About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. Our dream is that someday we can transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

[@GCAT01Living]

We've spent centuries and sometimes millennia selectively breeding dogs for the express purpose of what these dogs do. They are bred to have the energy, the mentality, and the physical characteristics to be able to handle this job without all of the extra stuff that a human would need. People don't understand that not every dog breed is meant to just sit in your living room and do nothing.

[@urkiddingme6254]

Tis true. I fostered a Pyrenees pup who much preferred to be outside even when the rest of us were indoors. The weather that makes us worry about the less thickly-furred dogs left outside is the same weather that a Pyrenees finds refreshing! I have a Pyr/Golden mix who just glories in sitting on top of a wood chip pile for hours in a blizzard. My attempts to coax her indoors mostly fail.

[@40Bethy]

Couldn't agree more with this. Dogs were selectively bred to do different jobs, and for this breed, they are meant to be out protecting the farm and whatever livestock are there for them to protect

[@alphanerd7221]

Wolves live outdoors year round in Alaska. It's not like we need to breed dogs to be able to live outside. It's their starting point.

[@pibly7784]

EXACTLY. 👍

[@simplystreeptacular]

There is a very good reason why I plan to adopt a dog breed that was, in fact, specifically bred to sit in my living room and do nothing 😂😂

[@Likeafoxow]

These dogs are the happiest dogs ever. Imagine how exciting their jobs are. Constant stimulation and constant enrichment in their lives. They actually have a full time job! No doubt these dogs feel very fulfilled.

[@marietighe6328]

Absolutely agree. They are living what they are bred for. They are far far happier than some poor little pampered ( in human minds) that are confused, that are barely allowed to be dogs.

[@christamarch947]

Certain dog breeds with heavy coats are not always comfortable inside a heated home (Husky, Malamute, Samoyed, Great Pyrenees, etc.). They are happier outside with adequate shelter to get out of the snow and the wet. Glad u showed ur dogs' routine. They look very happy to me.

[@janadegadoi5460]

I have had collies in the past and they did come into the house but loved being outside herding the neighborhood children and my grandma's cats. They loved being outside more than inside and I let them choose. They know how much comfortable they are than me.

[@cherylhuot4436]

My Dads hunting dogs always lived outside. They had a insulated house and with both dogs in the house it was toasty warm no matter how cold it got. And we lived in Minnesota where it got to -20 F and even as cold as -30. I only remember Dad bringing the dogs in the basement once when it got to -35. The dogs were miserable and wanted out! Our dogs lived long, healthy lives.

[@FaizCaliph]

If only they lived longer 😭

[@deb283028]

Anyone who watches your videos consistently and thoroughly will know that your LGDs thrive and enjoy being outside with their animals. In fact, they prefer it. Even though Abby did well indoors during her injury recovery, she really wanted to be outside with Toby and the flock/herd. Nice, calming video.

[@raquelmota14]

I'm a dog trainer and after all the years of studying and working with clients and his dogs i've come to the conclusion that certain dogs breeds are definetly not pets and i advocate for that everytime i can. People call thenselvs "dog lovers" but dont know anything about dogs and what they really are, and often preach about this and that being "dog abuse" like let then sleep outside or do sports like bike or canicross. So i say to these folks that the real dog abuse for me is keep working breeds like border collies, cattle dogs, LSGD, sheperds, gun dogs and etc in a small apartment or yards, doing nothing of theirs life and going crazy, beeing treated like babies or tedy bears. For me being a "dog lover" is to love the real dog, the ones that live theirs lifes the way they were made to live.

[@philliphall5198]

It’s cruel to take them away from what they deserve and love to do naturally LGD belongs in the pasture with goats sheep and chickens ducks etc I only keep puppies in pen at night so grown dogs can do there job not baby set

[@alis49281]

And bored dogs easily become problem dogs. Don't blame the bored dog for acting like they were bred. It is also good he has two dogs. 1. They work together. 2. When the older dog gets too old, the younger dog will take over and the old one can be relaxed. He should get a third dog in time.

[@KR-ys1io]

feels like i was hit in the head while reading this. I think i know what you mean though

[@cody7889]

Your comment is oblivious to the fact that many of these breeds of dogs would be dead or euthanized without people taking them in and providing them a good home - even if they aren’t herding. I have a Great Pyrenees and a GSD that were both rescued. They are happy, healthy, mentally stimulated, and are not dead. They absolutely love their lives despite the sweeping generalization you felt the need to chime in with. I am not offended by your comment because anyone is a dog trainer these days and also opinions are like assholes, but it truly is disparaging to many true dog lovers who take meticulous care of their dogs even if they happen to be working dogs. I don’t know why “dog trainers” feel the need to be so fucking negative all the time. Maybe you should take a cue from the creatures you supposedly train and learn how to love life and everything around a bit more.

[@flyinfucernauts4607]

The shot of Abby and Toby sleeping in the sun was adorable! Watching dogs sleep is so therapeutic.

Those dogs are likely happier and filled with more purpose than any domesticated dog My golden retriever always brimmed with pride thinking he was securing the perimeter of my gated front lawn

[@IceQueen007]

I'm a "city slicker" and a dog lover, but even I understand that certain dogs are bred for certain purposes and do certain jobs. To me, your dogs are well taken care of. They haven't been left outside chained up with no food, shelter, and no one looking after them. They have 2 shelters, get fed at least twice a day from the looks of it, get love/pet/care from their owner, and can roam over multiple acres of land most of the time, not to mention they get vet care whenever they need it. Any owner in any environment, city or otherwise that abuses or doesn't look after their animals is worse than pond scum and deserves to be in a special circle in hell. But you aren't one of those. Don't let these people get to you Morgan, they're short-sighted and don't understand how well you take care of Abby and Toby.

[@shauxuhrwilsongrim]

And they get grooming from a professional twice a year. These dogs are truly better cared for than many indoor pet dogs.

[@matthewhuszarik4173]

Doesn't mean it is fair to the dogs. Humans have been exploiting animals all throughout history. Humanities cruelty to each other is far exceeded to our cruelty to animals.

[@checkyourbrakes]

​​@@matthewhuszarik4173double coated breeds, to start with, find the temperatures we like in our home very uncomfortable. I tried bringing my LGD inside, from time to time, and she just stood at the door asking to go back out. I can't count the number of horse owners who put their horses in stalls thinking it's "better care" without paying the slightest attention to the animals' reactions. Fifteen years working with horses and I did pay attention. Horses don't care what the weather is, and neither do these breeds - they are uncomfortable inside. Cruelty is being locked in when these 5000+ year old breeds have Never lived inside. Our LGD got fed twice, every day. She had constant, fresh water. She had access to shelter, but preferred to just hang out under our house. She was happiest when it was coldest. LGD Love the outdoors, their family, and the farm animals. At least 96% of their job is peeing - as soon as we had our LGD we stopped seeing new coyote tracks. They can tell by LGD' excrement that they are huge and eat meat. All species have territory in the wild. These are loving, mellow breeds that maintain their ancestors' wild love of the outdoors. LGD are the gentlest method of protecting livestock and even pets, for that matter. My Anatolian also protected my cats and smaller dog. There are a lot of people losing cats and dogs to coyotes

[@mayhemamigos4766]

⁠@@matthewhuszarik4173it is possible for animals and humans to have a symbiotic relationship.

[@mejuliie]

​@@matthewhuszarik4173Stop anthropomorphizing animals. Dogs have lived outside for millennia. They are incredible at adapting to their environment and different breeds will have certain characteristics that allows them to comfortably live in their given environment. Toby and Abby are exceptionally well taken care of. They have beautifully maintained coats which keep them nice and toasty during the winter. Both also have a lovely cabin full of straw to cozy up during extra cold nights. They would also be allowed to come inside, if they really wanted. But they actually *want* to spend their time outside doing their job. If you get a working dog breed they will automatically show the characteristics that made them so suitable for the work in the first place, and will get deeply depressed if not allowed to work or without appropriately adapted activities. A husky will always be very active, and will want to go on very long walks. A collie will automatically look for something to herd and protect. Beagles will love to do scent tracing and will have a very active prey drive. Any type of guardian lifestock breed will automatically be territorial. It's just part of their genetics, and their character will show that. If not allowed to follow those instincts, they can become incredibly destructive in a home and can develop behavioral issues.

[@lauriemartin7358]

Livestock Guardian Dogs really earn their keep. Liked seeing where each group of chickens sleep.

[@ashg2895]

My 1st thought about the chickens roosting on the area where he wants the geese to lay eggs is that if a goose is sitting on a nest, it's going to get sh!t on 😂

[@sqrlbrd]

It's fascinating watching the footage of Toby and Abby on alert and patrolling. It really brings home how integral they are to the farm's ecosystem and how they have a specific role that they love to do. The inter-cuts with the trail cam footage were a great way of tying the two different perspectives together for the audience. Really enjoyed this one!

[@colemine7008]

This was a sweet calming video. I loved this slice of farm life.

[@GoldShawFarm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sowandtare]

I'd say your pups are pretty dang happy.

[@karinastrid1828]

I have the impression that Toby has come to appreciate Abby more since she has been in quarantine

[@pawelmatus]

Grew up in rural Poland, our GS were always outside dogs. Lived to 17 and 18 years. Good job man!!! Your dogs are happy.

[@thesquirrelyprepperlifesty5523]

My husband is really upset about Solomon staying outside. He is an 8 month old Great Pyrenees with adequate shelter and bedding. Loved how they went to the sun spots, really great shot.

[@ChloeMMorgan]

You know you can satisfy your husband and your great pyrenees. Get a dog door designed for your dog. Put in a fenced in backyard and allow your dog the option to come in and out as he pleases. That way your husband will be comforted knowing the dog can come inside and the dog can be outside whenever he wishes to be. I think you'll find in the summer he'll prefer the AC and in the winter he'll prefer being outside

[@thesquirrelyprepperlifesty5523]

Dogs are happiest when they are doing what they are made for. Toby and Abby are more than okay. They are fed, loved, have each other and if they are cold they have a place to go!

Aww, it's so nice to see what Toby and Abby are up to on the farm, I was really hoping they would take advantage of the warmer housing, but it's hard to see what's happening from in there. Love the way everyone gets along in the hoop house, really shows how much they appreciate the space. Thanks for taking us along Morgan, see you soon!

I live in Hawaii and love waking up to your videos. I can't relate to the cold you experience in Vermont. I can't believe the doggies stay outside 24/7. But I can see they love it. It's amazing. Thank you for opening your world to us. It truly is a very different world. 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Aceofspades2006]

I live in Iceland but one of things I love is putting on snow pants and úlpa(puffy jacket?) and just lay in the snow watching the stars. And rn because it’s winter it’s dark almost all day so I watch pretty early. I have done this since I was like 8. My point is if got the right clothes/fur it’s so comfortable.

[@lyrachle]

I once lived with a Kuvasz, very close relatiave of the Mareema, and his greatest joy was going outside in the cold, and snow bathing! (This was half way in latitude between Vermont and HI} I know if we had more land he would have preferred to stay out all the time in the winter...not so in the summer! But the rule is provide your animals when outside with area out of the wind and with plenty of water.

[@gkiferonhs]

Toby is such a great, low-key dog. As long as it belongs on the farm, he pays it no mind.

[@Aeoxmusic]

This man is living in a dream, a complete wonderland of all good and pure

[@TheRumblewagon]

We had two Great Pyrenees dogs that would lie out on a hill in the dead of winter with full blast of the winter wind blowing on them. They were in heaven. We had dog houses for them, but they wanted no part of those shelters. They were too busy in their element: guarding and monitoring the farm.

[@peacenpowder]

Good luck trying to get my friends greenland dogs to sleep in a warm cozy livingroom. Sleeping outside in a freezing norwegian winterstorm is their version of cozy sleeping.

[@lorrainehinchliffe5371]

I wonder if it’s going to be a cold winter? Toby has the heaviest coat I’ve ever seen on him. They both look very happy with their life.

[@defeqel6537]

there seems to be a warm area forming in the arctic, which will likely push the colder air south, so possibly cold winter ahead

[@Xilv7]

You can tell the two dogs think the absolute world of you just based on how they look at you. They are SO loved. Seeing the additional thought and care you put into them, as well, is so awesome. Nice freakin' job, dude. Awesome video.

[@markstott6689]

The farm functions like a single giant organism. It functions well, exactly how it's meant to. Only people who feel the need to project their own ideals onto the world would think otherwise. I think they're not worth being concerned over Morgan. I'm quite sure that if there had been any issues over the last few years, then the vets would have pointed them out, and you would have fixed them long ago. "There's nowt as strange as folk," is the traditional Yorkshire saying. It's as true today as it ever was. 😊😊❤❤❤❤😊😊

[@urkiddingme6254]

Toby-dog seemed to be eating around his egg. "They say" that the white part of the egg -- the albumin -- is twice as digestible if it's cooked. Even for dogs. The American Kennel Club says raw egg white could lead to a biotin deficiency. Cooking kills the enzyme in the egg white that prevents biotin absorption. Thought it was worth mentioning, since you frequently give your dogs eggs -- and you obviously love your dogs, as do we❣

[@FeedMeSalt]

I turned two small rubber tubs into winter cat boxes for our barn cats. Our Shepard husky mix simply doesn't care about shelter 98% of the year. Our chickens only NEED heat for about one week of our winter season unusually. But I provide a low power bulb for extra daytime hours regardless. And my pot belly pigs only NEED heat when they have litters. But again, I provide a lamp because comfort and survival are not the same thing. We have similar weather I find very often. NS Canada

[@bchearne]

I have Pyrenees with my sheep and three others who are mostly pets. The ones who could choose to sleep inside rarely do. Their coats are incredibly warm, and the snow under them doesn’t melt at all when they sleep on it. My oldest comes inside during rain, but she still loves snow and ice

My grandma calls me once a week to remind me to keep my dog inside the house because I live in a mountain region and it gets pretty cold here. My dog is a husky 😂 A lot of people are having this feeling because they are trying to empathize with the dog using their own sensibility as a reference point, which is, actually, insane 😅Arctic and high altitude dogs have special double coats, that completely prevents frost on their hair and provide perfect insulation for temperatures that go up to -50 Celsius. Arctic dogs specifically have even a different shape of mouth, which also prevents any drooling, because drooling causes frost to occur on their lips, which would be detrimental in those temperatures. We should be aware that these are different animals then us. They don't just live in the cold, they were born in it, molded by it 🥶😁

We rescued a Great Pyrenees, also a Livestock Guardian Dog breed, and eventually found him an excellent working home. During the year we had him, he would settle out in the yard overnight and in the morning would have droplets of ice frozen to the tips of his fur. He had his own indoor space, but would choose to sleep in the elements unless it was storming. These are hardy working breeds who have minds of their own.
