Here's the story...
Wife and I live alone in the boondocks, on a small 25 acre farm.
My house is 1/4 mile off the highway. We are prepped .
We have had many different breeds of dogs over the years.
Most were great dogs, but almost every one of them dug craters in my yard, which is a hillside, which runs gulley's .
I want a dog that will love the freedom of the farm, sleep on the front porch, a great outside companion, hangout with me in the garage and shop.
Play well with the kids, be standoffish to strangers. Alert me if anybody comes up to the house.
But , will not dig holes big enough to bury a Volkswagen , which takes months to repair . Haul dirt , seed , fertilize, straw. Just too hard to do anymore.
Am I asking the impossible?
We have had Aussies, Great Pyrenes, German Shepherd, Malemute, Hounds, Terriers.
Beagles, and probably missing a few.
Opinions.
