Yes, this is my original work, Veesheeballa is our family/farm/service dog. He is our 2nd talking dog, so Veeshee was trained to speak starting as a puppy. This means any smart dog can be trained to talk. Bomb sniffing dogs could tell you which explosive material the bomb is made of, the search and rescue dog can tell you if he hears or smells the person and whether they are still alive. But they don't; because they aren't trained to. That's why I made this video. Our channel isn't monetized and plan to keep it that way, so I don't benefit in anyway from views. It's just a hobby that fascinates me. You are welcome to share any videos or clips or use them anyway you like to educate people.

I'm glad the video helped you. They can get really sweet when ripe. Ours tend to start ripening in September in case you want to come back to taste them.

I was able to find a local that had pollen for this video. Maybe you can try a Facebook group, or look up local homesteads or nurseries in your area. Some kiwi berries and partially self-fertile.

Thank you. I always worry I'm doing enough to keep him stimulated. He's 4 now, and as he like to say, "He has the energy of five people." Einstein didn't talk until he was 3 years old. I see early language as narrow specialty my (two) kids are really good at, not as some kind of genius kids. They are also both very creative. They will have some unique talents. I hope they use them to make the world a better place, and both grow up to be kind respectful critical thinking adults.

I test him. He's really easy to test. Our testing is pretty informal. One adults takes him outside and the other adults interviews Veeshee when they get back. He tells me where they went, who he saw(which neighbor), what animals he chased. The adult that went with him can confirm translation (the story is true.) On New Year's night, he came back with an injury to his foot. He had the padding on one of his toes torn off. I thought he got cut on glass or barbwire, but his story was, he went in the road and a bad guy shot him with a gun. I didn't believe the story, or thought "gun" might mean "load noise" to him. However, I could see how a gun ricochet on an asphalt road might cause that injury, but my neighbors are really nice except one (and I don't think he owns a gun.) We checked our security camera and he did go in the road that night (not normal, he's not allowed to.) A couple months later our (nice) neighbor had someone in their driveway (they live across the road from our property.) When their daughter approached the car with a flashlight, they started shooting. All the sudden I believed his story. That was the only thing he ever said that was wild. It gets hard to doubt after a while. When someone gives you their address to their house and you drive there, it's hard to later claim the person was never talking and just mumbling, since that would mean you just guessed the address. It only makes sense if they were talking. I have an idea for a video, where you learn how he says different words. I get him to just repeat animal names, then I ask him questions where the animal name is the answer, but the dog gives the answer first (before the question) so the audience can't anticipate the answer, they must use the dog's words to anticipate the question. This way I never translate or interpret for the audience and they will be left wondering, if he didn't talk, how did I know the questions? That's the experience of real language.

Sometimes I put words in his mouth he didn't say. He uses body language to try and correct him. Here's a video where I translate everything wrong. (I anticipate the wrong answer, and ignore him correcting me.) Read the video description before watching and watch it with C.C. off the first time. Then watch it with C.C. on. He would care to correct me if he didn't understand me and was just making random sounds. My bad translation- kzbin.info/www/bejne/maDOm5JmeNWGrdEsi=xaqw0IafuOI7oS9E I really want Joe Scott to come test him for his show. He could identify smells in a bag (animal smells he knows or his human smells.) I wouldn't know the answers. The dog tells me what each bag smells like. It's an easy and fast test. I can't find anyone that tests talking dogs. It sounds like career suicide for a scientist honestly.

I knew you would like him. You understand he's really talking. I'm really not sure how it looks to someone who doesn't already know dogs can talk or if they can understand him. This is my 2nd talking dog. My first one starting talking on his own (like Reese) when he passed away, we got this puppy and started teaching him as a puppy to talk using the mimic exercise and everything we learned. He's not a natural talker, but a trained one. This suggest any smart breed dog can learn to talk. I really like sensory questions; what do you hear/see/smell/feel? His language is fully and easily testable. One of the easiest questions is "who made the food." He can say everyone's name clearly, so it's an easy one to start with. I've been trying to research other talking dogs. I assume I'm not the only one doing it. Reese it the best I found, that speaks in context.

I believe they alerted me to it originally, then moved away and I brought their attention back, but that was so long ago I can't remember the details. When I posted this, it was the only video that showed the real way guineas interact with snakes. They prefer to bluff/scare off a snake, rather than a fight.

They did an amazing job at keeping the ticks away. We lost the last guinea 3 years ago, the the tick count finally started going back to normal last summer. I need to get some more. They also survived in the wild without any care for about 8 years and raised their own babies, until wild pigs came into the area and made ground nesting impossible. We only bought baby guineas once and got 8 years of tick protection.

I think that one eventually died, but not from transplant. We have a nursery and transplant hundreds of pawpaw trees (from nursery bed) into deep tree pots and graft them each year. I don't know why I ever thought this was a challenge. Transplanting from the wild is harder because of the long taproots, so I don't waste time with that anymore. I was such a novice when I made this.

Thank you. It's just a cell phone video. He's the one that makes it amazing.

Yeah, that's normal. The last time I used a spray bottle and mixed male pollen with water and sprayed the flowers that were up high. I later found this is a practice that commercial kiwi growers use to increase fruiting (even though they have males.) My male died, so I'm getting male pollen from another farm.

Thank you. He made his parents look crazy for a while claiming their baby could talk. He's almost 1.5 now and has a wonderful vocabulary. I have so many old videos of him talking, counting, and learning colors. One day I'll make a compilation video. He's just unbelievable.
