Welcome back to the old Fashioned On Purpose Podcast. Today's topic is one we have never

covered here on the show and I'm really excited about it because this is

actually a topic I really see or at least I have thought of it as

applying more to ranchers and we're going to bring it into the world of homesteading today

and the topic is working dogs. It's a little bit of a point of

embarrassment for me maybe because I actually own a number of dogs, a couple

dogs who are of working breeds.

And so sometimes when people see me,

they're like, oh, you have working dogs.

And I'm like, yeah, I do.

But the dogs do not work.

They are pets.

They are completely useless for anything job-wise.

So I'm excited to talk to someone who knows working dogs inside and out today.

And she is a homesteader. Her name is Jordan Kelly and her and her husband Josh

raised Australian Shepherds on their property outside of Dunn,

North Carolina.

I've had the honor of meeting Jordan and Josh

several times at homesteading events. They're

awesome people and they are a wealth of information. So they use their dogs daily to

help rotationally graze their livestock, they do hurting demonstrations, they just have so much to share and I can't wait for you to dive into this interview with me today. So welcome Jordan.

Thanks for having me.
