It is a rare horse barn indeed that doesn’t have a least one “barn dog”. Over the years certain breeds have come to be particularly associated with horses. Hunting and herding dogs have a long tradition of being coupled with horses in a working relationship, as well as vermin catching terrier types.

A few breeds stand out when we think horses and dogs. It’s not so much breed that matters, as temperament. Most barns get a certain amount of visitor traffic, so the barn dog should be non-aggressive, especially around children. But traditionally the barn dog is a useful canine, earning his keep in such capacities as herding, hunting or controlling vermin populations.

However, there are many other breeds that are just considered to be the “most common breeds” and they’ve made their way into our barns and our hearts as well. For this reason, we’ve included some informational, nutritional and educational videos for those horse lovers who are also dog lovers!
