The Reason I Chose To Keep This GUARD DOG PUPPY

[@clarissecoopersmith8193]

I love the heart on Russell's tail

[@helenbonanno4804]

Whoa baby, look at the size of Russell’s paws!!!!!!

[@DebbieVerrett-wb8nt]

His heart on his tail means full of love and loyality♥️🤗♥️

[@kimholland3361]

They are showing their emotions

[@Ciciye12]

I remember Daisy, I loved her as well. You could tell she was very loyal to all! It was sad. I can understand.

[@marinemom5630]

I knew it. He's the one I picked, if I was getting one of the pups. He is so handsome. I believe he's gonna be a great guardian dog.

[@priscillabuckland6097]

I knew it! Russell is so cute as they all were. 😍

[@janellreno7480]

I guessed right,you can tell difference when the 3 dogs get together.🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@brigidconroy2111]

Oh Mojo and him are gonna be a great pair

[@DeniseHoltz]

Rachel, We really admire your genuineness at the Expo. It made me feel so special that you recognized May and I each time we saw you! We had such a great time meeting some of our You Tubers. We would love to help out in some way next year. What a wonderful event you guys put on! We are already planning our vacation around your event each year!

[@TessBoze]

That rain is deafening. Wow!

[@fifi2154]

Congratulations Russell welcome to the farm! Looking forward to watching you grow & train. 😘😘😘

[@dormiacrouch1905]

He is a very handsome little fella 🥰👍

[@marionscott3248]

I am so happy. He picked you as well. 👍💓

[@cindyvaca7620]

I guessed right! Russell is a cutie! It will be fun to watch him learn and grow. 😄

[@MuttieRo]

Mojo will be a wonderful teacher to Russell....

[@mariposa5900]

I knew, dead give away !!!! You spent a lot of time with him, calling his name !!! He's so cute !!!! It's going to be hard with out the others around!!!; he'll be all right !!!! Thank you for sharing !!! Teresa California

[@kympeplau1635]

I knew Russell was special the minute I saw him and you would pick him. Russell has beautiful coloring! Congrats again on those wonderful pups!

[@teresaatwater672]

Daisy was a super dog. Glad you kept Russell!

[@jenifermorrell1918]

What an amazing mom Cora is!!!

[@bevosp1254]

Russell was a great choice. You are his best buddy. Daisy was so pretty and smart.

[@LorinDeCamp]

So happy you kept Russell. 🎉❤

[@klcpca]

We called it!!!!! There is just something "special" between you and Russell..... can't wait to watch him grow and become a great LGD!!!! Mr. Mojo will be a great teacher! Happy Birthday Skeeter!!! ❤❤❤

[@beckymowery5532]

Happy Birthday Skeeter! Such a cute little dog. Kevin, just love your videos! Glad you are keeping Russell. He's a good boy!

[@sandraayotte1431]

I had no idea which one was the one you were keeping but I was hoping that it was one of the blonde one and I knew that Mojo would be training it, I was hoping you would pick a cuter name but I can understand the name reason but since I am a great grandma and don’t keep up with Disney movies anymore and didn’t know there was a Disney character by the name of Russel now I know and can understand Thanks for letting us that didn’t know about this naming thing.

[@vicwei4302]

❤

[@marylouise890]

❤

[@kathleenredick275]

I've thought it would be Russel because you talked to him by name so often. ❤ I'm glad. I'm sure Mojo will be a great teacher. The weather has been weird here in AZ, too. Everything from almost 80 to hail and thunderstorms to frozen car windows several mornings (and there's no pattern to what we're going to get).

[@bluestartears6405]

I knew it was Russell. He's such a cute little guy. Happy birthday puppy Skeeter 🦴🦴

[@joanivanhorn9639]

I KNEW IT WAS RUSSELL !!! He's a good choice.

[@Lwah0812]

Happy birthday Skeeter! 🎉 I figured it would be one of the light colored ones because the others were like Leeski and Kora and the light ones made me think of Daisy. It was quite some time before I zeroed in on Russell, others figured it out long before I did. Russell was telling daddy Leeski “The big two legged weird animal took me out into the great big beyond and just put me down and it was scary.”

[@lindanelson3568]

I knew it was Russel.😊 he is going to be special can't wait to see him grow. I've raised and showed dogs many years ago and I think you're family and Cora and Lesky did a great job for your first time with puppies.

[@carmelrose6327]

Daisy was so beautiful 😍🥰😍🥰😍

[@dianedunkes2281]

I was praying it was Russell. The special way Rachel said his name and spoke to him, just assured me that he was the one. Kevin, you also mentioned he would someday be replacing Mojo so I thought your pick would be a male. Love your u-tube. Kevin, you and Rachel take such good care of and love your animals so much.

[@dorothyvarga6251]

I just knew you were going to keep him, there was just something between you with him from the very beginning. I can see your happiness in your face, and he will be a great addition to the family!

[@jennymartindale6786]

Kora keeps rolling on her back because she's wanting that belly scratched! She's so pretty!!❤❤❤

[@tammyhenry2073]

So happy that it was Russell good choice happy birthday Skeeter

[@Linnie-mm3gt]

You got My Heart, When you Start talking About "Your Baby Girl, "MS. DAISY", You Lost"...😢... It brought me to tears, "Again"... I'll Tell You What, "Ms. Cora", Is One "Beautiful Smart Momma Girl"... I Love Her So Much, Also... I figured It Was Pup Russell, because of his Color... I Thought That, "The Night He Was Born"... "I Felt That Night", Yaw'll Was Keeping Him... The Heart on His Tail is Love/Sign, From MS. DAISY, & "GOD"... "I Feel"... ❤❤❤... "He Is A Sweet BabyBoy"...

[@Linnie-mm3gt]

🎉🎉🎉... "Happy Birthday" Skeeter... 🥳🥳🥳... We Love You... 💙🙏💙...

[@JbirdL2233]

Yes, I remember Daisy. That was such a weird, sad time. I cried with you all during your loss. Russell is precious and so handsome. ❤😊

[@jude6516]

I knew it!! Russel is the perfect choice. He's a male like, Mojo, he's light color like Mojo, and he has the genes of Leeske and Cora! He's going to be a great asset to your farm. Looking forward to his training as the "rookie" guard dog!

[@jennifersites6202]

Happy birthday Skeeter 🎂

[@konetashelton4130]

❤ Smiling. So glad Russell was your choice. The "heart" on Russell's tail....might be in remembrance of Daisy.

[@easternwashingtonresident3814]

I am so happy that you are keeping Russell and we can watch him grow up. He is such a handsome boy! I'm also excited because I said Russell from day 1. Now...back to the video! Happy 6th Birthday Skeeter!

[@shargomol3572]

yup, I knew it. Russell was the first pup you called by name.Nice pick Kevin. I think the heart on his tail is from Daisy saying she approves. Miss Daisy was such a beautiful girl, she is missed. Russell will be a big boy❤❤❤

[@lindsaymccartney2480]

Im so happy you kept russel hes absolutely gorgeous love his light colour and his dark face , and a big happy to skeeter 🎂 ♥️♥️

[@susanpaul2495]

So happy for you all…you have Russell…he is so adorable. Love the relationship Mum & Dad have with him. 🫶🫶💕

[@sheila1811]

Yes, I guessed! ❤❤❤. He was named early and you didn’t forget his name, he didn’t have his collar a lot. He was my favorite also. You guys have a great set of dogs now. Can’t wait to watch him grow up. Your family is awesome. God Bless you all!!!

[@judymac3588]

Daisy lives on in our hearts and memories. Welcome Russell to the farm. God bless you all 💕

[@peggybryant4699]

I knew Russel bc Kevin you always gravitated to him and I was hoping you kept one of the beige puppy’s.plus he never had a color after a short time .The main give away was you Kevin especially when they were very little you always went to him…..congratulations for all the puppy’s getting new forever homes .I enjoyed the whole process of the puppy’s.Peggy from Tennessee ❤️

[@margaretgarls153]

Russell is so lucky to have his parents. You and Rachel are such good pet parents.

[@PrayingMama07]

Aww so fun!!!Im glad Kora gets to keep her boy!

[@caroleshaffer2243]

Awe,so glad you kept Russell,he is such a good boy. He will do an amazing job. Happy Birthday Skeeter.

[@LeighSGetchellGatto]

I know Kevin and I know it’s very special for you guys to have a grand pup and I know you lost a favorite pup and you always loved having tan colored pups

[@Godlover614]

The heart on his tail says he was conceived in love 😄! Either that, or that he's full of love 🥰.

[@deborahbranum8085]

I said Red at first but at least I had the color of the puppy right. Russell is a sweet boy and he will make you a good watch dog ❤

[@marcamp5450]

Russell’s feet are huge. Wait till he grows into them. He’s adorable. Glad u kept him. ❤

[@mce6328]

i knew it was russell cuz u kept saying his name n u would just light up every time he’s a beautiful pup!!! Happy Birthday Skeeter

[@margesteinmetz863]

Cora has a limp in the front quarter. A lot of guessed that right. Welcome Russell 🫶 He loved the egg. Blessings to HHF 🫶🙏🫶🙏🥰

[@jangrahame4891]

Daisy was a one of a kind special working dog and loyal family protector. If she had had a puppy, I am sure it would have looked a lot like Russell. I am so glad you chose him! I look forward to watching him grow and learn the ropes of guardianship.

[@patriciawilburn5431]

Oh I almost started crying when you mentioned Daisy. Russell does look a lot like her. I'm sure he'll be great 👍

[@jackiearmstrong8960]

Happy birthday Skeeter

[@KrazeeFoxx735]

Baby Mojo's apprentice!!! He has big shoes to fill when Mojo retires.

[@glesnietutty8444]

I knew it I could see that bond building and I really could see how much he looked like Daisy great choice Kevin

[@jerriewyatt905]

Happy birthday Skeeter!❤🎉I really love Smeegle , he’s such a character.. I’m a cat person anyway.. Hopefully when Mojo is ready to retire Russell will be well trained.. especially if he’s as quick to learn as Mama and Papa..I was hoping you’d keep one of the buff colored puppies..

[@maryluxa4408]

Happy Birthday to Skeeter! He’s such a cutie. 🎉🎉🎉 I was sure you would pick Russell. Hope he listens to Mojo and learns to take good care of his charges! Love Mr Smeagle too!

[@marciemiller6250]

I’ve actually heard of the disease that brought about the loss of Daisy but I’ve never heard of it occurring in a dog. The next couple of weeks of Russell spending time with his parents but especially with Cora she will teach him so much. Not just about being an LGD but she will teach him a lot about being a good dog. Congrats on your growing LGD, I can’t wait to watch him as he learns and grows.

[@lisakaufman7366]

I've had 8 dogs so far that I loved with all my heart but one of them is my favorite. We just had a bond that went beyond love. He was a very special dog. Cora is being goofy.

[@terrimills8609]

I don’t remember how I found y’all, but I started watching your channel the day you took Daisy to the vet for surgery…..I cried when you lost her because of the pain I knew your family was going through. So very sorry for your loss. Russell will be a great family member and learn his place well. Congratulations! ❤❤❤

[@kimvaverek]

Same

[@kajohnson2469]

Me as well, and haven't missed a single video since!

[@carmelrose6327]

Yes I remember too..... I cried also. I felt their lost. ❤❤❤

[@janetmcdonald9340]

Same!

[@deannaray4837]

😊​@@kimvaverek

[@lindaspringer8864]

Russell was my favorite from early on, so glad you kept him. Kora is the bestest mom ever, so sweet and gentle. Happy birthday Mr Skeeter!! Love your videos and your family.

[@rebeccashaffer5710]

I knew it was Russell! You always talked to him! 💙

[@beverlymarlowe5333]

I lost a golden retriever to same issue as Daisy. Lady was amazing. We also tried to save her. I remember your videos for years.

[@Queenbee-pm3nz]

YAY puppy russell we called it. Thank you all who got the puppies for not sharing. Well happy Mr. Mojo is better and he will be happy with helping Russell ❤❤. Sending love to all the family and to the new member as well ❤❤

[@missynewton8120]

I remember and loved Miss Daisy!! That was such a shock when all that happened I felt so badly for y’all. My heart hurt so badly for y’all! She was such a great family member i cry thinking about her! She loved her family both human and 4 legged! She was the BEST! I’m so glad y’all keep Russell he was the one I thought at first then went with the girl dog! All of your animals are so blessed and so are we to have them in our lives! All of your animals are so sweet and such good protectors and loyal. I Love watching you Kevin and your beautiful family! The kids are growing so fast!! Glad the okie homestead was a great turn out! Have a great week❤️

[@carolinechew2432]

I’ve never seen Cora PLAY before!!! Was Lovely!!! She’s always so serious,-- and a little moody. Great Mom 😊❤😊❤😊

[@hillhouseonthehill5469]

I can’t help but cry remembering Daisy. When I saw Russell’s color, I knew why!

[@joycechivis6317]

I remember Daisy. She was such a good girl.

[@cherylphillips9107]

I could see the connection you had with him. He looks at you with such adoration.

[@joannemckinley2487]

I totally guess wrong, but I am so glad that you kept Russell. I hadn't thought about him looking like Daisy, but I saw it once you said it. Russell will make a great addition to Hidden Heights Farm.

[@jameslemon51]

Big hugs to pet lovers.

[@janicefreedman8173]

Hi Kevin and Rachel, I knew you were going to keep Russell. He just seemed to be a special little puppy. I cried when you talked about Daisy. I absolutely adored her, and was devastated when she got sick. You were so good to Daisy, doing everything you could to make her better. I am glad you had a great time at your conference, wow, three years of doing it now. My favorite animal next to Daisy is Deputy Sheriff Smeagle. He is the smartest, sweetest cat. I hope you realize how special Smeagle is. All of your animals are special, Mojo is such a joy of a dog. Not a fan of the weird Emu though. I prefer your ducks and pretty geese. Life with only one puppy, enjoy Russell. 😊

[@sandyg3639]

I had a feeling that Russell was not leaving and that he would be a great LGD. Kora, Leesky and Mojo will be great at training Russell. I hope that you all stay safe with these rain storms. ❤

[@maryrussell979]

So happy it was Russell he has a great personality. Happy birthday Skeeter! I wanted to be at the expo, but I’m not able to go. Would have loved to meet you all. I live my life through you guys. Love you all. Take care and stay strong. God bless

[@QuinSteph]

They didn't know his personality when they chose him.

[@Benice22]

I'm glad it is Russel you kept. I'd say, give him some toys to play with and keep him busy for a while.

[@lizard4108]

I knew it was going to be Russell and I'm so glad. He does remind us of Daisy. He's going to be an absolutely awesome livestock guardian dog. Can't wait to watch him go through his training and I can't wait to see how he reacts to Mojo. Love you guys.

[@patriciatrani2071]

😮😮

[@kireenagulen4099]

This is exactly what I was thinking, he reminds me of sweet Daisy. He will be a great guard pup.

[@sarahamers4660]

WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP, I'm so excited, happy and emotional right now. I have been team Russel since Kora had the puppies and I didn't have a clue about Daisy so I am sending love for all of you as I lost my fur baby a year ago when she was nearly 15yrs so I know your pain. But Russel is going to be amazing Guardian, Thank You all for letting us share your life it is going to be so exciting whaching him grow xxxx

[@katherinewillie9776]

I had commented that my guess was Russell back in a few videos past. If Russell recently had gotten wormed sometimes they poop them out and the wiggle and itch if they are in the middle of coming out all the way when they poop. I love your momma dog.✌🏻❤🤠

[@janehondaeckstein8325]

Russell is the cutest 😊 , he has the best parents and human parents to be a great guardian dog. ❤

[@maschellewaits1161]

I love keeping it dutch channel ❤❤❤ Dutch & Brandy, along with Cog Hill, Eldredge family, Arms family homestead. So many more. ❤❤❤thank you all for all your hard work 💜 ❤️

[@rachelanderson7930]

Russell is perfect for your family!! Love him so much already! He and Annie were my favs! Russell is so so fortunate to have such a loving family! 🐕🐕

[@CynthiaSchultz-i8r]

It has been an awesome journey with the pups. Thank you for taking us along. The Expo looked great, bigger and better with so many homesteader speakers. Next year should be even better. The volunteers enjoyed their time there and documented a lot of the going ons. Great job to everyone. God’s blessings

[@susanstillwell2615]

I still miss Daisy and think of her often. I hope Russel does a good job after being trained

[@Oakleyracer]

Cora is like a little puppy when she wants to play.

[@JuJuLotz]

She is a puppy. Sad she had to have her own so young

[@alicemattsen2208]

I’m so grateful to know you’re keeping Russell. He seemed to bond with the family right away and he’s VERY smart!

[@snakey319]

That tan goat is Cora's pal from when she first had the puppies, she loves Cora.

[@kthornton6323]

I’m glad you kept Russel, but I wish you had kept one of the girls too. They were all beautiful. I’m looking forward to watching him get trained and seeing how he and Mojo bond.

[@tinamariebutton3962]

Happy Birthday little bug ❤

[@basicearth8407]

Wow ... I was right and for the right reason too. I commented early that you would pick one of the light ones because it resembled Daisy!

[@onlyborders]

From the day he lost his collar and you never replaced it I knew. Then when you called him Russell on the regular when you couldn't remember the other pups names that was another give away. He would have been my pick. Can't wait to watch him grow up.

[@Guys-Mom]

Yes exactly.. old yeller right

[@lisabrown4507]

The pictures of Daisy brought tears to my eyes. What she went through was unbelievable. She tried so hard. God ❤ Daisy.

[@vanessakammerer5602]

Happy birthday, Sheriff skeeter, we all figured you were keeping Russell. He's a handsome boy. Hopefully, he'll train easily with Mojo at the lead . Glad you all enjoyed the expo. God bless yas. We loved Miss Daisy, brought tears to my eyes, she was a awesome dog

[@lorrieroberts3007]

Well, I was wrong!! I thought it was purple for sure!! But. it's ok, Russell & Annie were my favorites from the get go. I just wanted a girl. They look a lot like each other!! Happy Annie's new family has a beautiful lil girl!! Welcome to your forever home Russell, you already love it there & Kevin & the rest of the family will spoil you rotten!! Russell you are a handsome lil guy!! Awesome journey with Kora & the puppies, Thank you for sharing it with us!! See your journey on Hidden Heights Farm, Russell!! God Bless Hidden Heights Farm

[@lisakaufman7366]

🥳 Happy Birthday Skeeter 🧁. Russell was a great pick. He's a cutie 😊.

[@kimicatcyprowski1781]

Russell is so lucky to have y'all as his new family

[@MadonnaSwimmer]

Russell was meant to be with you,the heart is a symbol of long lasting love forever.

[@lostribe5130]

There is always one that is special. I've lived long enough that I've had more than one that's special.
