The greatest breed for a barn dog is a Great Pyrenees. They love all animals and are natural born guardians. Mine treed a bobcat in the barn.

Every time the farrier comes, he brings his cute little Welsh Corgie, Bailey. She will do anything to play fetch! You could throw a stick as far and high as you could and she’ll do a run and jump and catch it almost every time! Sadly you have to limit her play because she has hip issues.

Oh my… Barn Dog… My barn’s Barn dog is Mo. Mo is a great-dane and alot of other breeds mix. Hes such a mess. My favorite story of him took place last summer. It was a very hot day and me and my trainer were sitting under a tree, watching a girl ride. There was a bucket full of water for the horse. Mo walkes over, takes a lick from the bucket and puts all for of his legs in! You can imagine a big puppy, in a small 18 gallon bucket!! I fell back in my chair i was laughing so hard!

We own 3 horses on our property and I have a dog, Pogo, a JRT who loves the horses, he will go out by them, roll in their poop, splash around in their water trough, and run around with them, all the while having this crazy I’m-having-so-much-fun-and-you-can’t-do-anything-about-it look!

I have always had Boxers with the horses, and it seems that they have a knack for trying to “fit in”. Every one of them, as soon as they get near a grazing horse, they feel they have to graze too. Our youngest was just recently grazing and “chilling” with my mare as she was out grazing in the shade. Seems they make great horse pals :).

While visiting my BBBF, we headed down to the pasture. We brought my pup, Rody, & her pup, Duke. Duke is always cased (playfully) my her horse, Maia.Maia was really truckin’ & all the sudden, Rody, who isn’t used to “wild” horses, runs to the house, & never goes into their pasture again!

I used to work at a barn where dogs were allowed. My boyfriend and I had just recently adopted a rescue who was a lab/beagle mix. Penelope was a little black dog (full grown at 50lbs), but seemed to not realize how much bigger the horses were than her. One day I couldn’t find her and turned out she had made friends with a black Holstiner gelding in our barn named Manhattan. The two of them would hang out together all day. To this day I’m not sure if Penelope thought Manhattan was a really big dog, or if Manhattan thought Penelope was a really small horse.

Our barn dog brings so much character to the barn. He is huge, but is very gentle around the kids but still has plenty of personality. He goes to shows and wears a little “back pack” sporting our barn logo and colors, and we attach ribbons to it. He looks so proud showing off “his” winnings!
