Nothing on this homestead runs without the dogs. They move the animals, watch the fence line, and
announce every visitor long before we see one.
They are working dogs with real jobs — not pets with a farm in the background. You will meet them in
almost every video we publish.
The animals and the veld they work are part of every story we tell. See them on
Wildfarm Homestead on YouTube.
Akito — “Big Boy”
A Rottweiler with a job. He is the weight and the warning: he holds a gate, backs up the fence line, and lets you know about a vehicle two hundred metres before you hear it. On a farm with livestock, that is not a personality trait — it is the security system.
Glenda
A Border Collie, which means she is faster than the decision she is making. She works the animals, reads a gap in a fence before we do, and treats the water trough as a spa. Watch her in the videos and you will see the actual farm work happening at her speed, not ours.
