Gold Shaw Farm
PO Box 225
Peacham, VT 05862
About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. Our dream is that someday we are able to transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.
Toby at night: "Leave my property, you filthy intruders!"

Hey there! I’m a professional dog trainer and behavior consultant so I had to check this video out to observe his behavior (and because I’m that much of a behavior geek). I wanted to say THANK YOU for the bit around 13:50 where you mention that owners of suburban dogs get upset when dogs bark at night, when it really is what they have been bred to do. YES! Spot on! Dogs will alert bark because frankly, that’s one of the main reasons that humans decided to domesticate dogs’ ancestors in the first place! These guys have allowed us to survive as a species in a very unforgiving world- and being one of humans’ first early alarm systems most certainly contributed to our survival. So when your dog alert barks, they are doing their genetically-encoded job, and not being a little brat :) Anyways, loved watching this quite a bit: thank you for such a treat!
First and still the best. Alarm systems, I mean. ;) They are great deterrents for home invasions, too. I once heard that if a burglar hears a dog bark, they will pass up that house. Even small dogs will make enough noise to rouse their owners.
I have a dachshund in an apartment in the city but I always remind myself she may look like a lap dog but she was bred to kill creatures from rodents to badgers. Her bark is very sharp and grating but she's genetically disposed to do it. She's just trying to be a good dog. For a dachshund she's quite quiet but they'll never be silent dogs.
Not all dogs bark because something is wrong. We had a neighbor dog that barked nonstop all night. The owners didn't give a crap about it. The dog wanted in.
My German sheperd herds me when we go onto runs. He herds honestly everything and everyone. Good old sheep dog!
@@TakenByStormEquestrian wow. I guess that's probably what my puppy (guard dog) is doing when I go in the farm area to tend to the lambs. That makes so much more sense now. I'm glad you wrote that.
I’m a 74 yo now living in the City. I miss living in the Country . Thank you for filling my heart with joy. If I were home now the Pelicans would be returning to the Lake & other Waterfowl. This is what Heaven will look like.
In saburbia dog barks at night. "Damn the dog is barking again!"
On the rural farm dog barks at night
"Oh good he's working, keeping the animals safe."
In the rural side things really work backwards.
@@cezarcatalin1406 you mean barkwards
@@cezarcatalin1406 no, they work as they should. in the city nothing works as it should
It's mostly because people forget what dogs were built for.
@@DieselRamcharger cities man
Make sure when Toby gets to his old age you give him restful few years lying by the fire side ;) old age and arthritis is inevitable
He probably wouldn't like it. My daughter's Great Pyrenees, is old and getting deaf, but he still insists on being with his charges of goats and sheep. Daughter has him at the Vet regularly and gives him Arthritis medicine. He has never wanted to go in the house, won't come in. He has several insulated dog houses scattered over the yard but usually sleeps outside. When he has to go to the Vet he cries all the way there. (Have you ever tried to get a 115 lb. dog in a car when he doesn't want to go? ) He worries about his charges if he is gone. She has an Akbash who has taken over most of the guard duties, so Icicle (GP) is her backup.
Yea outside animals don't always enjoy that. My 20 yo Siamese threw a fit if I tried to keep her indoors for more than a few hours. Knew how to use litter box, never scratched up furniture was an inside kitten, nicest cat I ever did meet but just wanted to live the outside life. Just had to put her to sleep a few years back because she was so old and had a large lump on her skull/ear that was causing extreme pain. Couldn't be fixed by vet without her dying under the knife due to heart murmur. Poor old crossed eyed girl lived her best life till the end tho. Miss her tons. Some animals just want to be outside. It's only natural.
A had another thought that a lot of city people don't know. Livestock Guardian dogs are raised with the animals they have charge of. The sheep, goats turkeys, penguins, whatever are their pack, their family. To take them away from their family is cruel. They have been bred for thousands of years for this job. They will fight to the death to protect their "family". They love them. Just like Irish Setters are all red, Livestock Guardian dogs have been bred to have the thick undercoats to withstand the cold.
Actually- old age is quit the handful. You would have to feed the dog different medicines and help it get up. It really isn’t comfortable for the dog as it’s always in pain.
-personal experience :>
@@marycarricaburu3683 yeah i'm sure they love the humans more ;) and for good reasons
Livestock guardians are so unique. We have a female great pyrenees. We live in town and have no livestock but we DO have 4 little girls that she has definitely claimed as her, "flock". Blanche lived on a farm until she was 18 months old and her family sold the farm due to a divorce but I really think she would have failed as a full time livestock guardian eventually as she has quite a lot of non-breed typical anxiety and timidity. However, even our girl who's afraid of food dishes, cats, thunder, relocated furniture, and occasionally frozen peas turns into a pretty terrifying creature anytime anything makes her suspect that her girls may be at risk. She also has successfully mostly transitioned herself to being awake in the day and sleeping quietly pretty much all night as long as we make sure we have things set up in a way that she doesn't doubt the security of our home and family. That means she sleeps upstairs outside of our bedroom doors with the door at the top of the stairs closed to limit the area she feels she's protecting during that time and so she knows if anyone gets up, she'll be aware of it. We also never leave windows open at night as she apparently can't settle if the windows are open.
I love how he knows daytime is your shift and nighttime is his. I just love flock guardians. Toby trying so hard to play with Pablo was just adorable, as well.
toby during the day: playing dead and lying around
toby at night: *cross this fence and i shall knock you into the trees.*
You gott mee 😂
And I shall make the lorax *FLEE*
lol
And they need it. Before Toby a lot of ducks were lost to a weasel. (Or maybe it was a mink.)
@@veramae4098 bro after that, that weasel probably became a fucking sock for toby
The shift in his demeanour is so interesting, even the way he walks. Buddy clocks out when the sun rises 😂
When my daughter's Great Pyrenees was younger she got her Akbash, who was a young dog. The dogs on their own divided up their duties. Icicle, the Great Pyrenees, took the night shift and Arrow, the Akbash, took the day shift.
He decides his job and his hours. We need to learn from toby.
Look at the way he starts to play with his stick once the sun comes out! It's such a sudden change, you could call it a *_stick shift_* !
@@savethebees2574 🤣🤣🤣
its like a prison guard being super serious while on duty and after he clocks out he lets his inner goofy come out.
The way you speak to your animals is exactly how my Indian dad spoke to his chickens and farm dogs. Continents away but poultry farming lingo remains the same 😂
Dad passed away a little while bsck and hearing you talking Toby boy and the quackquins is so nostalgic to me.
"Release the Quacken!" Love it. Great dog doing what he does best.
"Alexander Hamilhen" was unexpected
We used to have a German Shepherd who would guard my little sister and I when we were outside playing. Her commitment was put to the test on several occasions, when the neighbor's two dogs would come barreling into our yard looking for a fight. They were known to go after people and horses around their property, and sometimes they got loose. Our German Shepherd put herself firmly between us and the neighbor's dogs, stopping them in their tracks. She wasn't interested in attacking them, she had one mission: to protect us. Her assertive and steadfast nature kept all of us from harm. It's been fifteen years since she died, but I will never forget her.
Awww what a sweet story. What a wonderful dog
good dog 👍
"i will never forget her"
dude, you forgot the name!
:D
When i watch this video i see a very loney man 👎
Good pupers
At this point I'm nearly certain that his whole reason for having this farm was just for the sake of fowl puns such as 'release the Quacken.'
Did, did anyone else see this pun? Cause it hit me like a frying pan.
Hit me like a big fat Goose!
Hey now‐
Hey meow, don’t egg me on
Maybe I mean if you don’t have fun at your job/livelihood you’re going to go insane that’s my motto
Dogs are such an immense blessing
Hello stephanie
How are you doing today?
I always love seeing dogs like toby outside living life like this. It's so nice to see them in the habitat they were born for.
I'm SO THRILLED to see how Toby and Pablo are now BFFs!
I think because he lost lil as a companion
Same
@@northernpennrailproduction3373 Who is that? I must have missed that. Maybe he could have another dog friend?
Yes.... More videos like this. Yes, yes... And of course, more training mode videos too.
@@dona62851 he is getting a dog frenid in spring, lil barn cat
lol as soon as he walks up to the gate Toby stretches like "okay good shift, good shift"
lol
The fact that the cat and dog share food in the same bowl is really nice :)
This is what I want the rest of my life to be like. A beautiful home with a lot of land, with animals and gardens. Just truly living off the earth
Toby: “BARK! WHO GOES THERE?!”
Morgan: “Hey buddy.”
Toby: “omgosh hooman hi dad hi dad.”
Also hey Morgan, if you want a name for your Cayuga cross maybe name him Frost? I had a duck named frost who was my buddy but sadly was killed a while back. I’d love to see Vermont Frost!
Maybe Dusty for Cayuga X... Not very good at coming up with names, so maybe Little Foot for Yellow Neck's son.
@@janetleegreen8891 Little Foot is a great name :)
I do love how dogs go from looking Fierce to big goofy love bums in no time flat
Cringy asf. God I hate people who do this. It’s not cute. It’s autistic.
6:10 He's actually not playing dead. This is how dogs rest when they feel safe. :) My pup does it every night on the couch.
Awww my dog does that too! I didn't know that's what it meant so this makes me really happy
this is actually how he summons kuthulu
lol
We had a plott hound who slept like that xD he snored like a chainsaw too.. God he was a fantastic dog.. ❤️
@@maryfreegirl2029 Yeah, it's sleeping with sensitive parts exposed, clearly completely at ease. :) It speaks for you. Your dog clearly has full confidence in you.
Reminds me of the Anatolian shepherd dog I used to own. She didn't guard any livestock but she had natural guard instincts. I live in a rough area and while walking her I had a few encounters with threatening guys, and she would always swap from friendly loving dog to "Attack mode" whenever she picked up bad vibes. She was quite an independent dog too, but loyal to all ends. Miss her a lot
So cool to see his demeanor change as he gets that game face on to protect everybody through the night, good boy!
The simple joy of his "Release the Quacken!" Hilarious 🤣
I know! Just how he says it and the joy in his voice. right? Love watching this farm life.
It gets me every time 🤣
When i watch this video i see a very loney man 👎

I’m crying 😂😂😂
😀❤️❤️❤️
what this part of the video lol
Seeing Toby’s tail wagging the whole time really makes me happy!
I love how happy and healthy Toby looks 🥺🥺 also the fact he stays so clean while being white is some witchcraft
lol
Pablo is just something else - he really enjoys the company of Toby, but he acts all snobby to him, just for the sake of it
you can tell pablo has 100% got him with a good swipe at some point though
Pablo is a cat yes
Classic Tsundere
Are we saying Pablo is a Tsundere?
Toby is precious. ❤️ What a great dog.
The low key smashing pumpkins and you saying “today is the greatest
“ prob the smoothest reference so far.
I was so happy to hear that part!! Love the smashing pumpkins
I AM SO GLAD ANOTHER PERSON NOTICED!
And the little jingle playing is perfect
Wdym?
@@shln3788 "Today is the greatest" is a reference to the lyrics of "Today", which was one of the Smashing Pumpkins hits back in the mid-90s(1994, if I had to guess).
Enjoyed the video. Handsome dog! I saw in my CZcams analytics a lot of my viewers watch this channel. I thought I'd stop by and check it out. Best wishes from Minnesota 🖐🙂

This was so cute. I like that there are not negative comments about him being an outside dog. He's got a job and gets plenty of attention and love. He's got his best friend kitty. He is living his best life :)
8:12 - Toby turns into a gourd dog.
Haha “gourd”
Gourd 😆
livestock gourdian dog lol
Oh I almost spit out my water reading that
Oh my God
Lovely to see the interaction between the dog and the cat as equals. The dog obviously sees his role differently towards the livestock. He guards but doesnt interact with them
How do you think he knows the difference? Is it just a species thing? Cats = friend
Ducks = protect
@@codycampbell3562 yeah , dogs have the ability to differenciate spicies, and will adopt a different behavior depending on wich kind of animal they are interacting with
@@codycampbell3562 Are you aware of the Fact that Dogs and Cats are both Predators? And did you notice that ducks look and act extremely different compared to cats?
And do you know that Dogs were never trained to protect a flock of cats?
Yea I noticed that too, he is guarding the livestock, but the cat is a friend....
I have a pyrs, the cats are not enemies but they are not friends either
That dog is living the life looks so happy so much room to roam around and being around so many other animals that he gets to help look out for he must love it.
What a great dog! Love his friendship with the other animals. And sharing his meals with the cat! So cute!
I know hes a guard dog so you cant pet him that much, But Toby is so adorable.
Actually, he’ll know when he wants to lived and when he doesn’t want to bothered. We have a Great Pyrenees and they are just as stubborn. But ALWAYS on the job. Although, ours does not live on a farm.
you can pet and play with your guard dog as much as you want,they will still do their job..they are not dumb
you can still pet them, but they don't live for attention like companion dogs do. i generally think of them more like cats: they'll accept being petted sometimes, but they mostly do their own thing. guard dogs like this get all their affection/attention from the animals they guard. i
@@corbeaudejugement My Pyrenees lovesssss attention. He’s such a hog from it comes to love and affection
@@magicmoments6899 Police dogs live at home and are treated like family. When they get their work uniform on their at work.
So cute. I think Toby needs a dog buddy to snuggle up with.
I mean he does have pablo the cat
@@hoogis it’s not the same. He wants to play but Pablo wants nothing to do with it. Our friends have two Pyrenees so they can keep each other company (also for double to protection).
Edit: they don’t have Pyrenees dogs, they have Akbash, a Turkish breed for livestock guarding dogs. They look very similar to Pyrenees and Merema.
@@kaylizzie7890 Eh it looks like Pablo enjoys Tobys companie and even plays with him. Its just that dogs and cats play differently
Same he seems a little lonely when his owner leaves 🥺
My grandfather uses great paranies to protect there goats and kill alot of coyotes
I LOVE when you say "Release the Quacken!" That makes me laugh every time. Well done on these videos and well done teaching people how to run a naturally sustainable farm. You make wonderful videos!
All this time i thought toby was a samoyed haha i just did some research about maremmas and they're absolutely gorgeous and super intelligent, now thats why toby is the perfect guard dog
He’s a Great Pyrenees dude
Farmer: You’re such a good dog i love you. You too pablo
Dog: he called you a good dog
Pablo: Just eat your food
🤣🤣
😂❤️
XD
Love this! I also have a livestock guardian dog. She comes inside occasionally, but mostly she prefers to be outside. She also supervises birds and is incredibly gentle with them. During the day, she is such a big goofy floof, but at night, she's so serious, like Toby. We always have to announce our presence at night or she gives out this terrifying bark/growl because she thinks we may be intruders. As soon as she realizes it's us, she says hello and carries on patrolling. They are really amazing dogs.
That's awesome! My dogs want to live in a farm so bad.
same! my dog likes it outside more than inside
Toby is a gorgeous Livestock Guardian Dog!! Luv the Great Pyrenees!! So tactical yet loving!
What a lucky dog! He has a purpose and a family that loves him, most humans don't even have both of those things in their life...
Toby will always be "Employee of the Month" until another Maremma competes for the title.
Sorry! Toby always wins!!!
Toby is already Hall of Fame.
@@largemouthfisherman5298 Like giving Vince Lombardi the Vince Lombardi Award!
My GSD guards my house at night. He moves between 5 floors checking each room. Sometimes, I get a wet kiss from him which tells me he heard something outside. Usually deer eating from the apple tree next to the house. Vigilant.
@ludy I agree, my wife (and baby) and I sleep well knowing he is always watching. My baby is obsessed with him too.
5 floors?
@@josedaviddelevante9211 Technically 7, but the sub-sub basement and sub basement are a no go for him. So it's basement, lower living room, main floor, 2nd floor and 3rd floor.
@@chaleowin7732 nice man what’s his name?
5 floors? That's an office building, not a house LOL
Pablo and Toby can be written into children's stories. They are so sweet.
Toby is a BEAUTIFUL BOY!!!
i know only a few people appreciate this but this indeed is a result of good breading and then good training and its so heart warming to see how easily everything falls into place.
I don't see any breads here
@@robinyumnam2646 he probably meant "breeding"
I swear Toby is the cutest dog ever.
Thats true for every dog😂
Toby: My farm! Mine! Begone!
I love toby but my dog is bater
He and Monty are YT celebrities
We don't believe you !!!
😂😂😂
Joking
The dog reminds the dark that sunlight is coming. He is so brave all alone in the night, shouting out to the creatures of darkness the triumphant news -Toby Rules.
I have a Pyrenean Mastiff and he bellows and cant stand being away from me. Hes over 160lbs really loyal dog! A gentle giant until he thinks there is a threat. I live in Maine I rescued him from Florida as i drove 27 hrs each way to get him. he was covered in hundreds of yeast sores had dreds and stunk so bad it was like he was rotting. Took shaving him multiple times and tons of antibiotics. Now he is healthy happy and loves his new home. He cries when I'm away from him I think he knows how much I did to save him and is afraid I'll leave him! Dogs are wonderful! I'm glad you found such a great dog!
6:56 - Smashing Pumpkins playing as pumpkins arrive about to be smashed. Well done sir.
“Today is the Greatest”
I love that version of it. So awesome 😎
Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed...thank you for not disappointing me!
Would be better if he threw them from an icecream truck :-)
@@heavenmemoriesnotta Please tell me which version that is D:
My 2-year-old son and I watch this video almost daily! He loves ducks, geese, and dogs, and he just loves watching Toby chew on that pumpkin. Thanks for posting kid-friendly videos! So fun to watch and learn from your farm.
This is such a cute comment omg. I hope you and your son are doing well! ❤️
you should bring him to the real deal: it's a ton of fun
That is crazy-cute.
I am SO Happy Toby has his New friend Abby to keep him happy it was so sad Toby all along But Not no more 👍❤️💕💜
Toby locks it down at night but then gets cute and playful with Pablo during the day.
Toby is a great dog.
So glad to see Toby do his thing. Some people get dogs like these in a humid climate just to show off. It's also impressive how he's resistant to cold weather. Sending belly rubs for you Toby!!
Maybe some people do it to show off but I don't think too many people are like that. Flock gaurdians are great dogs like my great Pyrenees. We live in Northern California & they are popular out here & it gets warm in the summer. I work at & rescue & we don't keep the for long at all because they are so wonderful gentle giants as companions or work
When dogs find a smell they really like they roll in it to carry it with them. They seem to like wearing exotic "perfumes" like poop, dead fish, compost...
Cermet like Irish Spring scent
Slugs. Yup.......slugs.
my family has a cabin with a bunch of otters in the area. they LOVE the otter poop. i thought they were trying to mask their own scent from their prey
@@EnbyAxolotlOfficial cermet is an sophisticated an cermet dog. He bathes in no trash, only irish spring.
@Noli's World Oof
2:56 "there's more than one way to mark his [the dog] territory" hahaha hilarious.
16:35 it's beautiful to see how a cat and a dog joyfully play together.
You have beautiful animals.
Love these “day in the life” videos! Thanks for all the work you do to include us in the daily farm operations.
It always confuses me how dogs don't seem to need consistent sleep. Like, I know Toby mostly rests during the day, but he still gets up and does various dog things.
I can't even get out of bed with three alarm clocks blazing sometimes...
It's because humans have now a long and continuous sleep schedule, but it's believed that we tended to sleep in two times in the same day, less hours each one so we didnt feel so exhausted.
I feel like I am better if I sleep less
thats because the way that most animals sleep is that they take naps throughout the day, and we're one of the only animals who actually sleep mostly at night
Also add in the fact that our brain consumes a lot of extra energy, so yeah you get tired of thinking ;p
Same for me, sometimes I wonder how we used to survive in the wild.
My Dad had 3 alarms. 1.) Bye the bed.
2.) one on the dresser in the bedroom, which he had to walk to turn off.
3.) one in the BATHROOM. If he got that far, he was up.
I've got 4 dogs on my farm, they keep everything away until the cougar comes.. They tree or chase off raccoons, opossums, fox, coyotes, feral cats, weasels, and even owls and hawks on our unfenced, entirely free range, 40 acre farm. I've even seen the mutts pull a teenage black bear out of a tree last year. They are afraid of a cougar though, but hey, me too!! The cool thing is they have different barks that mean different things, learning the difference and tuning your body to wake at a specific bark or howl is important. Cougars are opportunistic and also like to stalk their prey but luckly it hasn't gotten my dogs, goats, pigs, cows, or very many fowl. I'm very proud of my farm dogs and I hope to get a couple Maremmas to add to our pack next year to help our 10 and 8 year old dogs out and give them much deserved rest. I really enjoy your video! Thank you!
It's like that hound hunting. We run bear hounds and they'll bark and howl at deer and cats. But they don't take chase.
@Bruce Wayne it's harder then that unless there solo or small
I did enjoy watching the day in the life of Toby. God bless you and your farm family. 🙋🏻♀️♥️🇺🇸
"RELEASE THE QUACKING!!"😭🤣 I love seeing someone genuinely love life and make the best out of any and everything that comes with it.. like for example working, just like he is in this video❤️
Toby and Pablo’s friendship is so endearing ❤️
They are just so chill with each other
The pumpkin seeds are a natural de-wormer for chickens and ducks. We have a Pyrenees/Aanatolian cross. Great dogs.
Hey,.. I resemble that Comment 🤗
They're a natural dewormer for dogs and humans too. Trust me. 😂😅
I love Toby. My Hero. 👍👍👍 Thank you for having Him. Sincerely Everett WA USA 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🐕🦺🙂👋
Toby is such a beautiful dog. I love to watch him.
More Toby
More Pablo
More lil’ Barn Cat
More Geese
More Ducks
More more more
Yes
I agree!
Me too 🐶🐱🐣🦆🐔🎃
Yes
You forgot the Chickens!
I know for a fact that the bark at night was "frightening and aggressive". I have PTSD and believe it or not I had an ironic little chuckle when I felt the goosebumps on my arms and the hair stand on the back of my neck. I picked up the aggression from the video alone. Fascinating.
Randomly found this video and this made my day! There's something so pure and peaceful about watching a day in the life of a regular working man!
Toby is such a good boy. I love seeing working dogs doing their jobs cause you know they’re enjoying it. It pains my soul when people have a German shepherd in an apartment, not doing anything all day. And then they wonder why their dog is so misbehaved and wrecks everything lol.
Man there's just such a stoic quality to the way Toby stands guard at night. I got my doberman as a Guard dog, seeing her stand to attention when someone's skulking about outside is the same thing. You just cant help feel a sense of pride in them.
P.S. Hard to train and stubborn dog breeds are always more useful.
I like how he is constantly wagging his tail
My family picked up a Great Pyrenees in SC a couple years ago. He is the best so we’ve ever had! He’s sweet and cuddly. Just a good boy 😊
I don’t know how we lucked out, but he doesn’t ever bark at night, unless our cat is outside the bedroom door 🤣 he sleeps in bed with us and sleeps like a baby. His name is Yeti ❤
I have a great Pyrenees as well best dog I've ever had.
Please love this dog beyond measure!!
It must be nice having a cat as well when the creepers come
Edit thanks for the likes
Lol
Yeah getting a piece of string by my bed sometimes is cool lol
He had one, did you not see it eat with Toby?
IgnitedPie it’s a Minecraft reference lol
Get another one for him to team up with . It would be cool to watch him taking a pup on patrol with him at night . Dogs are happier in a pack . Great video
This is especially true for LGS! They work amazingly well in pairs and it prevents Coyotes from luring them away and jumping them.
Did you just pitch Paw Patrol?
@@EddyOfTheMaelstrom hahaha
Yes, I am a big believer in pairing up LGDs. They work so much better as a team of two or more.
Well, guess what?!?!
Looks like a Great Pyrennes. Love mine. He goes on high alert with bears around. Very protective and intelligent.
Thank you for sharing your farm, Toby, Pablo and all your quackers. Beautiful farm!!!
He is so handsome, and so good at his job. He needs another dog to play with and be a co-guardian. Pablo doesn't want to play. So cute, him play bowing.
I had a feeling Pablo and Toby would end up getting along quite well. In the earlier videos, when Toby was a puppy, you could see some submissive behavior from him toward Pablo, and now that he's gotten older and has less puppy energy Pablo has really taken a shine to him.
You did such a good job with Toby. Just watching the video I can tell what a well trained and amiable dog he is. No aggressive or assertive behavior toward his farm family; just calm and collected confidence. The birds are super comfortable with him and even Pablo is eating right out of Toby's bowl! What amazing work you've done with all of your animals!
Its amazing the amount of character in these animals and the way they get along and the dependencies between them and you. It must be a true joy to experience. Thanks for sharing the point of view.
Toby is so handsome. I love lifestock guardians. My girl is a gp/hound mix. One time I was laying next to her and she went on guard full alert. I have never seen such majestic power these animals Have Nothing was going to move her unless she wanted to be moved.
Goose: Dog, I have your tail, you are mine now!
Toby: Uh huh....after I'm done chewing on this orange thingy.
why do we enjoy watching this guy take care of his farm so much
'Cause we're not doing the work! 😊
because we we long for country life and growing our own food naturally instead living in cities.
@@janica.4688 maybe, but that would also give up all the dreams i have so. Somethings weirdly therapeutic about these videos tho
Good question! I wonder how many of us will ponder that rather than grab hold of a reflex answer. i loved it! And kind of wonder why.
Aminals
It's amazing how all the animals love Tobby, and specially Pablo eating together with him! I've never seen that with cats and dogs
god the play bows from toby to pablo are so sweet
Toby when sun comes out: Okay I did good I get stick now.
Yes, just what I needed, seeing a Toby doing what a Toby does. You can tell he really loves his job, master (?), friend Pablo and the nanimals. Thanks, enjoyed!👍
Really enjoyed watching. I gave up my ducks, geese and chickens a few years back for health reasons and I miss them so desperately. I would enjoy more of the videos showing the animals behavior. I spent hours watching mine and having 6 week old and older chicks climb on me each evening just before going to roost. It is a kind of special you have to raise them and love them to experience.
I love this dogs demeanor he's so sweet. He looks very soft. I had a boxer named Toby he would play tether ball with me. He would jump up and hit the ball with both paws back to me. Of course I always let him win.
I’ve been a petsitter for 13 years and my favorite breeds are the livestock guardian dogs. I’ve never had the pleasure of a Maremma, but I’ve sat for Komondors, Great Pyrenees, and Briards. Toby Dog looks like the bestest boy.
They're the smartest kinds of dogs if you ask me. Super independent, but loyal and loving for their pack
No komondor ,name Kuvasz ungarise hund
A day in the life of Pablo next please!!! Or as much as you can, I have a feeling he’ll slip away for quiet time after a while lol
Pablo go pro lol I'd like to see him try it.
I think Toby knows that there are more predators out at night, than in the day.
this is actually the greatest video ever made by anyone
How much I enjoyed to watch Toby 🐶 being on his night shift He’s such a good mannered dog , who also guard “his”
farm and the various other species of quakers . So nice to see he has befriended Pavlos .
All in all I think you’re a very lucky person to have this great dog. 👍🏻 Toby is also lucky to live on the farm and being loved and cared for..
Great video, 😀
😊 thank you
So relax to watch you n your animals ...lovely toby n cat ..they eat together💕all the best wishes for you all ...n Alison !!
thoroughly enjoyed this. more on pablo and toby's relationship would be fun
I think you are perfect. You love your animals. People don’t like change. Have a great evening!
Love watching them all munch on some pumpkin! My pup adores pumpkin. I definitely understand Toby's pickiness - my pup is the same way. Toby is a 100% good boy.
