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 &quot;well-rounded&quot; even mean, and for that matter, is it really all that important? Rancher, trainer, and trialer, Haley Hunewill is here to tell us.

Ep. 117: Thousands of sheep, countless buzzards, and dozens of guardian dogs (Austin Troyer - rebroadcast)

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.
