Farm Dog

The podcast about the working dogs of farming, ranching, homesteading, and rural living. Presented by Goats On The Go® and hosted by its founder, Aaron Steele. We discuss the fascinating history and current practice of humans working with dogs to make a living from the land. Our chats with experts cover breeds, training, on-farm experiences, and more. Herding dogs (stockdogs) and livestock guardian dogs are frequent topics, but terriers, hunting dogs, and good ol' all-around farm dogs are up for discussion, too. If it produces, protects, or provides for our rural lives, we'll talk about it.

Ep. 116: Real work, and sheep dogs vs. cow dogs (Haley Hunewill - rebroadcast)

For a stockdog, what is “real work” on a farm or ranch, and how is it different than a competitive trial? Is real work necessary for developing a well-rounded stockdog? What does "well-rounded" even mean, and for that matter, is it really all that important? Rancher, trainer, and trialer, Haley Hunewill is here to tell us.

Ep. 115: Dog food is more than just calories with a price tag (John Howard - rebroadcast)

Back in Episode 46 I vented about the deceptive labeling practices of dog food companies that make comparing the price of one brand to another nearly impossible. I went on to describe my strategy for finding a good value, but John Howard of Kinetic Performance Dog Food listened to that episode, and he’s here to add some depth to my superficial solution.
