  • 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.

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

    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

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

      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.
