Farm Bureau Selects Farm Dog of the Year

Recognizing the vital role that dogs often play on family farms and ranches, Farm Bureau launched the Farm Dog of the Year contest several years ago, which is now a popular feature of the American Farm Bureau’s National Convention.

The winner of this year’s award is Max, a four-year-old Border Collie owned by John, Charla, and Brynley from Enns, OK

AFBF, with support from Nestle, picked Max as the winner from among almost 100 entries.

Max fills a number of roles on the farm, but his primary occupation is herding cattle.  His assistance is valuable for John, who’s disabled and uses a mobility scooter. 

“I can’t imagine doing this without Max,” John said. “Max is not only a working dog, but also great with the family.”

After a long day of herding boisterous cattle on mostly hilly terrain, Max often accompanies John and Charla to pick up daughter Brynley from school.
