gsd's!!!
Reagan Lear do a LOT of research before getting a hybrid and especially don’t have one as your first dog. Ideally have a GSD, dobe, husky, akita, or malamute first...and preferably a working one. Hybrids almost always inherit the wild mindset and it is pretty different than a pet’s. You can’t treat them like they’re a dog, that’s when tragedies happen. They can be amazing partners but you need to be extremely careful
I really hope there's not anyone thinking you could shoot them thru the camera. If so, they need to go back to their safe place. With you 100% on your property, your firearm. Protection for family and Gabby.
I grew up with German Shepherds and you aren't kidding how great they are with protecting their home and family. Mine wouldn't leave my side for nothing and he was not one to let anyone mess with me for even a second. Gabby is beautiful and great at her job! Give her a treat for me and lots of love.
2:55 So creepy to have some stranger prowling around your house! 😱😱 😱 So GLAD you have Gabby standing guard! She reminds me of my brother's GSD. Loyal, protective and worth her weight in gold!
German Shepards are the best. Very loyal too. I had one also many years ago when I had land. Exactly what you said about that breed. Nothing gets past them. Mine knew the perimeter of my land, first thing I did was walk her around it. Her cat, stepped over the invisible line, and she gentally picked him up in her mouth and put him on other side, and nosed him around a bit. He never learned, wandering off, he got into it with a bob cat once or twice, he had received a hairlip and ears and broke tail etc..tough cat and ugly. She was good at holding people hostage that came up, too. I never felt unsafe. She was gental though, and yet loved to help work. She would try to help carry things with me. She'd grab one end, and off we'd go. Good memories. Love watching your channel. Good times you have. Never let the city life catch up with you, and ruin it.
You are so right! If someone is scared they are gonna get shot through the camera, they need to find another channel! lol Love your stories! When you pull your pistol out, people say you have to be ready to use it. This is true, but you have to know how to use it! Nothing wrong with handling it and getting familiar and comfortable with it.
Been binge watching… My great aunt had a female German Shepard and lived in the country. She came up pregnant and had 3 half coyote and half German Shepard pups. We got one of them, named him Jack. He was a great watch dog. He lived for about 14 years. Then we got a German Shepard pup. Her name was Penny. She didn’t belong to us, we belonged to her. She took care of us for 16 years. She was the best! Dad shot a man trying to break in our house. Now, that’s a story!
Yes. Good story. People need to hear them. Especially from someone who is able to maintain self control and be civil yet get results without being a jerk.
Hey Dutch, I love your stories! We have 80 acres in Orlando, OK and we've had problems with guys hunting on our place! We confronted them one day & asked them who gave them permission to hunt here and they gave the previous owner's name. We informed them that we now own it & NO ONE is allowed to trespass! That didn't stop anyone even though we put up no trespassing signs. We caught the same guy with a deer he had killed on our place. It was the buck my husband had been keeping an eye on and was going to harvest it at deer season. We held him at gun point until the Sheriff got there! We had told him not to come back and asked him if he saw the no trespassing signs? He said yes but he just had to have that deer. Well, that deer cost him his license, his gun and several thousands of dollars in fines. He has to pay us restitution for taking our property and trespassing! We put a pipe gate up that locks with a key. Its heavy and we've made it so ppl can't push through with their truck! We arent play'n no more! We've caught several young kids jumping the fence to go fishing at out 2 spring fed ponds. Our house is 1/4 mile from the gate but we have a live feed camera set up so we saw them climb over! We escorted them off the property and told them to pass the word around that our property is OFF LIMITS to everyone except for family! We live in a small community and the word spread fast. The next day the Sheriff came out and asked us about the mayor's son being kicked off our property! I told him that I didn't really care who he was! He didn't belong on our property without permission! We haven't had any more problems since! You should definitely make it a priority to put up a gate! Make sure its heavy duty too! Those cattle gates you buy at the feed store wont keep out a cow much less an intruder! Set up a live feed surveillance camera with a motion detector light on it! Good luck with the gate and your homestead! Great videos. Love your stories!
Thumbs up for more stories Dutch, keep them coming! On their own, you can't always trust a dog, cameras or your pew pew as separate tools. But combined, they make a great multi-layered defense line. Even if one fails, the other two will still be working.
Lol, what I took from this video was the word Respect! I had an issue with an immediate neighbour who continually trespassed, we had words about it a "number" of times and he would agree he had no right to do it and it would not happen again. Final time I seen him, I started marching up to confront him while yelling "get your f**king coat off!" When he asked what was going on I explained to him we were going to have a "conversation" about "respect and being a man of your word". No blows were flung but he finally understood I was very serious and by ignoring my reasonable request "repeatedly" he was disrespecting me big time. We have been neighbours now for many years and have always got along fine from that point on, he helps me, I help him. Gabby is cool, I think she was confused on your brother, lol. I had a large rough collie (Lassie dog) he was a dream, would watch him herd toddlers round and away from the fire pit or anything he perceived as a danger to them, very protective of the family and property and a biter! No screwing around he would go for the arms or leg and have you over if you were lucky and try for the testicles if you weren't. Once put him inside the house when expecting a delivery and he jumped through a closed glass window. If family was around he was a docile baby until a voice was raised to them or a hand lifted at which point he would puff up to twice his size and go full psycho....
After watching a few of your vlogs I have subscribed. You seem so genuine. I understand about trespassers and their stupid stories, trying to make up a reason for being on posted private property. It is even harder when you are a woman, trust me. No respect. The police don't want to help, one police officer actually told me to just make friends with them and let them park on my property!! I called the Sheriff after that encounter. Of course the officer denied she said it, but still. I do know she is no longer a police officer for the county. Anyway, love your dog. I have a small house dog, and he does alert me to noise etc, but I do need a big dog who would be serious protection. I am working on learning guns. Thinking of getting a concealed carry permit too. I lost my beloved husband 4 years ago, and boy are things different. I haven't felt safe in 4 years. Sad, but true. Good luck to you and yours.
Good stories, Dutch. You remind me of my nephew and his stories and how he entertained my dad when my dad was very sick. My dad used to say that he could make a dog laugh.
Dutchman love it just keep doing what u need to do for ur family...I love it when a man is taking care of his/her family...much respect for u n family....
Hey buddy, that was the longest short story I ever heard. But I am one of the people that enjoy these kinds of stories because I can't go 15 feet without seeing a neighbor and hate it. Keep up with the stories and maybe some pics with them. thanks. The one thing about people complaining about pointing the gun at camera is maybe they think you have someone filming for you, if that's not it than they are just dummies.
Grew up in the country and my father and I hunted small game(rabbits, squirrels, doves,quail). My family had farmed this part of the country for sixty years. We knew every farm family in a fifty mile radius and were welcome to hunt everywhere. Why? Because we always informed the families of our intentions before we showed up and after the hunt we would clean the game to share with the owners. Meat for the stew pot was always appreciated. Things have changed since then and I don't think for the better! Be BLESSED
Just love your stories, and I have my own stories about how people think they can go anywhere they want. My land is land locked, makes a person feel like they have no privacy.
So very glad you were able to resolve the problem once and for all. Gabby is such a good girl. I had one when my oldest was a baby, he started crying and his visiting gram reached to get him out of his swing. The next second the pup jumped up and grabbed her arm. Shamus was only 8 months old at the time.
Andrew Galloway the name I used was his registered name. My husbands named some of our dogs after Burt Reynolds movies. One of his pups was names Bandit!
A dog that will grab the arm of a friendly visitor who you let into your house is not a good dog. I would not trust this dog unless you did some serious obedience training. We have a big dog that dies run the perimeter if the farm and will protect us but if we indicate the person us ok, the dig us told it us ok, then no problem, he Kay's down nearby to keep watch. If he still gas suspicions he will p,ace himself between me or the grandkids and the stranger, but would not bite or grab unless there was obvious aggression from the visitor . That us a well trained dog. He is 130 lbs and sensible folks know to ask about the dog before assuming he is friendly. He loves the UPS and Fedex folks. As far as poachers, he does the rounds and discourages them, that and me calling the sheriff.
Farmwife as mentioned he was a puppy. He was severely scolded by my husband and his Mother said, "stop, he has only just met me and I grabbed the baby". Since we lived in a town where children had to be carefully protected, she was happy he would not let a new stranger touch his baby. He never bit again and protected Mark until he died.
W t H why would ppl be saying stuff about you pointing your gun at the camera / anywhere on your home / property. .that's crazy. ..it's your video and your home..it's not like you was trying to harm no one. .ppl will grip and complain pretty much about anything. ...your German Sheppard is oh so beautiful. .in my opinion they are the best dogs ever..I have owned 3 ..and about ready to get another one...
Thank you for your service to this country. I loved your story and definitely love Gabby. I have a one year old GSD name Cody. He scares everyone but like Gabby has never bitten anyone. Loves playing with other dogs and is a real sweetheart. Best breed there is. He is my 5th one so far in my lifetime.
Man that’s frustrating. I can understand them traveling when no one is living on the property but when you’re told THATS IT. Total disrespect can not be tolerated cause if you give an inch, you know the deal. Thanks for sharing. BTW, what a beautiful shepherd you’ve got, had two of them few years ago and not too many breeds can top em in my opinion. Although my Great Pyrenees comes close, 180 pounds of trouble if he doesn’t know you. Keep it up, great content.
The only dog better for protection is a Doberman. They don't warn, they just take off silent after the trespasser. They bite first then bark! Our friend had 2 of them and the city tried to sue him because the meter reader came into his backyard despite the fact that his fence was posted all the way around and one of his dogs bit the dude! Teach that guy to ignore the signs! The suite didn't work, the city lost!!
This is exactly the problem I had when I bought my place in the country. People who lived in the area who had been riding their four-wheelers, hunting, etc. didn’t feel like they should have to stop, like they owned the place because they’d been coming there for so long. Across the creek at the back of my property was a hunting club and you would not believe the number of hunters who would cross the creek onto my land to hunt ON my land. I was constantly having to run people off during deer season. And this one took the cake - I actually had somebody build a deer stand in one of my trees. Needless to say, I tore that b**ch down immediately and took the lumber so they couldn’t rebuild it. Finally to say I had more people coming onto my property, people knocking on my door in my first two years there than I’d had in my entire life, combined.
Last November I lost my Rottweiler x German Shepherd to cancer and he was the best guard dog I've ever had the luck of owning. I adopted him at 18 months old and after only having him for 3 weeks he saved me from being sexually assaulted on one of our nightly walks we took. From then on I knew he was special and not to be messed with. He was total teddy bear around family but an intruder's worst nightmare. I hope to one day own another dog like him but I don't think I'll ever be able to replace him.
I love your trespassing stories! I have trespassers on my property all the time and they try to argue with me and tell me they have the right to be there! I own 62 acres and I have not given anyone permission to be on it except my family! So I got my 22 rifle out of mothballs and got some ammo. I've also got my bow and arrows. A my German Shepherd is a pretty good guard dog as well! Just because I'm a 68 year old woman living out here alone doesn't mean I don't know how to protect what's mine!
Dutch, Are you using those SUPER SEEKING BULLETS that go through camera's ? HA!!!!! Enjoyed listening to your story about your neighbors. We all have that one crazy neighbor.
Sandy i had German shepherd. On my 4th. One but bear use to sneak across the road and steal my neighbors dogs toys. I came home from work one day and a note on my door said your dog is stealing my dogs toys and I work for sheriffs dept,so next day I picked up all the dogs toys even my own cause my dog thinks sticks are better toys. Anyway I put all the toys on her steps and I mean every toy i could find my wife was mad at me ,she spent good money on some. But I thought it was funny. All she had to do was talk to me. But a fucki n note and works for sheriffs office. I had to do it. People are fucke d up. Over a dog you.
Mine has teenagers.. They own a lot of woodland and the kids like to shoot.. They always shoot in a safe direction but never at a target.. What-the-hell.?
i also have a german sheperd, female, she doesn't let anyone or anything in the backyard at all....she gets upset when she sees people across the street walking in the parking lot, she runs off birds or anything that gets in the yard, i wouldn't trade this dog for anything. She also protects our smaller male mix-breed sheperd, spaniel mix. These dogs are awesome for protection dogs! ty for the video!
I am a 60 year old female and though I live on my sister's property (5 acres) we don't hunt or fish. There is a pond behind my mobile home we don't fish. Sometimes family or friends come to fish. I just think you are an interesting person with an interesting life. So I subscribed to your channel and I enjoy watching your videos. Love Gabby!
Best guard dog I ever had was my doberman "Voodoo". She never bit anyone , but she would put the fear of God into someone. I lived in an apartment and knew the maintenance guy was coming that day. So I left a note taped to my door telling them that the dog is loose and I would be home after 3pm. I come home at 3:15 and my front door was open and my dog sleeping at the base of an apple tree about 6ft from my door and the maintenance guy was up the tree. She didn't bite him. She also was not allowing him into the place when I was not home
We had a gsd in high school. My dad had introduced a guy he worked with to him and one day, thinking he had an “in”, the guy comes over to pick up a pontoon boat console without anyone at home. Winston let him in the yard and was fine with him until he tried to leave with that console. He had an “in” but he didn’t have an “out”! Had to wait until dad could be there! They are such good dogs-well heck, all dogs are good if treated right! I have 3 wonderful dogs now and 1 is a gsd!
a good dog is number one;they will stick with you to the end.Women leave trucks and guns break and let you down.A good dog will never be disloyal and lay their life willingly down to protect you.
KID....A good dog is worth their weight in solid gold. At 61, I've had my share. "Man's BEST Friend" is WAY understated. My current service dog is a 90 lb Rott. I feel very fortunate to have her in my life. Her trainers were so picky, she was almost 2 when I met her. When I went to 'interview', SHE decided she was gonna go home with me. I wasn't prepared to meet their price that day, so I had to admit I'd have to 'pass'. When I went to leave, she jumped in the truck. Her owners were astonished. (We settled on payments). She looks for my 'body language' around adults, but she absolutely loves kids. (We've never been kicked off a plane). My Grand Son teethed on her ears without a scratch, but I have no doubt she'd rip a stranger's face off just for scowling at him. She's 8 now and I'm getting ready to 'retire' her in the next year or so. I'd love to be considered for one of Gabby's pups. Sorry for the long comment.
Yeah German shepherds arent exactly small so they would have to not know you have her lol. Our English Rotty scared people too and he was a total sweetheart. He couldnt fight but he would belly flop on things like cats lol. My dad didnt realze why people were so scared of our big teddy bear dog until he locked himself out one day and had to break in lol. Turns out he wasnt as gentle giant as we thought he was ready to get him lol. Also guys with screaming kids he gave the look of death to. He was pretty sexist lol if a woman held a baby and the baby cried he was fine but if the dad held a bby and it cried he would growl and look like he was gonna eat the dad lol. Guard dogs in general get a bad rep. But any dog can guard their family. Ive seen chihuahuas wake big dogs and go after intruders too. Its a pack thing. So to blame Alsatians, rottweilers, dobermans, pitt bulls etc is pretty crappy they are working dogs as much as any farm breed like an anatolian shepherd. They have a job to do.
It will never cease to amaze me how all of these people think they some unwritten rights to other people’s properties just because they haven’t been told outright to stay the hell off of them...!
I had a 21 year old guy ride his dirt bike down my mile long private gravel driveway, then come all way up a high hill to my front door! I came out on porch with my shotgun,asked him could he read...he said "of course"...so I asked "Then, you just decided to ignore all the eight no trespassing, private property signs?" He said I couldnt stop him, that nobody should be allowed to own so much land and it should be a park! Then he did a donut in my front yard and took off....I called sheriff...AFTER I SHOT OFF MY SHOTGUN! Two weeks later, I heard that dirt bike coming down my driveway...I drove my jeep to block him while calling 911. He did a u-turn and took off...I followed and hung back, saw him turn in at a farm 10 MILES FROM MY HOME! PISSED ME OFF! Sooo...I ARRIVED at HIS home, while giving address for deputies to meet me there! He was so scared and shocked when I rolled down my window and asked, "How do YOU like it when a stranger comes to YOUR HOME?!" Turns out he was still living with his parents and they had NO IDEA what he was doing...he was supposed to be working at a relative's farm, but was coming to my place to do day of fun on my land, instead! Got charged with two counts of trespassing,folks took dirt bike and put it up for sale to pay for legal fines. Deputies laughed at me for tracking that punk to his own home! He had no idea I was dogging his trail!
Very glad I happened across your video looking forward to seeing more I've had my fair share similar experiences I guess that's how I can relate to what you're saying best of luck
Dutch, keep doing as you wish on your own property. It isn't anyone's business. I can't believe the nerve of some people. They act like they was never taught anything. Just take what they want it doesn't matter to them that they didn't pay for it. I love the stories. Gabby, is such a good girl!
I may not like the way or things you do I respect your honesty. Your sense of self and your defense of family have my respect. I also have to admit you make me laugh out loud with your story telling.
Be safe with those packs,so your dog doesn't get killed. They attacked my bosses two dogs. Large dogs. Be careful out there. Ignore stupid people. Trying to control everything and everybody. I like this video. First time I have seen it.
What cute German Shepherd. What give the rights to the people to who come on your land and it not thier land they need to stay off of it what good Germany Shepard to chase off that guy.
I can remember when people asked before traipsing across your land, and when permission was revoked they stayed off... of course what better do we expect of people when we have certain assholes in governments thinking our borders are to be ignored, or laws to be ignored... even young people now thinking borders are insignificant (though I bet they think their own "property" oughtn't be trespassed). German Shepherds make great guard dogs!
GREAT STORY. Country ppl love stories so more please. As for dogs, Farm Bureau, my insurance carrierfor home owners and farm liability, said I could not have a German Shepherd, Rotti, Chow, Doberman or Pit Bull. Said I could have one but they would drop my coverage. I really wanted a German Shepherd, but they did not include a Belgian Malinois lol. My Zeus ran off several prowlers and intruders.
Had a chow that wouldn't let anyone come through our door unless we told him it was ok.. He never barked, just nailed them.. We lived in the city with only a backyard.. He would never harm a child, wouldn't even let a parent scold his/her child.. We joked that he would help a gang of 6-year-olds clean us out.. Never had to train him.. He always seemed to know what I wanted when I gave him a command..
I had two chow. It was at different times . The boy was the best graud dog. Mine would bark. That was a warning. If you moved before we, got to the door, that was it. My female was sweet, gentle girl. But she would of attacked, if she had. to.
@@ronniekilgore1450 Wonderful dogs.. That one was black and named Bear.. A little boy about 4-years-old followed us down the street one day, all excited.. He kept calling for his mama to come look at the bear.. I could not convince him that it was a dog..
I wouldnt live in the country without a big dog for protection. Makes me laugh when landlords who rent such places try to say "no pets". You crazy? Think Im living out in the boonies without protection from all the critters & crazies??
That is the best place for a big dog. They need the room to play and help out. I live on the edge of town in the town limits, and the police have seen my dogs and know that they are harmless, unless they do something to me. It has never happened. Fed EX still has the audacity to drive into my driveway. Dogs make their own rules and we just have to figure it out. My pekingese that died years ago was a great guard dog. He did bite a few people that bothered me. None had the nerve to report it. They knew that they deserved what they got.
Damn straight, after my dad's dog, Lady, died the critters thought they could stroll through the yard... Was walking back to my trailer at night and almost walked into a big ass raccoon... Got Sheeva that weekend... Haven't seen that raccoon since lol
I love how Gabby smiles up at him when he calls her over. True love.
Entertaining and fun to hear your many stories on the homestead. Your German Shepard deserves a medal and a huge doggy treat for defending against a cougar/bobcat. Look forward to your next video. Glad your "getting it done" creating such a rural haven.
Love your stories! We pray to God, we love and protect our family, and we own firearms. Also, thank you for your service. My husband is a Vet, my father was a Vet, two uncles, two brothers, brother in law, grandfather, etc. God bless you, your family and all your critters!
Love hearing your stories. Bring on some more. Also love hearing about Gabby. GOD BLESS KEEPING IT DUTCH FAMILY.
German shepherds are the best dogs in the world
Love your story s keep them coming xxa
Spooby, I agree
Some German Shepherds are Kick-Ass some of them are shity as hell but goes for all dogs
I tried an Akita. Nope. Stick with the shepherds!!
Cap
You weren't pointing the pistol at the camera, you were pointing it at the coyote. And you were defending yourself and your property. You weren't threatening people, you weren't holding up a store. You stand up for your rights and I respect that. Kudos. Subscribed.
Awww who's a good dog?
My family has 7 German Shepherds 😍 best doggies ever.
I loved my rottie until i got my Bear. He's a wolf shepherd hybrid. He is honestly the best dog. I love him like a child. Gets lots of hugs and kisses and back and tummy scratches. Spoiled rotten.lol. you are definitely right about gsd's!!!
@@billhunt2605 I'll bet he's beautiful!
Someday I hope to have a wolf hybrid.
Oh my god I'd be in heaven!!
Bet ur home is a shithouse, too
Reagan Lear do a LOT of research before getting a hybrid and especially don’t have one as your first dog. Ideally have a GSD, dobe, husky, akita, or malamute first...and preferably a working one. Hybrids almost always inherit the wild mindset and it is pretty different than a pet’s. You can’t treat them like they’re a dog, that’s when tragedies happen. They can be amazing partners but you need to be extremely careful
Love your stories of truth. Daddy was Army, you are Marine... you know Military never dies so Thank you from this 74 yr old Daddie's girl ...
Thank you Dutch I like the way you handle this situation and thank you for your service to our country. God Bless
nothing says love,devotion and unwavering loyalty like a good GSD,good dog Abby.
I really hope there's not anyone thinking you could shoot them thru the camera. If so, they need to go back to their safe place. With you 100% on your property, your firearm. Protection for family and Gabby.
I grew up with German Shepherds and you aren't kidding how great they are with protecting their home and family. Mine wouldn't leave my side for nothing and he was not one to let anyone mess with me for even a second. Gabby is beautiful and great at her job! Give her a treat for me and lots of love.
LMFAO... If I point my pistol at the camera it won't hurt you.... Love it.
You have every right to defend your property and you camera lol
2:55 So creepy to have some stranger prowling around your house! 😱😱 😱
So GLAD you have Gabby standing guard! She reminds me of my brother's GSD. Loyal, protective and worth her weight in gold!
German Shepards are the best. Very loyal too. I had one also many years ago when I had land. Exactly what you said about that breed. Nothing gets past them. Mine knew the perimeter of my land, first thing I did was walk her around it. Her cat, stepped over the invisible line, and she gentally picked him up in her mouth and put him on other side, and nosed him around a bit.

She was good at holding people hostage that came up, too. I never felt unsafe. She was gental though, and yet loved to help work. She would try to help carry things with me. She'd grab one end, and off we'd go. Good memories. Love watching your channel. Good times you have. Never let the city life catch up with you, and ruin it.
You are so right! If someone is scared they are gonna get shot through the camera, they need to find another channel! lol Love your stories! When you pull your pistol out, people say you have to be ready to use it. This is true, but you have to know how to use it! Nothing wrong with handling it and getting familiar and comfortable with it.
How silly… lol
Been binge watching…
My great aunt had a female German Shepard and lived in the country. She came up pregnant and had 3 half coyote and half German Shepard pups. We got one of them, named him Jack. He was a great watch dog. He lived for about 14 years. Then we got a German Shepard pup. Her name was Penny. She didn’t belong to us, we belonged to her. She took care of us for 16 years. She was the best!
Dad shot a man trying to break in our house. Now, that’s a story!
Best dog I had, before going to school, was a pure black Shepard named Jack
Yes. Good story. People need to hear them. Especially from someone who is able to maintain self control and be civil yet get results without being a jerk.
Hey Dutch, I love your stories! We have 80 acres in Orlando, OK and we've had problems with guys hunting on our place! We confronted them one day & asked them who gave them permission to hunt here and they gave the previous owner's name. We informed them that we now own it & NO ONE is allowed to trespass! That didn't stop anyone even though we put up no trespassing signs. We caught the same guy with a deer he had killed on our place. It was the buck my husband had been keeping an eye on and was going to harvest it at deer season. We held him at gun point until the Sheriff got there! We had told him not to come back and asked him if he saw the no trespassing signs? He said yes but he just had to have that deer. Well, that deer cost him his license, his gun and several thousands of dollars in fines. He has to pay us restitution for taking our property and trespassing! We put a pipe gate up that locks with a key. Its heavy and we've made it so ppl can't push through with their truck! We arent play'n no more! We've caught several young kids jumping the fence to go fishing at out 2 spring fed ponds. Our house is 1/4 mile from the gate but we have a live feed camera set up so we saw them climb over! We escorted them off the property and told them to pass the word around that our property is OFF LIMITS to everyone except for family! We live in a small community and the word spread fast. The next day the Sheriff came out and asked us about the mayor's son being kicked off our property! I told him that I didn't really care who he was! He didn't belong on our property without permission! We haven't had any more problems since! You should definitely make it a priority to put up a gate! Make sure its heavy duty too! Those cattle gates you buy at the feed store wont keep out a cow much less an intruder! Set up a live feed surveillance camera with a motion detector light on it! Good luck with the gate and your homestead! Great videos. Love your stories!
Good gun spill man!!! You are right!!! An a marine, you got all the good showing :) keep protecting the ones you Love....
Great story, I think you handled the nosy trespassing neighbors really well,
Thumbs up for more stories Dutch, keep them coming!
On their own, you can't always trust a dog, cameras or your pew pew as separate tools. But combined, they make a great multi-layered defense line. Even if one fails, the other two will still be working.
I dealt with nearly the same exact scenario in Kentucky. You handled it well.
Lol, what I took from this video was the word Respect! I had an issue with an immediate neighbour who continually trespassed, we had words about it a "number" of times and he would agree he had no right to do it and it would not happen again. Final time I seen him, I started marching up to confront him while yelling "get your f**king coat off!" When he asked what was going on I explained to him we were going to have a "conversation" about "respect and being a man of your word". No blows were flung but he finally understood I was very serious and by ignoring my reasonable request "repeatedly" he was disrespecting me big time. We have been neighbours now for many years and have always got along fine from that point on, he helps me, I help him.
Gabby is cool, I think she was confused on your brother, lol. I had a large rough collie (Lassie dog) he was a dream, would watch him herd toddlers round and away from the fire pit or anything he perceived as a danger to them, very protective of the family and property and a biter! No screwing around he would go for the arms or leg and have you over if you were lucky and try for the testicles if you weren't. Once put him inside the house when expecting a delivery and he jumped through a closed glass window. If family was around he was a docile baby until a voice was raised to them or a hand lifted at which point he would puff up to twice his size and go full psycho....
After watching a few of your vlogs I have subscribed. You seem so genuine. I understand about trespassers and their stupid stories, trying to make up a reason for being on posted private property. It is even harder when you are a woman, trust me. No respect. The police don't want to help, one police officer actually told me to just make friends with them and let them park on my property!! I called the Sheriff after that encounter. Of course the officer denied she said it, but still. I do know she is no longer a police officer for the county. Anyway, love your dog. I have a small house dog, and he does alert me to noise etc, but I do need a big dog who would be serious protection. I am working on learning guns. Thinking of getting a concealed carry permit too. I lost my beloved husband 4 years ago, and boy are things different. I haven't felt safe in 4 years. Sad, but true. Good luck to you and yours.
Hell yea. Pro Gun Here in KENTUCKY. i support ya brother. Wave the Pistol and the American Flag Loud and Proud brother.
Dutch, I could sit and listen to you all day long.....you should do a video with all your stories on. Thank you for sharing with us. Bless you xx
I was a little scared when you pointed your finger pistol at the camera. I flinched. I'm glad you didn't say pow. LOL Great looking dog.
WallysPlace66 hahaha
Keeping It Dutch me too, I mean there was no way for us to know if it was loaded, that’s how accidents happen!
😂
Good stories, Dutch. You remind me of my nephew and his stories and how he entertained my dad when my dad was very sick. My dad used to say that he could make a dog laugh.
My all time trespasser video is of the hunter trespassing and triggers the paint bomb!
Jeff GreenEyesn hahaha yes
Dutchman love it just keep doing what u need to do for ur family...I love it when a man is taking care of his/her family...much respect for u n family....
Hey buddy, that was the longest short story I ever heard. But I am one of the people that enjoy these kinds of stories because I can't go 15 feet without seeing a neighbor and hate it. Keep up with the stories and maybe some pics with them. thanks. The one thing about people complaining about pointing the gun at camera is maybe they think you have someone filming for you, if that's not it than they are just dummies.
Bobby m75 = you crack me up, your a story teller yourself! Go Bobby!
We learn from each other’s experiences and how to deal with them. Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed those stories. Keep um coming ! You are the True Good ole boy !
Grew up in the country and my father and I hunted small game(rabbits, squirrels, doves,quail). My family had farmed this part of the country for sixty years. We knew every farm family in a fifty mile radius and were welcome to hunt everywhere. Why? Because we always informed the families of our intentions before we showed up and after the hunt we would clean the game to share with the owners. Meat for the stew pot was always appreciated. Things have changed since then and I don't think for the better! Be BLESSED
Just love your stories, and I have my own stories about how people think they can go anywhere they want. My land is land locked, makes a person feel like they have no privacy.
I'm so sorry about the loss of the twins.
I hope your new lamb gets stronger and stronger. Have a great day! I love your videos. Elisa
So very glad you were able to resolve the problem once and for all. Gabby is such a good girl. I had one when my oldest was a baby, he started crying and his visiting gram reached to get him out of his swing. The next second the pup jumped up and grabbed her arm. Shamus was only 8 months old at the time.
why not use the proper spelling ..Seamus.
Andrew Galloway the name I used was his registered name. My husbands named some of our dogs after Burt Reynolds movies. One of his pups was names Bandit!
A dog that will grab the arm of a friendly visitor who you let into your house is not a good dog. I would not trust this dog unless you did some serious obedience training. We have a big dog that dies run the perimeter if the farm and will protect us but if we indicate the person us ok, the dig us told it us ok, then no problem, he Kay's down nearby to keep watch. If he still gas suspicions he will p,ace himself between me or the grandkids and the stranger, but would not bite or grab unless there was obvious aggression from the visitor . That us a well trained dog. He is 130 lbs and sensible folks know to ask about the dog before assuming he is friendly. He loves the UPS and Fedex folks. As far as poachers, he does the rounds and discourages them, that and me calling the sheriff.
Virginia Reid I love shepherds I had 4 in my lifetime. Very good for protection, good looking handsome, loyal, loving and gentle.
Farmwife as mentioned he was a puppy. He was severely scolded by my husband and his Mother said, "stop, he has only just met me and I grabbed the baby". Since we lived in a town where children had to be carefully protected, she was happy he would not let a new stranger touch his baby. He never bit again and protected Mark until he died.
Good story :) and a positive happy ending. Everybody understood each other and moved on from it appropriately :)))
W t H why would ppl be saying stuff about you pointing your gun at the camera / anywhere on your home / property. .that's crazy. ..it's your video and your home..it's not like you was trying to harm no one. .ppl will grip and complain pretty much about anything. ...your German Sheppard is oh so beautiful. .in my opinion they are the best dogs ever..I have owned 3 ..and about ready to get another one...
Thank you for your service to this country. I loved your story and definitely love Gabby. I have a one year old GSD name Cody. He scares everyone but like Gabby has never bitten anyone. Loves playing with other dogs and is a real sweetheart. Best breed there is. He is my 5th one so far in my lifetime.
Lory Hendrix thank you
Gabby is such a amazing guard dog.
You have the right to show what you want to and thank you for your service
Great Vid!!! Tell the pup, go easy on the mailman:-)
She's a beautiful dog. She has a lot of responsibility all by herself.
Man that’s frustrating. I can understand them traveling when no one is living on the property but when you’re told THATS IT. Total disrespect can not be tolerated cause if you give an inch, you know the deal. Thanks for sharing. BTW, what a beautiful shepherd you’ve got, had two of them few years ago and not too many breeds can top em in my opinion. Although my Great Pyrenees comes close, 180 pounds of trouble if he doesn’t know you. Keep it up, great content.
Alan Ursino thank you, yes its so annoying having to deal with this stuff, thankful they stay away now. Yes those are great protectors.
The only dog better for protection is a Doberman. They don't warn, they just take off silent after the trespasser. They bite first then bark! Our friend had 2 of them and the city tried to sue him because the meter reader came into his backyard despite the fact that his fence was posted all the way around and one of his dogs bit the dude! Teach that guy to ignore the signs! The suite didn't work, the city lost!!
Lauri Lee Good deal Lauri, the city didn’t deserve to win in the slightest. You’re right, Dobies are silent but deadly.
This is exactly the problem I had when I bought my place in the country. People who lived in the area who had been riding their four-wheelers, hunting, etc. didn’t feel like they should have to stop, like they owned the place because they’d been coming there for so long. Across the creek at the back of my property was a hunting club and you would not believe the number of hunters who would cross the creek onto my land to hunt ON my land. I was constantly having to run people off during deer season. And this one took the cake - I actually had somebody build a deer stand in one of my trees. Needless to say, I tore that b**ch down immediately and took the lumber so they couldn’t rebuild it. Finally to say I had more people coming onto my property, people knocking on my door in my first two years there than I’d had in my entire life, combined.
Damn straight you can point your gun where you want when you are on your property and you are being safe with it.
Right but people are so sensitive these days,like its a camera
Last November I lost my Rottweiler x German Shepherd to cancer and he was the best guard dog I've ever had the luck of owning. I adopted him at 18 months old and after only having him for 3 weeks he saved me from being sexually assaulted on one of our nightly walks we took. From then on I knew he was special and not to be messed with. He was total teddy bear around family but an intruder's worst nightmare. I hope to one day own another dog like him but I don't think I'll ever be able to replace
him.
"They can't shoot you through the camera!"
Clearly some people have been in mummies basement FAR too long! 😁
I love your trespassing stories! I have trespassers on my property all the time and they try to argue with me and tell me they have the right to be there! I own 62 acres and I have not given anyone permission to be on it except my family! So I got my 22 rifle out of mothballs and got some ammo. I've also got my bow and arrows. A my German Shepherd is a pretty good guard dog as well! Just because I'm a 68 year old woman living out here alone doesn't mean I don't know how to protect what's mine!
Dutch, Are you using those SUPER SEEKING BULLETS that go through camera's ?
HA!!!!! Enjoyed listening to your story about your neighbors. We all have that one crazy neighbor.
Sandy Oklahomatransient haha. Super Seeking bullets. I love it!
Sandy i had German shepherd. On my 4th. One but bear use to sneak across the road and steal my neighbors dogs toys. I came home from work one day and a note on my door said your dog is stealing my dogs toys and I work for sheriffs dept,so next day I picked up all the dogs toys even my own cause my dog thinks sticks are better toys. Anyway I put all the toys on her steps and I mean every toy i could find my wife was mad at me ,she spent good money on some. But I thought it was funny. All she had to do was talk to me. But a fucki n note and works for sheriffs office. I had to do it. People are fucke d up. Over a dog you.
Mine has teenagers.. They own a lot of woodland and the kids like to shoot.. They always shoot in a safe direction but never at a target.. What-the-hell.?
Epic! I love how you called out the idiots who actually thought you can shoot them through the camera! What is this country turning into?!
I'm new to your Channel and so far I love your stories keep them coming
Best breed of dogs no doubt. Mine German Shepherd is always in guard. Love it!
I was cleaning my guns and my neighbor called the cops while I was assembling it again LOL
Lucifer Baphomet lol what the heck
Lucifer Baphomet Wow. 😂😂😂
Crazy is as crazy does. Neighbors need education and believe in Constitution
Must've been someone who wants guns to be gone
Your neighbor is a peeping tom.
Love Gabby! I’ve had Shepherds all my life. Truly man’s best friend.
If they don’t want trouble then they need to mind their own business and stay of other people s property.👍
i also have a german sheperd, female, she doesn't let anyone or anything in the backyard at all....she gets upset when she sees people across the street walking in the parking lot, she runs off birds or anything that gets in the yard, i wouldn't trade this dog for anything. She also protects our smaller male mix-breed sheperd, spaniel mix. These dogs are awesome for protection dogs! ty for the video!
Beautiful German Shepherd there is she a rescue
I am a 60 year old female and though I live on my sister's property (5 acres) we don't hunt or fish. There is a pond behind my mobile home we don't fish. Sometimes family or friends come to fish. I just think you are an interesting person with an interesting life. So I subscribed to your channel and I enjoy watching your videos. Love Gabby!
5:15 yes, always keep your booger hook off the bang switch! !!
Best guard dog I ever had was my doberman "Voodoo". She never bit anyone , but she would put the fear of God into someone. I lived in an apartment and knew the maintenance guy was coming that day. So I left a note taped to my door telling them that the dog is loose and I would be home after 3pm. I come home at 3:15 and my front door was open and my dog sleeping at the base of an apple tree about 6ft from my door and the maintenance guy was up the tree. She didn't bite him. She also was not allowing him into the place when I was not home
I wondered why our sheriff was laughing when I called and said you pointed a gun at me....
Bumble Bee Junction I know right lol
Bumble Bee Junction Lol! Lol!
Bumble Bee Junction I subbed to you, make more vids
Bumble Bee Junction 😂
Bwahahahaha!😄
We had a gsd in high school. My dad had introduced a guy he worked with to him and one day, thinking he had an “in”, the guy comes over to pick up a pontoon boat console without anyone at home. Winston let him in the yard and was fine with him until he tried to leave with that console. He had an “in” but he didn’t have an “out”! Had to wait until dad could be there! They are such good dogs-well heck, all dogs are good if treated right! I have 3 wonderful dogs now and 1 is a gsd!
LindaLoo that's awesome
A man needs a good truck, a good woman, a good dog and a good gun to survive any situation....that's about it...SEMPER FI!!
a good dog is number one;they will stick with you to the end.Women leave trucks and guns break and let you down.A good dog will never be disloyal and lay their life willingly down to protect you.
I prefer a "bad" woman.
@@growbydoing7290 unless he was carrying a rifle otherwise sidearm is considered a gun.
Way to go Gabby! Great dog!
I don't have an issue with you telling stories, but OMG....Squirrel!!! And another Squirrel.....And another Squirrel....and another Squirrel......
KID....A good dog is worth their weight in solid gold. At 61, I've had my share. "Man's BEST Friend" is WAY understated. My current service dog is a 90 lb Rott. I feel very fortunate to have her in my life. Her trainers were so picky, she was almost 2 when I met her. When I went to 'interview', SHE decided she was gonna go home with me. I wasn't prepared to meet their price that day, so I had to admit I'd have to 'pass'. When I went to leave, she jumped in the truck. Her owners were astonished. (We settled on payments). She looks for my 'body language' around adults, but she absolutely loves kids. (We've never been kicked off a plane). My Grand Son teethed on her ears without a scratch, but I have no doubt she'd rip a stranger's face off just for scowling at him. She's 8 now and I'm getting ready to 'retire' her in the next year or so. I'd love to be considered for one of Gabby's pups. Sorry for the long comment.
Yeah German shepherds arent exactly small so they would have to not know you have her lol. Our English Rotty scared people too and he was a total sweetheart. He couldnt fight but he would belly flop on things like cats lol.
My dad didnt realze why people were so scared of our big teddy bear dog until he locked himself out one day and had to break in lol. Turns out he wasnt as gentle giant as we thought he was ready to get him lol. Also guys with screaming kids he gave the look of death to. He was pretty sexist lol if a woman held a baby and the baby cried he was fine but if the dad held a bby and it cried he would growl and look like he was gonna eat the dad lol.
Guard dogs in general get a bad rep. But any dog can guard their family. Ive seen chihuahuas wake big dogs and go after intruders too. Its a pack thing. So to blame Alsatians, rottweilers, dobermans, pitt bulls etc is pretty crappy they are working dogs as much as any farm breed like an anatolian shepherd. They have a job to do.
Just found your channel and I LOVE YOUR FAMILY AND FARM!!! Please more stories!!!
It will never cease to amaze me how all of these people think they some unwritten rights to other people’s properties just because they haven’t been told outright to stay the hell off of them...!
Troy Stutsman i know right, its nuts
I had a 21 year old guy ride his dirt bike down my mile long private gravel driveway, then come all way up a high hill to my front door! I came out on porch with my shotgun,asked him could he read...he said "of course"...so I asked "Then, you just decided to ignore all the eight no trespassing, private property signs?" He said I couldnt stop him, that nobody should be allowed to own so much land and it should be a park! Then he did a donut in my front yard and took off....I called sheriff...AFTER I SHOT OFF MY SHOTGUN! Two weeks later, I heard that dirt bike coming down my driveway...I drove my jeep to block him while calling 911. He did a u-turn and took off...I followed and hung back, saw him turn in at a farm 10 MILES FROM MY HOME! PISSED ME OFF! Sooo...I ARRIVED at HIS home, while giving address for deputies to meet me there! He was so scared and shocked when I rolled down my window and asked, "How do YOU like it when a stranger comes to YOUR HOME?!" Turns out he was still living with his parents and they had NO IDEA what he was doing...he was supposed to be working at a relative's farm, but was coming to my place to do day of fun on my land, instead! Got charged with two counts of trespassing,folks took dirt bike and put it up for sale to pay for legal fines. Deputies laughed at me for tracking that punk to his own home! He had no idea I was dogging his trail!
Good girl Gabby ! Nothing better than a well trained dog ! She is beautiful!
id search the area they were looking probley growing pot or moonshine
how do you grow moonshine
0_o. Idk
Weird science
Beautiful dog, i grew up with German Shepherds great gaurd dogs and wonderful with kids.
Dutch it warms my heart knowing you carry a pistol
Rat Finder heck yeah
I would too and get my pitbull
Very glad I happened across your video looking forward to seeing more I've had my fair share similar experiences I guess that's how I can relate to what you're saying best of luck
Dutch, keep doing as you wish on your own property. It isn't anyone's business. I can't believe the nerve of some people. They act like they was never taught anything. Just take what they want it doesn't matter to them that they didn't pay for it. I love the stories. Gabby, is such a good girl!
I may not like the way or things you do I respect your honesty. Your sense of self and your defense of family have my respect. I also have to admit you make me laugh out loud with your story telling.
you mean you muzzled a camera, OMG the pistol around everywhere like you own the property or something🤣😂
Kevin Roberts hahahahha
You are hilarious. I laughed out loud when you EXPLAINED that pointing your gun at the cameras is not going to hurt someone watching the video.
Be safe with those packs,so your dog doesn't get killed. They attacked my bosses two dogs. Large dogs. Be careful out there. Ignore stupid people. Trying to control everything and everybody. I like this video. First time I have seen it.
Adam Jubinville
Very true.
German shepherds are my favorite dogs. Beautiful and great guard dogs.
What cute German Shepherd. What give the rights to the people to who come on your land and it not thier land they need to stay off of it what good Germany Shepard to chase off that guy.
Not all hero's where capes. Gabby is the perfect example.
I can remember when people asked before traipsing across your land, and when permission was revoked they stayed off... of course what better do we expect of people when we have certain assholes in governments thinking our borders are to be ignored, or laws to be ignored... even young people now thinking borders are insignificant (though I bet they think their own "property" oughtn't be trespassed).
German Shepherds make great guard dogs!
ubetchya78
So does my 45. People need to learn respect again!!! Don’t even start me on the government and our borders!!!🤬
Farmwife...
Well said!
Amen...we just had someone dump 1500 tires on our back 40
GREAT STORY. Country ppl love stories so more please. As for dogs, Farm Bureau, my insurance carrierfor home owners and farm liability, said I could not have a German Shepherd, Rotti, Chow, Doberman or Pit Bull. Said I could have one but they would drop my coverage. I really wanted a German Shepherd, but they did not include a Belgian Malinois lol. My Zeus ran off several prowlers and intruders.
That ended really well. Please tell us the rest of the stories... and wave that gun around as much as possible.
5winder lol will do
Had a chow that wouldn't let anyone come through our door unless we told him it was ok.. He never barked, just nailed them.. We lived in the city with only a backyard.. He would never harm a child, wouldn't even let a parent scold his/her child.. We joked that he would help a gang of 6-year-olds clean us out.. Never had to train him.. He always seemed to know what I wanted when I gave him a command..
I had two chow. It was at different times . The boy was the best graud dog. Mine would bark. That was a warning. If you moved before we, got to the door, that was it. My female was sweet, gentle girl. But she would of attacked, if she had. to.
@@ronniekilgore1450 Wonderful dogs.. That one was black and named Bear.. A little boy about 4-years-old followed us down the street one day, all excited.. He kept calling for his mama to come look at the bear.. I could not convince him that it was a dog..
I like the stories
Love your blogs. Makes me feel like part of your family. I can homestead vicariously through you.
Be careful where you point that gun. You could've shot me!
Great stories
I wouldnt live in the country without a big dog for protection. Makes me laugh when landlords who rent such places try to say "no pets". You crazy? Think Im living out in the boonies without protection from all the critters & crazies??
That is the best place for a big dog. They need the room to play and help out. I live on the edge of town in the town limits, and the police have seen my dogs and know that they are harmless, unless they do something to me. It has never happened. Fed EX still has the audacity to drive into my driveway. Dogs make their own rules and we just have to figure it out. My pekingese that died years ago was a great guard dog. He did bite a few people that bothered me. None had the nerve to report it. They knew that they deserved what they got.
Damn straight, after my dad's dog, Lady, died the critters thought they could stroll through the yard... Was walking back to my trailer at night and almost walked into a big ass raccoon... Got Sheeva that weekend... Haven't seen that raccoon since lol
I love your videos and your stories.. Yes, plz do tell us more..Have a blessed day. You have a beautiful family. 💙❤💞💗
Good stuff brother how dare you barrel the camera with repsect oorah from an army vet
I love your stories about your homestead...Keep telling them🙂
Dutch don't point that pistol at the camera i might get shot watching your video while I'm sitting in my house in texas!!! Lol!
yaryar 1 hahaha i know right
If that's the case, hopefully Killary is watching. All the best!
Mike Cox and obama
Yarra 1= don't worry it's only a 9
I'm only kidding,, .22 or .45 no body wants to get shot
