Top 10 Best Dogs for Small Farms - Heroes of the Homestead - Dogs 101

Top 10 Best Dogs for Small Farms - It takes a lot of work to run a farm-even a quaint, backyard or hobby farm. And unless you wear a cape and tights on a regular basis, you’ll probably need someone to help with tasks such as managing and guarding your livestock and property, as well as keeping the barns and feed areas vermin-free. To put it bluntly, you’ll need a good farm dog.
On this edition of Animal Facts, we’ll be highlighting the “heroes of the homestead”-our top dogs for small farms.

Hello from Live Life DIY. Awesome video! Thank you for asking me and Bonnie to be part of it.

[@AnimalFacts]

Welcome!! And thank you for the awesome segment.

[@hollyb8993]

So glad you finally highlighted the Ausi! they are Amazing dogs even off the farm :)

[@katievelazquez3524]

You should add the Collies & English Shepards onto this list. Most specifically the Scotch Collies, they are absolutely the best farm dogs out there.

[@TrotterPower]

I've been looking hard into scotch collies lately! Looks like a perfect breed

[@jamesfleming5848]

Blue healers are some good dogs and some are very smart animals.

[@GoosePondHideoutWithRob]

Bonnie agrees. 😁

YOU SAID IT

Here in Australia, you'll rarely find a farm without one!

I don't have a farm but this is a COOL video!

I can recommend "Swedish Lapphund" Swedish dog breed used originally by the native "sami" People in up north Sweden, They used it to herd their reindeer , and as a watchdog but also as a hunting dog. It is still used for hunting moose and wild hogs in Scandinavia, but still it is mostly used for herding or as a watchdog. Great family dog aswell, loves Children and very loving and happy breed

[@maryellencook9528]

My dachshund would kill possums in my backyard until they got the hint to stay away. My border collie mix used to herd the yard cars back onto the property if he thought they were going too far from home.

Wonderful dogs, wonderful video, even for those of us who don't live on a farm!

I have a Catahoula and he does his job on the farm very well

The litter of puppies that is shown during the Australian Shepherd section is actually a litter of Australian Cattledogs. Quite a different breed! Too bad you didn’t show a litter of Australian Shepherds, they are very cute.

[@stevechandler3097]

Good info

[@anitsazubovichdoesntlivehe4912]

Mini Pinschers ! They were bred to catch rodents. They'll go right down the hole. Mine helped me around the farm. Also, they are fearless watch dogs. 💜

[@paulherman5822]

You forgot the classic American farm dog, the rat terrier. My brat terrier, Aednat, wanted to let you know. 😁

Paul Herman ❤❤❤

[@perrypelican9476]

I love border collies but you better keep them busy and run them most of the day.

[@maryjackson5919]

Unfortunately these videos never take in consideration the rough/smooth collie, for instance they would do great in a small farm. They are amazing with kids and they get along well with other animals

[@T0mtoma]

Yesss,Collies are great for this job!

[@JHENSHOMESTEAD]

That's a good suggestion! Can collies guard the property of a small 10 acres hobby farm from strangers?

[@TheMountainman211]

I got 3 Mountain Curs,and I couldn't get better farm dogs they are there game,nothing gets past them

[@TsNTJames]

I have 2 Aussies. 1 Named Rose and the other named Spottie. Spottie is 5 years old, Rosie is 4 and a half years old. Spottie and Rosie jump around, biting and chasing each other. Rosie is a toy and Spottie is a mini. We also have a lot of squirrels in our backyard. Spottie and Rosie Chase and sometimes kill the squirrels. We used to have raccoons Witch was a much tougher fight. But Spottie, not usually Rosie will go down with a fight. Most of the time they will back off. Just giving some information on Aussie!

[@anthonysadventure7830]

My older dog is a red and blue healer mix was amazing at herding chickens but with her old age she's gotten lazy but still enjoys being around the chickens

[@jamesguschke9338]

Good job Terry Jackson! 🥇

[@AnimalFacts]

Thank you, unfortunately Terrri passed away over a year ago. She is missed terribly by many.

[@Mr.happycamaro]

Iv had terrible luck with my pyranees they kill chickens any advice

[@foncywoolsocksiii923]

I'd argue that Burnese Mtn Dogs are acceptable for the list too.

[@jamiehankins1058]

# 4 is wonderful with goats we had one name B.J a loving dog

[@AnimalFacts]

I totally plan on getting goats soon. I kinda wonder how my German Shepherd will take to them.

[@nfoss5656]

My farm has a lab and a miniature schnauzer. My lab makes sure all frisbees and tennis balls are corralled. My mini schnauzer keeps rabbits out of the garden and chases down all the small rodents. She lets us know if something is dead in the yard by rolling in it. Lol

Kangal, Alabai, Coucation Shepherd, Tebitan Mastif, The Best Farm Guards 💯👌

[@tritchie6272]

Goldens are good sporting breeds that make good pets. But not true farm hands. Not unless you consider playing with kids to be a farm chore. The Black Mouthed Cur was used on the farm back in the day. Although Golden Retrievers are very pretty dogs. At least to my eye they are.

[@grammyd8361]

To your answer... Queensland Blue Heelers.

[@lilacDaisy111]

Jack Russells tear into chickens and ducks though.

Catahoula

Great Pyrenees

German Shepherd is one of the least healthy breeds out there , mentally and physically. A few good line have not been ruined. Aussie's also, prone to superstitious behaviors, incessant barking and even their name is fake, get a cattle dog or a kelpie if you want a real AUS dog.

[@cocopebbles7713]

Really? Then, why is it that German Shaperd's are used in the police force???

[@kristophercarter8990]

Not much anymore, for the very reason mentioned. Mostly use Belgian malinois now.

[@sandranickname4948]

goldens is not good farm dogs

[@chucksolutions4579]

Really? I’ve grew up on a farm and we had six Golden’s in my life. The first was “trained,” by a mutt shepherd, and she went on to pass that info down until we got rid of both the sheep and the cows. I’ll admit the last two were just used for hunting but still, best all around dog! Since I’ve had several mutts, a pit, GSD, two labs, and a Mal. I’ve never had a bad dog, but Goldies always have my heart, the Mal and GSD were perhaps a little better at complex work but no where near the pleasant temperament.

[@hughgonzalez8958]

To many commercials!!!!

[@AnimalFacts]

I'll have to see if I can do anything about that.
