Exactly! Neutering himbis great. I was just very upset Bear was being blamed for nearly killing Earl. When it most likely was Bear stepping in that saved Earl. Daniel should have never said that because he knows, and we know, Bear would not deliberately hurt Earl or any other animal that belongs to his (Bear's) family. I'm thrilled he's getting neutered. I just didn't like hearing it was Bear's fault. Bear was the hero in my opinion because he fought off the wild critter.

[@FarmerFpv]

From my experience in coon hunting and what they can do to dogs without a vest on is just like what happened to Earl. You need to Neuter Earl there are already too many breeders in the world with not enough homes for all the puppies. It's not fair to bear. Also, think about, which dog is a constructive member of the family? Bear is as he protects your animals. Earl is just a family pet with no work ethic. Not fair to bear, they should both be neutered. Emotions should never take over logic. What if earl attacked bear? He is a rambunctious dog with animals. Bear was gentle with the wild piglet that got loose from the trap and held it down while Earl was going crazy. I'm on team Bear. My working animals come before any of my other dogs, They're family too.

[@kristasmith-schuster6643]

Also getting one male neutered won’t fix an aggression issue IF they did fight. I don’t believe bear did that for a second although if earl let’s testosterone get the best of him neutering bear won’t stop him from defending himself. If testosterone is the issue it needs handled with BOTH males. I don’t agree with backyard breeders either when million dogs are killed every year in shelters. Bear deserves more trust he most likely stopped the attack.

[@willrollins9021]

I said this yesterday on Facebook and was deleted because it didn't fit the post policy. I am totally team BEAR. Bear is a working dog and Earl a pet. Yes please stop breeding dogs, we have too many dying in pounds just to selfishly breed more dogs.

Having Bear neutered was the kindest thing you could've done for him.

Every man or woman should have a room they can call their own, if anything, just to be creative. Me, I use my huge walking closet.

Daniel, i have so enjoyed watching your channel for years and i use to pray for your safety back in the day when you were a patrolman. I have learned so much about gardening and even raising animals from you. You have such a beautiful family. i will always continue to watch and learn from you. With that said, this is just my opinion and i don't mean any disrespect at all. When you first posted about Earl getting attached and was explaining what YOU thought had happened, for the first time since quitting law enforcement i seen that side of you again. You immediately judged Bear, just like some cops do. You said several times that Bear acted guilty. What i seem was Bear reacting to your tone and he was being very submissive as of way of not making you angry. If Bear and Earl had had issues with each other a few times before it seems maybe you missed you window to have prevented this from happening. However if you had separated Bear and Earl ya'll might have came home and found poor little Earl dead. I have yet to see you own up to your part of Earl getting hurt. I have heard you mention lots of wild animals on your property and we have seen videos of such. Maybe Earl should have been put inside while ya'll were gone for his on safety. Bear, being a GUARD DOG, maybe for him that meant guarding and protecting Earl as well. I am in agreement with others that think it was raccoons that attacked Earl and Bear came running to help. If Bear heard them fighting then naturally his instinct is to protect what's on his property and he got bit in the process. I am in agreement of getting him fixed but maybe just consider my thoughts. Blessing to your and your family and may GOD continue to bless you sir.

Smart people get their pets spayed and neutered. As a vet tech of 15 years, I know that it is best to spay and neuter the large breed dog at around 9-12 months so that they have those hormones coursing through to support bone and joint growth. Otherwise you can do it around 6-8 months on the smaller breeds. Spaying reduces mammary tumours and neutering reduces testicular cancer. Spayed and neutered pets are happier as well. Generally those that don't spay and especially neuter are usually men who seem to connect their testicles with their pets. You made the right decision!

Daniel your action speaks louder then words. You are a good man and God knows that 🙏. Bear is in good hands. Thank God for you and your family. Doing what's right.

[@vgil1278]

You've been playing the best music lately! I never get to hear blues anymore. Thank You!

[@gabelanger]

Glad to hear That Bear is home and minor procedure went well, hopefully the dogs will mend quickly and the family can move on to other business.

[@grannygoes]

Daniel, we need your great playlist to go with the videos!

[@marshadodson9683]

No one was likes click bait...please don't do that Daniel. Hop Bear is doing well as well as Earl.

[@bigmamankc6101]

I agree ‼️ he didn’t need to do it.

[@hiyapal7719]

Actually, people deserved that, for their reactions and attitudes, from his last video.

[@Norunormii]

We’re in the Netherlands and it stays lightnduring the summer still,10. Winter time kinda sucks right now it gets dark around 5.30. But spring is coming!

[@sandymullinix3670]

I am glad you are getting him fixed!! His way he won't wander off!! Plus he's your dog you know what you want to do!!

[@jackiest.lawrence3381]

Hi Daniel…I’m fairly new to your channel and thoroughly enjoy watching! We, my mom (whom I take care of) and I have 2 male cats that are step brothers. One is a one year old fixed Maine Coon and the other is a 14 week old mixed breed currently not neutered. We thought that they would be fine being brothers but the older one attacks…is dominate over the kitten to the point where he lays on him and bites him. We are getting the kitten fixed which unfortunately there is a long waiting list. Fixing your pets is not only a very responsible thing but a private family decision that doesn’t need the approval of any viewers. I believe some other animal…raccoon…attacked Earl (great name) and it’s possible that once Bear started fighting off the raccoon, Earl may have been scratched or minorly bit in the tussle. I believe the major of Earls injuries came from the raccoon. Thank you for sharing your life and family with us. I look forward to catching up on all the videos.

[@galeprivett5180]

Glad you’re getting Bear fixed rather then rehoming him or worse. I hope and pray it all works out.❤️🙏

[@meemahmcdoogle]

The title says Bear has to go (like, get out of here). Then video begins with him digging a hole (like burying him!) 😅

[@deniseallen-blake2557]

You're a good Dad to your kids, 4 legged as well as you're 2 legged. Getting Beat fixed will be beneficial for everybody. Take care and God bless ❣️🙏❣️

[@pawznplay2772]

You did the RIGHT thing for Bear ! There's WAY too many dogs in the rescues and pounds now. Bears gonna be just fine!! ❤️

[@juanitaparks3032]

I think you did the right thing for Bear and everyone else. He is still Bear. Great video. Life is all over sometimes. Just how it is. God bless ya'll!

[@oldchickenlady]

Bella seems like the most loyal, loving dog ever! She seems to just beg for attention and love.

[@TheSadie58]

That's a lab. They are attention hounds for sure Great dogs!

[@paulatwood998]

@@TheSadie58 I agree with you Sarah. Anytime I was out working in the yard my dog wanted to keep me in his sight. If I went to the other side of the yard or around the house, he would get up and go lay down where he could still see me at a distance.

[@turbo1672]

I felt so sorry for Bella when Daniel pushed her away. I even said out loud "Poor Baby".

[@donaldisberner7779]

Dan it so wonderful to see Earl out and about. He has lost that deep shock look from the other day.Glade to see Mr Bear also glade to hear he was at Vet. Getting fixed. Hopefully there will be no hard feelings between those two.As far as heating the shed /workshop you could get a small wood boiler that would hold the heat all day and night on two or three fills. The technology of stoves is fantastic.It’s just food for thought.love your videos as the family grows . When are the bisons going to make a home with the rest of the herd (lol). Keep the great videos coming .Thanks and take care Don

[@margadanks4528]

Daniel getting bear fixed is the best thing for him!

[@zemadeiran]

And yet another pro castration comment from a woman...

[@anniejones5806]

I guess you learned don't put all your business on KZbin. Your dog do what you want to..

[@margadanks4528]

Well Daniel, they prolly haven’t dealt with a pet or farm dog that there testosterone has been going wild, and most vets will always tell u that spaying or neuter them will calm them down again, and will also prevent health issues later on too, but I guess if ur gonna raise ur pets to have puppies or such, but my pet, had 12 puppies in both of her liters, n the vet told me having that many pups, is not good for her. It takes its toll on any animal. But to each there own opinion,

[@ruthkirch9343]

Glad earl ok and thx 4 doing the right thing and getting bear fixed!

[@donnanoble]

Oh Daniel you definatley tricked me 🤣🤣. I was actually churning up some anger vibes thinking you put Bear down. I should have known. ❤ Thank you for being the man that you are the world needs a whole lot more like you. Love you guys!

[@marvinbryant2151]

Great video Daniel. You know it's impossible to make everyone happy when you have over 600,000 followers! Getting Bear fixed was a good idea. I had an intact dog that had some horrible issues in his rear end that my vet said could have been prevented had he been neutered. Since then my other male dogs have been fixed. I wish you'd have gotten that tractor a few months sooner! I really like it, but I already bought one. I really like it, but yours seems to be getting the job done, and may have been much better priced. I'm going to have to check it out. I'm in agreement with you too on hanging the horns in your building. Being young as you are and the hunters in your family, you're going to fill it up too. Later on you might want to learn how to make a chandelier out of them.

[@sandracorless6186]

Hey Daniel nice a little of this and that video thats what keeps it fresh. We always had our dogs spayed and neutered as well as our cats its for the best. I'm glad to see Earl is doing better the more he tries to walk on that leg the better he will be he has to build up his strength. So what's next for AFH keep up the good work and see you in the next video💞🐕😉

[@aaronbaum2542]

Great video Dan!! 😊. Bear looked sad but I'm sure he is back to his ol' self again ❤️. Your homestead is beautiful and I love to see the love and hard work you and your family put into it!! God Bless You!!

[@pattyoconnell1950s]

When I lived in Irasburg Vt. our dog ran into a porcupine. Our neighbor pulled out the quills. It was terrible. We were originally from Deal, NJ and never saw a porcupine before. My father put the porcupine to rest.

[@dougdinsmore9751]

Daniel, how I haul my bigger saws on the tractor is I close the grapple and slip the saw bar down between the clamp and frame of the grapple. The saw sits in a pretty much vertical position and stays put just fine. Ultimately though, a saw holster is the way to go.

[@lindahipp8329]

I remember when Bear went visiting. He's your dog and that decision is your business and not all those Naysayers. Prayers for Bear and Earl. You'll enjoy having central heating and cooling in your shop. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

[@vgil1278]

Linda Hipp - It's kind of hard when you see all the lovely kittens and puppies that need a home and never get one, to keep your mouth shut.

[@maryslaughter79]

I'm so glad you guys decided to have him fixed. It really was in his best interest. I have all of my dogs fixed.

[@anitak_ilovepink]

Daniel don't let people get you down. You must make decisions that work for your family.

[@patsabol8699]

Glad Bear and Earl are doing well and that the kids got a nap. Enjoyed the vid.

[@domenicozagari2443]

To grow more grass you need to pump more water in the paddocks. You can use solar pumps, free electricity. All those leafs make good compost to sale.

[@elsammaguru]

Team Bear !! Get Earl neutered too ,, I was bit upset that how quickly you blamed Bear 😥

[@donnanoble]

Me too, he kind of annoys me. Always getting into something.

[@heavensscent1521]

Well when I read the title, "Bear Had to Go" I got mad right away, but finding out he just went to get neutered, I felt better. Hopefully it does help his aggression and you don't have to send him away. He is such a beauty!!!

[@nellmarie98]

What aggression? Other than keeping the coyotes away, he hasn't shown any aggression that has been proven. The bite marks on Earl were made by a coon, based on the bites marks themselves.

[@terridinneen8870]

@@nellmarie98 AGREE!!!

[@romeliaanddixie]

Neutering actually increases aggression because of the unbalanced hormones, both of our fixed dogs are very aggressive with other animals and certain dogs. They were socialized correctly very young but with the in balance of the hormones they cannot regulate their behavior well

[@Gloria-ro4vn]

I don't think Bear attacked Earl, it looked like Earl tangled with a Raccoon, they are mean and VICIOUS not the cute cuddly animals they appear to be. Probably was after the dog food. Raccoons killed countless barn cats on my grandma's farm over the years. Even the Vet said the bites looked like Raccoon bites. Glad they got Bear nurtured, should have done it sooner, it won't affect his guard dog training at all.

[@hiyapal7719]

Even if he had to get rid of *"his"* dog, theres no call for anger. If anything, we should feel sympathy for him, if he had to give Bear away, because he's really attached to Bear.

[@lawrencea1989]

Getting BOTH males fixed is best. Don't breed earl just to breed him. So many dogs with no homes it's reckless just to breed to breed.

[@leenagard2788]

Yes! Especially doodles 😂

[@DarrensTruckzs]

Agreed

[@user-tw8ov]

Shut up

[@milomurphy9178]

There are enough animals available in shelters. Be responsible and get your dogs and cats spayed or neutered.

[@nellmarie98]

Exactly, Earl is a mixed breed that they spent $$. Earl is another one of the side hustle money making things Daniel has talked about.

[@twocooneys]

Enjoyed today's vlog. Nice to see the trails and glad you will have heat in the shop. Glad Bear is recovering and Earl too.

[@BarbBitter]

I didn’t realize he was mixed with Antolpion shepherd. I knew he was mixed with different breed’s I love Bear and with his mixed breed he could of really to poor Jemma up he (bear) could thought Jemma was going to hurt one of the little babies around which Jemma wasn’t hurting a little one just playing with it and Bear instincts kicked in to protect the baby or could of gotten in the middle of a fight of a intruder that came on your property an Jemma & Bear we’re just trying to protect the property and the dust was all around that Jemma was in the wrong place at that time instead of him (Jemma) staying on the side lines and encouraging Bear Jemma decided he was a big dog and could of thought he was helping Bear out!!!!! For getting him fix was the right thing to do !!!!!! Love ❤️ you All Arms Family Homestead!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤keep up the Amazing Awesome Work you are doing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
