April 02, 2024 Ep. 72: Can all breeds be stockdogs? (Terry Parrish)
Have you ever wondered why tee ball and little league and slow pitch softball exist in a world where there’s Major League Baseball? Of course you haven’t. We all know those low-level sports are valuable for players even though they’re not the best of the best, and everybody has to start somewhere. So why would we dismiss dogs and handlers who play in the herding minor leagues? Welcome to Farm Dog.

Imagine an early livestock guardian dog, laying out under the stars thousands of years ago, next to a band of sheep and goats somewhere in what is now Turkey. He sniffs the air and peers into the moonlit night searching for threats as his shepherd snores, and he thinks, “If only this bozo had Zoom and Cindy Benson, we might just understand each other.” Welcome to Farm Dog.
