Hello, I am looking to purchase a dog essentially for my farm, but what worries me is that I will have to be away for 10-15 days a month and the dog would be left in the care of workers at the farm. will the dog still be faithful and loyal towards me
That is a good question, and my answer is - that depends on the dog, and also the farm workers. There are some dogs that are very independent and dogs that are very needy. What matters most is the level of bonding you have while you are home and the attention the pup will get from the farm workers. If the dog gets significant time and attention while you are home, but not while you are away, that might be hard and lead to behavior problems and acting out.. If plenty of affection and attention is given by the farm hands, then my guess is your pup will be happy and loyal when you come home, and the farm hands will become part of the family.

I want to get Brandy a wormer that treats all worms because she lives on a farm and may be at risk from the exposure of farm animals. Which wormer would you recommend. I want to also use natural worming remedies too like garlic, seeds etc. Thank you
When selecting a worker look for he words "broad spectrum" this will mean that all types are covered for Brandy. You will want to treat her a few times a year. www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=35694 I have not found the natural remedies to be very effective I must say.

I recommend a Great Pyrenees or other livestock guardian dog. They learn the farm boundaries and the animals and people in the household and stay around to protect everything. They are gentle and prefer to live outside. They will become protective if one of their ‘family’ is in danger only. Many breeds, as you are aware, are more hunting oriented and will take off and follow a scent or go exploring when they want. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you get answers to your veterinary questions.

What’s the best breed of dog to get? I want another dog but want a different breed from the ones I already have id like a dog that can live outdoors both summer and winter not harm sheep or goats or horses and respect the boundaries of the farm and n
I would look into a guardian or herding breed such as a Great Pyrenees or other type of shepherd. Often, these dogs are bred to spend their entire time guarding flocks with little human interaction, and do well living outdoors among the herd. Speaking with local breeders in your area that raising working stock may help you get a better idea about these dogs and see if they are right for you.

Based on your desires I would recommend a Labrador or Golden retriever. They are eager to please dogs and so easier to train than huskies or hounds and tend to stay close. They also have less of a prey drive than some of the other breeds so less of a risk to your other pets though every dog can be different, I had labs growing up with rabbits and birds and little creatures and they did not harm them.
