Some of the best laughs I've gotten from the Farm are from watching the mud lovers getting themselves as dirty as possible. Lovely

Dreamworld for dogs. Missed the day care dogs but great to see the stayovers. My furry grandboy got all excited watching the video with me and started barking at me. I think he was telling me that he wants to be at The Farm. Gee! poor boy.... like he doesn't already run around on a 10 acre property with a pool and dams at his grandfather's & furry uncle's place at least 3 times a week.....and I mean for hours , but hey I don't blame him. I want to go to the farm too. 😃😃 I remember my sisters golden retriever Goldie of 15 years, who's passed away since, but she had an amazing life to the end, and she got to go to the beach and park every day. The most lovable and kindest retriever I'd ever known.

Perhaps it might be better if Sam and Luke take over my List!

Thank you for the flashback on two beautiful breeds of dogs. I'm biased but I have to say that there is nothing better than a Golden Retriever!! We lost our beautiful Ruby girl in April after 15 wonderful years with her. They are a truly magnificent breed ❤

[@christinemitchellchris4246]

My grand-dog is a big chocolate lab we love to bits. I recently took half a dozen cupcakes for my granddaughter for her afternoon tea. I placed one on a plate and gave it to her.....turned around and there was nothing there but a paper plate (hadn't moved an inch ! ) Cakes and cupcake papers all disappeared. Grand dog didn't even lick his chops as a give away.

Hi there Chester!!! Love that dog!

[@jenniemorgan1088]

During my life I have had 2 Golden Labradors. Julie who Penny reminds so much of, Julie was mischievous but not very destructive. She was a terrific swimmer, my brother took her to the river with him just before her first birthday. He jumped off the big rock all the kids jumped off, then Julie followed him and landed straight on top of him. Then everyone learnt to jump a little further out because she would jump into the river with anyone. He came home and said to Mum, she swims better than I do. As she got older, she would hear visitors then pick her dinner bowl and plonk at the visitors feet. All the time with this look of “ they are starving me”. Mum would say take that back to the kitchen where it belongs and Julie would just waddle her big Labrador backside out to the back porch and lay down for a sleep but never took her bowl back to where it should be. Now I have my son’s Obi, who has been a character since he came home as a 6 week old puppy. He would go in between my George’s legs to get his head into his food bowl. His other bad habit was he used tear up the large packets of toilet paper. It would be all over the house though never touched the roll that was being used. My son would say to him that he was costing a fortune in toilet paper and he, dad, also had to clean it all up. Both Julie and Obi loved mud puddles, I dread rain as I am never sure when I will be greeted by a Chocolate Labrador instead of my Golden Labrador. Both hated the bath so it was always and still is a battle to get them in the bath. I think both are terrific dogs with fantastic sense of humours and loving temperament, they will make your life happy just by their antics. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have loved 3 Golden Retrievers and miss them terribly. My brother's family have had labs and they are just as amazing. A big difference between the two is the coat maintenance. You need to brush the Golden Retriever's coat at least once a day so it doesn't get knots or tangled fur but it can be a very relaxing and bonding time for you both. 🐾💞🐾💞

@@doglover1128 Oh my goodness, I thought I was the only one who remembered Bowie!! ❤ I was stunned the first time I saw him because he's the spitting image of my boy, Sancho, who I lost 5 years ago.

We've had 2 sets of a Golden and Lab and I can say that the Lab's loved to play ball and retrieve while to Golden's loved to tease the Lab's by steeling their ball. Also, Golden's are very happy just chewing on a stick. Our babies gave us over 20 years of happiness and 1 day of broken hearts, but would be happy to do it all over again, if I could. Great video, thanks for posting.😊

We have 2 black labs - highly trained, master national, duck hunting dogs; and a chocolate lab mix that I rescued off the side of the road. We are in the lower Mississippi Delta which is a big duck hunting area. Everyone I know in our area has a duck hunting lab. All 3 are food motivated😂 and if there is a mud puddle within a mile, they will be in it!! We’ve been married for 45 years and have always had labs because my husband duck hunts, but since watching DDFT, I want a golden retreiver!!!

My brother had a black Labrador named Jade. When she was still a pup, she jumped off a pier while my brother was fishing. She was happily having a swim while my brother was panicking trying to get her out the water. She was a regular Houdini and would escape from the back garden to visit our neighbour's garden. Jades' exploits made great bedtime stories for my niece and nephew.

[@jennifermiller3852]

We’ve had two goldens and two labs. Both our labs (yellow (Bella Luna) & black (Magnolia-Maggie), were from wonderful, loving breeders. The desire to please and to have a “job” was very important to them. Task oriented. Very intense focus. Our blackie came from a breeder for pheasant hunting. The yellow, generic bird hunting. Both were absolutely loving and devoted to us. The goldens were a totally different temperament. Goofy, distracted yet willing to please. Both breeds were challenging health wise. Skin allergies were prominent for the goldens. Labs had longer life spans. Fourteen years respectively for both. Goldens unfortunately for us, one with a heart condition died at four years. The other sadly was hit by a truck. Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience with all these beautiful dogs. BTW…..your videos helped me get through the isolation of Covid shutdown. You will never know just how much. ❤ Take care Evans family.

[@jimwallace3441]

Rule number 1….when your Golden goes to the farm, they should never wear their good clothes. They’re going to play!!!! I hope you show Annabelle at the dog park and then at the farm.

[@judyedwards6902]

Both are fantastic breeds and absolutely the best family members. We’ve had labs or lab mixes for all our married life. We’ve had a golden lab, an almost white lab, a couple chocolate and black lab mixes. We’ve loved them all. We currently have a black lab/border collie and a black spaniel mix. The best dog we had was our Buddy the big black dog. He was perfect, my husband’s ride or die, his best friend and a one in a million dog. - except he couldn’t swim! He was almost 15 when he crossed the Rainbow bridge. Thanks for spotlighting these two special breeds. Another great video - thanks Ben! ♥️🐕‍🦺♥️🐕‍🦺♥️🐕‍🦺♥️

Love these videos when you explain about the breeds. It truly gives people a better understanding and might help them before they chose a dog to adopt. We had Retriever Labrador mixed one time.

[@njsmkmmsthatsit3518]

Never had a golden but have had a few labs. They are the best dog if you have little kids too. Absolutely bomb proof. Our Jet was an amazing big black teddy bear of a lab and so clever. He knew how to use all the door knobs and handles in and outside the house. No one taught him any thing he just learned it, because it was useful to him. He could fling a screen door open(a bit like Bandit flinging the half wine barrel off the lure, ha ha in one swift flick of his wrist) It would be open and he'd be inside checking his bowl before we could even get there to open it ourselves. Only down side their love of food. They always convinced you they were starving hungry. I could never say NO to them, they loved food so much. My husband couldn't say No either. Lucky Labs are not above stealing if you do muster a NO. I lost count of the times bringing arms full of bags of groceries in from the car and Jet would skillfully relieve us off our very burdensome Woolies hot chicken without us even knowing until it was 80% eaten or you got the faint aroma of chicken. ha ha ha

I was raised by a wonderful Golden Retriever named Katie, who taught me my love of dogs. The first dog I got when I was able to own and take care of my own dog was a Lab mix (never knew what with, though we thought it was possible greyhound or some other sort of sight hound courser), and he was my bestest buddy, always by my side. I sympathize with Sam saying she can’t go to the bathroom alone, haha!! He was the bestest boy, would retrieve our newspaper to the delight and joy of all the kids walking to school. He was my hiking buddy, and though he was the friendliest dog around was also quite appropriately protective of me and our children when needed. He wasn’t the best swimmer, but I’ve learned so much watching Luke teach them that I will know better what to do next time. Thanks for this video… Both Goldens and Labs are such wonderful dogs!!
