These two brothers sure enjoy each other’s company. They play hard outside and then sleep hard in the office A/C on dog beds during the day.

Archie (on the left) was not liking this sitting for a picture. Apollo was a good boy and sat and stayed with good eye contact. I think Apollo has had some productive time learning his commands and holding them.

Here are pictures of 4 of our pups that came home to us for various reasons - none were the dog’s issues. We are very pleased that the people cared about their dogs to bring them back to us to have a good home - thank you!

Jazzy went to her home at 8 weeks and came back ~ a year later. She is lying down close to the goat in the back. She had almost no time with livestock.

Misty and Blu were 2 girls that went to their home at about 3 months of age. They had spent 1 month with our goats.

Salim went to his home with his brother at 6 months of age. He had the basic training and looked after sheep at his new home.

When they came back to us we were unsure of their attitude toward livestock.

Last week I moved the male breeding goats to another field. Three of them did not want to go. I therefore decided that they were volunteering to be the testing goats for these 4 dogs.

They have spent several months in the field next to the goats.

Well, a week later all is great. The dogs and goats get along just fine. They can be together in the field, under the barn roof, or at the water trough.

This is great for us and for the dogs. We have more options to mix and match livestock and dogs. More goats that can have the excellent protection of the Kangals.

Again the Kangals excel.

The yard dog cooling bowl. Generally they are in the a/c with me during the day. The younger dobermans get out and rough house around. They head to the cooling bowl and do this during the day.

In the tropics have a large enough water bowl for them to get into is critical to stave off heat stroke.

Nothing more vividly says I am the leader of the pack without a growl, or show of teeth.

When I work programming - about 6 hours a day - I have limited leg room, but my feet get to feel a nice ‘bear’ rug.

Waylon, our semi-retired Anatolian Shepherd Dog likes the AC as much as I do.

Here is a 6 year old Kangal male that came from our second litter. He is a very big boy. He lives on a farm in Belize. He has guarded goats and sheep.

This boy has a lot of his dad in him. Watch him as he walks over. Look at his tail wagging, his head held high and moving side to side a bit and a big smile.

This is his happy to see you greeting. This is exactly like his father’s happy greeting.

Notice as well how he came on ‘command’. He heard the request, considered it, and thought - for sure I will come.

This time of year the sunset is much later than the southern hemisphere.

In this picture the sun has already set at the southern tip of South America as well at the eastern tip of Brazil.

The UK is in the evening.

The wave shaped dark area clearly shows the start of night.

The cloud cover around the world is displayed, as well as the location of the International Space Station, the Sun (east of BAHA) and the moon - south of India. (sorry I cut off the right side of my screen).

When hurricanes / cyclones are active I can watch them progress.

This is good information to have for the farm.

Whether there are 7 eating together or all 17, this is their behavior. This is the behaviour all our dogs are taught to have from 5 weeks of age. Calm and orderly is how we can have these giant guardian dogs together.

Notice Penny and Hondo (as usual) are done first. She does not try to take food from anyone else’s dish. They will check out other dishes once the dog has left it.

These are their eating manners.

Friday night we got 1 3/4” of rain - wow blessed. In the tropics rain does not mean a cool day like it does in Alberta. In the tropics it means getting wet and the sweat does not evaporate to cool one off.

Saturday morning heading down to two pastures to feed the dogs this morning. As always they enjoy greeting us, eating, and belly rubs and pets. Then off to work they go.

I have been posting wildlife that our dogs may meet while patrolling the property. Not far from our farm, 2 Rottweilers, and a German Shepherd ( not our dogs) were exploring down by the river. They came across an Africanized Bee hive. As is the case with these bees they go all in to expel something they perceive as a threat. Sadly all three dogs were killed by the bees 😭.

We have had bees like these on the farm two. I have been swarmed twice while cutting bush with the tractor. I was pleased I was on the tractor. It went faster than I could have run (and it didn’t trip and fall) , and I could swat and kill bees as they stung me. It is not a good experience to be stung > 50 times.

Fortunately the goats keep things trimmed down well, and the bees have not set up a home where the Kangals patrol.

At this time of the year the insects seem to be stressed out with less food. The fire ants and Africanized bees are very nasty right now.
