Dogs are essential to life on a farm. They guard over livestock, are protective over their territory, in addition to being able to heard or corral. This makes the farmer’s job a bit easier. They do not have to worry as much over intruders, whether it be beast or human. They also do not have to work as hard when they want to gather their cattle, sheep, pigs, etc. Dogs make great pets. Most of ours are seen as extended family members. However, the best farm dog we ever had was a Rottweiler-hound mix. Her name was Black Bird, but we called her Birdy for short. She saved us from multiple coyote and snake attacks. When my sister and I used to go outside to play she would sit close by and watch over us to make sure nothing went wrong. I loved her to death and we haven’t had a dog since be as great as she was. According to Paw Nation, there are many other well suited farm dog breeds. However, the Rottweiler-hound will forever be my family’s favorite.
