Breed chat and expectations

- Abra has only been at the farm for 3 days now. Whilst the biting/snapping/nipping is persistent and expected … she’s a Maligator! … she is also showing us all her other typical breed qualities that make her the perfect dog for some serious jobs in the world. Just a day following her progress and you see why she is a magnificent dog with a person who knows what she needs. But in the hands of someone with little experience, like where she has come from, she can get herself into a lot of trouble. This is not a dig at people, it’s about knowing more about these dogs in our lives whatever breed or personality they may be and doing what’s best for them. Abra is giving us all a little insight into a breed that has been bred for a very specific purpose. Ignoring that and trying to make her fit as a square peg in a round hole, will never work. Dogs are living creatures and have so many varying and important needs. Abra is showing us some of hers.

This comment is for the newer viewers or occasional viewer, as your regular viewers and subscribers understand this already having watched Luke and the pack for months, if not years. This video showcases Luke’s really rare expertise as a professional trainer. It’s unbelievable to see how cohesive and responsive this big pack is given their varied ages, backgrounds and breeds. Luke you are a maestro having made this look easy. But it wasn’t. Big work. Big knowledge. Big effort. This video is like watching a symphony. Bravo maestro!!!
Well said and thank you. Luke and Sam deserve to get an Australian Award for helping acute rescue dogs thrive. This is such a specific set up, with a pack of rehabilitated young dogs, open woodland, grassy runs, children and pools. A privilege to observe and learn.
Great summation, Betsy!
Perfect, beautiful words. Xx🙋💓
As a fairly new subscriber - Thank You. 🐶
Great summation... As a retired teacher ... With Luke as the teacher. I liken it to a classroom of Personalities. Luke is very well aware of each individual Personality and responds accordingly to each individuals needs.
I love how the other dogs are enjoying being involved last training Joey sat with her until Luke said free. This time Tilly went in room and stood in doorway with her until Luke said free. Then when she sat the right way and Luke praised her all the dogs ran up and surrounded her like they were happy with her. They are such wonderful dogs.
Teamwork At Its Finest.
Yes, and the other day cutie pie was showing her how it works in the pool. Just love it.😄
@@sunshinebutterflies2771 I forgot that one cutie makes me laugh when she swims. She's so adorable.
When Tilly waited at the door, I almost choked up at the sweetness.☺️🐾❤️
@@mortalclown3812 me too!!!❤️☺️
I love seeing Hope thriving. What a magical change in her trust issues. She is so enjoying life.
I just love how Shadow and Hope constantly look for Sam to get some rubs and love. ❤️🐾❤️🐾. They are Mama’s girls.
Sam does her own kind of training, with those that really do need it. She has a mothers intuition and heart. I honestly do not think that both Faith and Hope would have opened up. Or for Hope to be where she is, without her first trusting Sam.
All the other pooches, The staffy sisters, Miss Red one day when Sam and Luke took all the doggo's to the beach. Sam was standing beside the bus getting ready to leave the farm. The dogs were all pouring in. I think miss Red went into the bus and quickly came back out and I think Miss Violet as well to sit near and wait for Sam. Shadow, the former Tassie Devil, after Luke took off all her sharp edges. Shadow is the most lovable little thing now.
All the dogs, the ones that have come from terrible existences and the ones that have conditions, I love to see them going to Sam, waiting for Sam, even Rosco boy protecting Sam sitting right on her feet or by putting himself between her and what ever else is getting on his Nerves. ha ha. Maggie, Tank, Chop chop, Barney boy, even Chancey boy. Remember when Chance would run back and forth between Luke and Sam when he was starting to get things right. Any way credit, when credits Due.
@@njsmkmmsthatsit3518 🥰💯🏜🌞😎🌵👍👋
That was so cute when Tilly didn't move until Luke said free to Alba. Never to old to listen to dad
🐾❤️ Tilly makes my heart full whenever I look at her.
I love Tilly too, she is adorable!
Tilly is showing Abra how it's done!!!!
I have watched this video so many times and I’m astounded by Abras growth. At the start she wants to work and be close to Uncle Luke. By the end she has learnt so much and wants to be physically connected to Uncle Luke all the time. All with an absolutely expressionless face.
I love how she carries a bite toy most of the time when she is free roaming in the pack.
I developed so much respect for the Belgian Malinois learning about their military and police work. I know full well I could never own or train one as they really are unsuitable to be anything other than serious working dogs. So I never thought I would get to watch one be trained. Imagine my joy at realising Luke was taking on Abra. I knew they were bright and responsive and love to work...but watching her focus on Luke as a PUPPY is just amazing.
The biggest thing I noticed in the first video or two was just how much effort you were putting into her, and that is the best thing about watching Luke train her: I'm watching a master at work using all his skills.
I am so glad that Luke is enjoying training her. I feel like her of all people has earnt the right to train a dog like this, and to enjoy it.
Thank you Luke and Sam so very much for the opportunity to watch.
Oh dear Rosco and Chance, Good luck getting some alone time with Luke while Abra is around.❤
I am so happy for Luke; I think it's a dream to have this breed of dog to train. And I am so happy for Abra! There is NO better place to become the best that she can be. I envision a police department coming forward to get Officer Abra once the training is over.
I'm glad you said this - wonder if there is a working dog gig that's not quite as dangerous 🙂💖 She's already shown so much bravery, hasn't she?
I think that is an excellent idea 1 on 1 with an officer that would dearly love her!!! Best Buddies!!
Well the K9 division breed and train their own on the whole but she's most certainly of the right age and of superb intelligence quick to learn and talent....and they do take younger age rescue dogs as well of course with the ability Abra is showing. I was thinking what a perfect police dog she would be 💕
After hearing Luke talk about Abra and the breed, I'm not sure just being a farm dog would be enough for her. Luke mentioned military dog or police dog. I could see that for her once she's trained. She needs a big job. Such a smart girl.
Are they generally one person dogs who in general don't care much about bonding with other people/dogs? Now it makes sense why they are mostly one on one for K9/military work.
She definitely needs police or military. They need serious work and are a one person dog. Love them to bits. I noticed, even Joey checks Abra periodically.
On another video, Luke said she is already too old for military work. She missed out on 4 critical months of being trained in noisy, stressful environments etc. They start to train them at a very young age.
Well, I really hope the find the right owner that knows how to keep her occupied and happy.
Im sure Luke would know how to keep Abra working and happy .
The never ending energy Abra has as a pup is amazing. Not once have I seen her take a little nap between activities like pups usually do as they run out of steam. It is hard to believe she is only 4 months old. Miss Violet even when she is stuck under water by the bigger dogs she is not scared or fearful and she is straight back in, she is awesome. ❤
Sad that such a young puppy ended up in rescue but so happy she ended up in the best place for any dog.
This is truly fascinating me. Her eagerness and her willingness to learn is astonishing! She is constantly glued to Luke looking the whole time for a ‘what’s next...’
Imagine how quickly she could pick up the wrong things to do. Hardly bears thinking about. Your doing a great job Abra ❤️
She’s a highly intelligent dog who requires not only lots of physical stimulation but constant mental stimulation. Can see that Abra is a 24/7 365 days a year for the rest of her life dog. Not an easy commitment but definitely a worthwhile and rewarding one with one of the select few humans
Absolutely
💯🏜🌞😎🌵👍👋
Certainly not a dog for anyone who wants an easy companion! And sad for the dogs, as they would inevitably end up in shelters and likely eventually on death row 😢
I have an Akita. I spend an enormous amount of time discouraging people from getting one of the adorable fuzzy pups and thinking they will end up with a Golden Retriever! No matter how well trained, you are getting an 80 to a 100 pound cat! Has KittyRose learned a recall yet? 😆 Look at breed traits, please, before getting a puppy.
@Carnivore Amy I had a Shiba Inu...an abused rescue. Probably the most difficult dog I have ever owned. In all the 14 years I owned her, she never trusted people and no one she didn't know could touch her. She was a challenge. She was amazingly cat like, always clean, fastidious about herself, aloof, she liked affection but only on her terms. All the other dogs were wary of her, she would bite them if they overstepped her boundaries. I absolutely adored her and was devastated when she passed away at the age of 16. But I would not own another Shiba. Not anywhere near as challenging as a Malinois, but still, not for an inexperienced dog owner
I think we could tell how excited you are to train Abra. She’s in safe hands. ❤
Abra is an astounding dog, and it's so exciting to watch her grow. However, for me, Sam and Luke's greatest achievements will always be their preparedness to save the lives of dogs that nobody wants. It took almost a year of love, patience, and training to give Shadow, Rosco, YoYo, Hope, Faith, Freddo, Neveah, Molly, Luna, and Chance happiness. The Farm loves semi-blind, deaf, incontinent, neurologically impaired dogs without question. Nobody wanted Chop and Tank, but they now live the best lives. Joey, a failed sheep dog, escaped euthanasia and came to the Farm. Lily lives an amazing life even though her future is not certain. Miss Violet's ginormous achievements are because of Sam and Luke, elsewhere she would be euthanised.
Well said!
I agree. Chance was almost unbelievably relaxed and undemanding in this post. He is a testament to Luke's patient long term training. Maybe Luke deserves Abra to train after the months with Chance.
What I was trying to say in a long-winded way is that Abra's intelligence is astounding, and I'm so glad Luke is getting the chance to train her. But Luke and Sam took the time to teach Miss V how to swim when she couldn't even see the ramp she needed to get out of the pool! That's astounding for Miss V and Luke and Sam!
Very well said 👏👏
Well said!!
I love how Sam defends all the dogs against any perceived slight from Luke. He implied the Misses Red and Violet weren’t terribly bright in an earlier video, and that Cutie might not be as brave or advanced as Abra here, but Sam wasn’t having any of it! ❤️
Hi guys! I feel like I have to say this although probably nobody even knows me. After being a daily watcher and commentary to support the channel, I have been away for about 2 months due to caring for 2 very ill family members, neither if which live with me or even in the same residence as each other. It's been crazy. But I feel bad because of my lack of actual support. Anyway, here I am and so glad to hear your voices, Luke and Sam, and to see all the doggies. I know I have a lot of catching up to do!❤
Welcome back! If you have any questions, just ask away. Someone will know the answer.
Well welcome back Evelyn! Unfortunately many of us have had the experience of caring for loved ones these days. Love this community here, always encouraging and adding smiles to our days.
Dee must be overjoyed to see how wonderful Abra is getting around The Farm with Luke and Sam!!! I know my face muscles are hurting from laughing and smiling and cheering so much in this episode!!!!!
I second that. I enjoy this video very much. Abra is hilarious.
We are all in there, aren’t we? Cheering her on.
Awesome , awesome video. So intense. So enthralling. Good job Luke and Sam AND ALL the fur babies. 💖💚💜
Ecko, a famous Belgian Malinois, and his Navy handler from Mexico are part of a very experienced search and rescue team have arrived in Turkey. BTW, Labradors, Collies, and GSH are also part of the team. They travel in their own seats on the plane next to their handler! It's cute, but in Turkey, some will be sniffing for dead bodies, and others will be chambering through ruins and are at significant risk.
Luke I love how excited you are at training Abra. Your enthusiasm made me smile. I am excited for you at the chance to train such an intelligent dog. I wish more people could have the benefit of your knowledge into breeds and how some like Abra just aren't suited to an "average, normal" home environment. The video today was really informative as well as thoroughly enjoyable seeing the dogs having such fun in the pool 💕
Abra is interesting to watch because she is so willing to really try anything. Her snapping at water droplets is fun to watch but also demonstrates that powerful jaw. Her commitment to learn is so strong. Fun watching the pups and the go pros. I love to observe the varied swimming techniques. I love to watch the golden’s coat in water. Have a great weekend with your mini shark! 😘❤️🐾😎
Luke trying to play down his enthusiasm, hide his excitement, is only working on himself! The rest of us picked up on how he was feeling from the beginning!😂😂😂
My neighbour here in the UK is a K9 police officer and has a malinois police dog called Flash, I often bump into them on walks. His colleagues call Flash a “land shark” 🫣 soft as a lab when not on duty, but when his harness goes on to work he is a force to be reckoned with!
I wonder if this is Luke's most exciting trainee? I'm loving their interaction and mutual respect 🥰🥰
I was thinking about that myself - I think someone has fallen in love with Abra!! just wondering one more maybe?!😍
I'm so in love with Abra already, too . This girl is precious & brilliant. But if they can find the right forever home, it would validate everything Luke's been talking about.
On the other hand 🤣, who else would be a better owner? I just want them to be able to keep taking pups in, getting them squared away to adopt, etc. If they keep them all, it's a quandary.
You know what's cool? Thousands and thousands of us are already cheering her on: she's already beaten odds... like a couple of other dogs we've seen. ☺️❤️
@@bellabebis746 Betting you're spot on. Welcome to The Farm..shhh.
Watching this video for the second time. Abra is amazing and I have never seen a dog like her.
I think he also loved training Joey.
Very smart Abra is. Why I was as excited as Luke her first day. She can perform lots of tricks including walking thru his legs as he walks. Belgians can climb walls and trees. Catch a bag on their way up and go over the walls. Catch Frisbees 12 feet in the air.
I love all of your different breed of dogs but man do I love Belgian Malinois Shephards!!!
And she's all Black too. ❤ 🌞 🌈
The hardest dogs to adopt.
Very eager to please.
No treats just love and respect.
Like any dog it's all about the owners intelligence.
Luke you are the pack leader.
Abra trying to protect you from a Dogo/Rosco is fearless and loyal.
I have some catching up to do. I have been super busy this past month with work and other stuff and I haven't had the usual time to watch the farm activities. Am looking forward to seeing all my favorite doggies. I hope they are all doing well. I did see most of the bathing videos fortunately.
Hahaha I totally see in your eyes Luke how thrilled and excited you are about training this girl. I’m so happy for you! Love watching her learn. My favourite is Abra in the pool! Definitely a Maligator! Hope you call it Luke and she joins your family! 🤞🏻
Abra is my favourite. She is so beautiful and elegant and athletic. So comic in her interactions with Kitty Rose too.
Wowee..at around 46 minutes, Abra is fearless....that lone swim was effortless, what a beauty she is! The bond between Luke and Abra is already incredibly strong. I am so happy Abra found you guys..my heart is full of joy.
I wonder how her siblings are faring?
I'm excited for Abra and Luke that they found each other. No matter where this ends up, these are precious moments for both of them. She is so smart and I laughed seeing her snap up the water as she got the courage to go swimming. Cutie Pie, as always, showed her stuff to perfection!
I think they need a channel of just Cutie Pie's underwater bottom swimming away videos.😂🌊🐶
I replayed Abra playing in the water over and over. She was so joyous and fascinated by the water in the air . I was so happy to watch her spontaneous joy playing with the water and having 5:09 fun sharing learning to swim with her new bestie, Luke. You can already see how much she respects him as her new pack leader and seems to be falling in love with Luke as her person.
Luke's understanding of each individual dog's wants & needs is SO impressive! I'm constantly in awe of how well he reads them and then gives them exactly what they need in order to thrive.
A super relationship already. A very bright, very pretty little girl. 🥰💓
Luke and Abra are a lovely Team. Luke is magic.
The dog Whisperer. 😂
Hope and Shadow are definitely Sam's girls. They are just so bonded to Sam it's lovely to see them.
Absolutely.
And if course muss Cutie Pie was brilliant, coming up to mom and dad, not to be out-done by Abra 😂
Everything looks easy when the person doing it is experienced. I was a hairdresser and the amount of haircuts I had to fix because people thought it looked easy! My husband is a painter and he fixes up peoples " how hard can it be" projects. I look at Abra's progress and think wow impressive because of Lukes experience.
Great comment. Reminded me I need to go get my hair fixed from my do it myself attempts 😂
Re: Door boundry
I love how Tilly joined her to show her how it's done.
Yes! Love her!🥰🥰🥰
Abra looks like a 'keeper' .... how could you resist such a smart wee dog. What a joy to train... she's so clever and keen, and has bonded so quickly with Luke. 😊
Her intelligence is off the charts I think. She would be a hand full for a normal trainer. Thank God she has Luke to train her. Abra has brains and beauty.
I was thinking that she will be a foster fail too!
@@ddevito35 I think she might be. But then I think she is capable of saving lives if she had the right owner. She might do better in the long run with a person with no other dogs. She is a working dog.
She will be bigger than Rosco wen she's done growing, she will be beautiful.
@@dulciemargaretcolton145 THAT BIG! I did not know that. Wow...
We had a Malinois/German Shepherd mix that we took on at the age of 4 years from our daughter's friend . We loved him like crazy but he was a handful. So protective of me (using a cane). My husband was doing Agility with him; which he loved. However, if I was watching, as soon as he was off lead he would jump over fencing and charge 120 feet across the area to stand in front of me - between me and the strangers around. It got to the point that I couldn't go to watch, because the dog was focused on me and not what was going on with Agility. He died at 9 years after several cancer surgeries. We miss him.
It seems the other dogs are cheering her on.
I love seeing how excited Luke is...I was just thinking a week or so ago he needed a new challenge now that Chance is now a goodest boy.
Yes, the timing is perfect.
The transformation of Chance is a real miracle.
You know it's an exciting video when Auntie Sam exclaims "Goodness!" multiple times😀
Maggie is getting closer to fish intro and go Lilly. I don't think I have ever seen Lilly jump in the pool. Go Lilly ❤❤❤ Abra you are going so well!! Standing under Roscoe was just the cutest thing - those ears ❤❤❤ not sure Banjo looked that thrilled with the swim. Some do like to be sideline swimmers 😂😂😂
I think Abra is fullfilling a major bucketlist item for Luke.
She is so impressive.
The dogs konked out on the table was hysterical. The relationship between Luke and Abra is so impressive! 🐾💕💕🐾
That shot of her laser focused looking at him while he was eating...lol and it wasn't because she was begging.🤣❤️🐾
@@mortalclown3812 I know LOL, she’s been looking at him like that everywhere! I loved how she was climbing on his back😂
Yes. After so little time together too. Incredible.
This is so so interesting. Abra is certainly demontstaing how smart the breed is. I feel like Luke is getting a well deserved reward for being able to train her and am excited for this wonderful team to work together.
Sam...I just adore that when you are on your bush walks that the doggies always turn to check on you with such love and care on their beautiful faces...
I am finding it very interesting learning about this breed. Abra is a very quick learner and a good looking dog. Love seeing Luke so excited about training her. ❤
I'm going to start calling Cutie Pie "Little Esther Williams". She's a tiny but GREAT swimming movie queen!
She's graceful like Esther as well.
Luke is master of his profession… he is so hyper alert to EVERYTHING that Abra is doing and going to do. So fascinating to observe this training… isn’t it amazing how strong the instinct is in this breed…. 😮 also thanks so much for the depth of explanation you both give to us. I love learning new things… you don’t just talk the talk (woof the woof 😂) you walk the walk ANDyou are both great communicators too….
💯😆❤️❤️❤️
Well said & so true
Could you hear me in the background yelling “C’mon Abra, c’mon Abra, yeah” 😊 lol 😂 😂😂
The excitement Luke has for this dog, almost jumps through my mac screen. And i can understand why. I love Mals, my favourite breed of all time, i have grown up and worked with working dogs all my life. But i would never own a Mal, i know my limits and i would hate to fail any dog. The bonding that is already happening between Luke and Abra, is going to make it very hard to give her up for adoption. I mean, she's absolutely adorable, i've fallen for her already too. The whole farm family is just amazing.
I am soooooo enjoying Abra’s journey with Luke !! It is astonishing to watch. So educational and informative.
Loving the fact that Deisel is coming closer and closer too, and enjoying that human contact. 💙💙💙💙
I would like to see Abra graduate into a professional life outside the Farm. She deserves the chance to blossom.
I am overwhelmed by how beautiful and *smart* Abra is :)
Did you notice how Cutie pie was not going to be excluded from activities with Abra? I haven't seen her swim so much! She wants to be in the pool with Sam, and get in on the action with Luke!
I enjoy watching K9 videos. Until now I never understood why the obsession to get this breed. I totally get it now. The puppy already just sits by Luke's side like a K9 on duty.
I'll be very surprised if Luke will be able to give Abra up after the bond they will have built together, thru training. If you ask me, Luke has fallen head over heels in love, and so has Abra. The feelings will only get stronger as the training proceeds.
Yes, and he didn't give her up. She belongs at the Farm now 😊
Wow... Abra is a quick learner! I am in awe of Luke's abilities with his dogs and how all the pack respond in such a non-reactive way to strange dogs in their presence. Love seeing how much Hope has come along - allowing cuddles from Luke. So heartwarming!!
I sure hope Abra gets picked up by an officer or some specific group that can work with her like she needs. She will be such a great dog for the right person.
Abra was so excited about swimming! I think she was thinking, this is the best job ever!
Luke’s certainly imprinted on Abra, amazing response when she jumped into the pool chasing Luke as he walked away from the pool. She threw herself into the water for fear of losing him - it’s very clear, she’s found her person 🐾🐾🐕🦺🌞
I can’t help thinking how much Dee must enjoy these videos. I have enormous respect for her and her staff and she certainly deserves these bright moments.❤
01:39 Tilly waiting too.
Wow a video posted during the day here in the US!!!!! 😱🤣. Love Abra’s story. This is going to be a great ride. #FarmLove
Perfect timing for us in Kansas City!
🤓😍👍
Not bad here for the UK either....21:00 just before bedtime zzz 😁
Till Till's like what about me I ca do it too.......Love Healers so much.
Luke you know you are not going to be able to let this one go don't you. You are obviously loving training such a clever dog. Made for you.
I am thinking the same thing ,Luke is falling in love with her as much as she is him ,I doubt very much if he can ever let her go .
I was thinking the same thing.
Im hoping the same thing, he deserves it for all the love care and hard work and skill he has put into all the dogs he has saved and given a wonderful life
Watching Abra and Luke, she is a little sponge for training with him. The dock diving/lure is fun to watch. Chance is looking at Abra like, "Uncle Luke why does she get to ride your shoulder and I don't, UH?" "Look Uncle Luke I fits right under Roscoe, for now." Hope is experiencing new things and I see the joy and happiness all over her face and she does the wiggle.
So... Abra, needs a special home so that she can live her best life. Wish I new of one... 😆 🤣
Ha ha Luke "trying to hide it", yeah right, we could all tell how excited you've been. It's exciting for us too.
Thank you Luke for making it clear “ not to get this breed “ what they need is a phenomenal lot of work for a highly intelligent breed .Whilst they are magnificent to watch, their energy is and needs are ongoing. We really appreciate your explanation on breeds. Lots of learning, lots of laughs … THANK YOU . Tilly missed out on a good girl out of that room with Abra 😂😂. She was so gorgeous. 🧡 Cayooootie Pie’s tooshie in the water … can’t deal with the cuteness. Good to hear you both laughing as we were cracking up too . Great vid
Just as our hearts could not be more full watching the promise of Abra - we see Cutie Pie's back end under water and balance happens on the Farm.
I can't stop laughing at Abra trying to catch the water in her mouth... what an amazing and intelligent little girl she is ... I can see why people would want one. I'm so thankful she has Luke to train her to be the beautiful dog she will grow to be ...
Luke , YOU are Abra's CHOSEN one, AND SO IT IS !!! My face literally hurts from smiling. Best video's ever !!!! Thank you for being such outstanding role models and advocates for the LOVE and RESPECT animals deserve. If only more people realized ,what you put in to your fur friends, comes back by100 and their personalities shines so brightly.
She's SO smart - and has already bonded to Luke so quickly!
I love Luke's analogies, really explains things well.
His analogies are always spot on and garner a good chuckle too.
Pink is definitely Hope’s color. She looks beautiful with her pink bandana. I am so overjoyed that she comes in for pars and hugs now. It’s been amazing to watch her transformation. I’m waiting for her to get in the pool herself she’s getting close.
I *LOVE* Luke's comment 'I have tried to hid it a little bit' when he's talking about Abra, but, Luke, we all KNEW from the first video with you and Abra, you are dying to work with her and train her 🙂 We all really want to experience this with you! I'm looking forward to the journey however short or long it may be.
We all saw how sad Luke was when Dee came to retrieve Abra. Luke looked someone stole all his Christmas presents.
Is she your fastest learner? My word what a brilliant pup
This brings back memories of my late cousin who owed Belgian Malinois and how she spent hours training her dogs for tracking and entered them in completions.
I am going to call it 😊 Luke is already so in love with Abra…I predict that madam is going nowhere! Abra Evans 😂🥰 I can see it already…the farm is going to be run by a new security team „FAR“ Freddo, Abra and Roscoe! The Three Amigos!
Its so great to see and hear Luke's excitement in regards to Abra's potential. I giggled so much watching her swimming and biting the water, loving as always Sam's infectious laugh too. Great way to finish my day. Thank you 🧡🧡🧡
I would trust my life with Luke and Sam!❤️
Amen!
This is going to be an amazing adventure for all the Evans, 2 and 4 legged alike. She is absolutely amazing; diving after Luke 2 days in. 😳 That focus and intensity on learning is staggering. It’s like when Joey came but on hyperspeed. The long leans onto Luke’s back and eating the splashes “a la Jeddo” was hilarious. The Pie must show this new upstart who’s boss. 😂 I’m in love with Abra’s ears. The other doggies are such good boys and girls about this new stranger taking up some of Dad’s attention. They say “keep the Maligator’s teeth AWAY please and thank you!” I have watched you teach what feels like hundreds of doggies to swim and I am just in shock at how fast she’s taken to it and DOCK DIVING?!
Chance is noticing all the attention she's getting
When you explained how it could all go so wrong, so quickly, it's really good that the adopters brought her back at 4 months. So interesting to listen to, thank you.
I am so Happy that Luke got his dream dog, I rescued one years ago who had been left abandoned in a trailer & they did not want to call the dog shelter because they knew she would be put down, no rescue stepped up so they contacted me & I was a greyhound rescue but dealt with human aggressive, dog aggressive along with terrified dogs so I could not turn my back. She was a challenge but understood who the top dog was, we had no issues but she did not socialize with my greyhounds & they wanted nothing to do with her. I found someone who knew about the breed & she lived out her life with her family & they said she was the BEST dog they ever had but I could not have let her go with just anyone
The bond between Abra and Luke is already so strong I feel she is the next farm resident .
Yesterday's film where Cutie Pie is showing how it's done in the pool so proud of herself!!! Then the quick move of Tilly showing how it's done coming out the door in the beginning. How adorable!!!!! All your dogs are so smart and their personalities are so worth the time to watch all your You Tubes.
The dogs at lunchtime! Every time the camera moved it would be filled with another dog up close to Luke, Roscoe made me laugh out loud!
Abra is quite something to watch, I think you will have trouble keeping up with her Uncle Luke!
Luke’s excitement over Abra is off the scale! You can certainly see the appeal of these types of dogs! Killer Cutie! Love it! Hope is looking more and more interested in getting in the water ❤❤
Beautiful to watch. I figured out what Abra reminds me of...she is the living incarnation of Anubis, colour, ears, snout, everything.
I thought the very same thing!!
Luke’s quiet demeanour on his first meeting with Abra and his even quieter body language the second time, I just knew he knew that the sky is not limit with this breed and was super keen to get on with her training. This video confirms it all for me. They are both (Abra & Luke), relishing this relationship that will undoubtedly soar to great heights. Luke will challenge Abra, but equally Abra will challenge Luke, in a good way. Whether Abra stays at the Farm or moves on to further her career, who can say, but I’m so looking forward to each day more than anything. 🐾🐾👏👏👏🌟🌟🥰😘😁🤩
Honestly, I think Abra should become a part of your pack. Abra is YOUR CHILD!!! She belongs at The Farm!!! 🤗❤️🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏🐕🐾🐾🐾🐾💖 That’s great that you outrank all the other dogs, Luke!!! 😂😂😂❤️👏👏👏🇨🇦 How ling do you think it will take before she starts playing with other dogs???
I don’t see any other owner for Abra than Luke. She absolutely adores and respects him!
I agree! and gonna say it - and Chance also!!
I think he really hopes to find a great forever home for her - so they can continue to help other pups along the way. But gosh I'm already in love with her & would wonder about how she was no matter what 😆 lol
I wonder if the forces, police, armed etc would be happy to have you foster her till she can be assessed for their use? Then her food board and vet bills would be covered. As the Aunt of a Navy boy, I see her providing protection andintimidation off shore. Hugs WAHx
It seems imminent from what I've seen; preemptively happy for both.
@@wendyhollow1458 She has unfortunately missed out on that opportunity due to her being to old
It was funny that Abra started following Diesel in yesterdays video but then she realized she was too far away from Luke and came back. Good girl Abra.👍🏼🙋🏼♀️
I love hopes progress
An amazing dog
Maggie and hope are my favourites
I like them all but those two are super special
What a fantastic video my friend, I’m proud of you and your team and the pack for looking after Abra bless you and your team and the pack😁🤝
Please be very aware of her security - some people would be very motivated to steal her.
My thoughts exactly from the very beginning. Because they are so valuable. Watch out!!
Yep, just what I've been thinking.....
Stealing from ex armed forces, you must be nuts
They added lots of security last year after a puppy was stolen. The property seems secure with this and all of the security dogs.
@@mariannemilles6199 not nuts just overly cautious - I know they put in security after one puppy was stolen, but there are a lot of determined people out there.
I've been training Bouvier des Flandres for 5 plus decades ..... the Dutch breed great dogs, Mal, DS's etc (I've trained a few) many herding/protection breeds are "mouthy" and they have temperament of what the Old Dutch breeders called "on guarde" ... always looking for trouble in their environment... super smart, often stubborn ... 90 % of what they do is reading body language ... and yea, these breeds will loose respect of a weak handler ... my grandfather and uncle (both breeders) taught me to have a firm, yet loving hand ... and I can tell you, you don't want to get in a pissing match with these breeds when they're young and untrained ... when I get a new dog I am training 24/7 for the first 2-3 years ...as I mentioned in another post a woman, back yard breeder near me in PA was killed by her Mal's .... 4 dogs in the home, one with puppies ... she was rippled to shreds
Roskos face when the GoPro was strapped on had me cackling
First off, it was no secret how excited Luke is to train Abra. I think we all saw it from the moment he met her. Secondly, Abra has already CLAIMED Luke. The End! 😁❤
I have a strong hunch that Abra is about to become Luke's constant companion. They have already created the type of bond that these dogs are ultra famous for. Not to say that Luke cares any the less for his 20 other babies but there is no denying that Abra has brought a new spring into his step and a renewed purpose in him to make Abra the best reflection of her breed. I think she is unofficially an official "farm dog".
Well-stated comments, Christel and Tess!
Absolutely, totally agree. They are both smitten with each other, a pleasure to watch. Xx🙋💓
"Abra has already CLAIMED Luke. The End!" Lol! I don't not agree with you, Christel.
