I also got my farm dog. He’s a rough collie named Sampson. We got him as a puppy but he’s already huge.

welcome back @Hillaire, your oberhalsi's are just beautiful. I've always thought they were such elegant looking animals. and the nigies are cuties too. you are going to love having Sampson as a farm dog. we always had collies when I was growing up and they sure took care of all us kids. @frustratedearthmother and I both have English shepherds, who are first cousins to a collie, and we both love them to death. my girl JJ is absolutely the best farm dog I've ever had and I've had some darn good dogs over the past 60 years. she never misses a thing that is out of place or strange to her, she helps me with the sheep and goats and warns me of snakes around here. she saved me from being bitten by a copperhead last fall and got bitten in the process. this year she is a lot smarter about how close she gets to them. the also won't let anyone come into my yard unless I tell her its ok.
again congrats on all the new animals and also congratulations on your nuptials. marriage is hard work but I know you're up to it.

I also had rough collies growing up - awesome farm dogs! My English Shepherd, like @goatgurl mentioned is indispensable! They are so versatile. She bagged herself a big ol' possum earlier this week. I posted the pic over on another thread on this forum: Cowboy and Friends
