These little dogs aren't the first thing you think of when you hear "farm dogs" but it is amazing at what they can do. 

We found these dogs at the end of our road on the coldest day of the year. They were only seven weeks old so we brought them home so that they wouldn't freeze to death. We didn't really plan on keeping them at first but it has been over four years now and we are glad that we kept them.

On our homestead we have a rule that if we cannot benefit from the animal it has no home here.  The other day this guy killed a possum all by himself. They have also chased off foxes and killed countless  moles and mice. They have also killed some adult birds. I have no clue how they pull that one off but every so often there is a dead bird in the yard.

They also dig holes and lay on peoples jackets but they also earn their keep.
