Bear Had to Go, DON'T Get MAD! 

Daniel I don't think everyone was mad bout you taking Bear to get him spayed/neutered . I think everybody was more upset that you blamed Bear for attacking Earl and you wasn't even sure that he did it. **TeamBear**

I fully support your decision to have Bear neutered.

Daniel, these are your animals and you do as you see fit. People need to remember and respect that. At least you're not getting rid of bear. Prayers for a speedy recovery for Bear and Earl. Be Blessed....🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

There is nothing wrong with getting ANY dog fixed. They live longer, have a better temperament and won't wander away from home and possibly get hurt or killed. Good for you for getting this done. You truly love this dog.

Just know that I wasn't mad about Bear getting neutered. I just don't believe that he was the one who attacked Earl. I believe what your vet said about it being a raccoon.

Healing prayers for Bear and Earl.

Daniel your choice to fix Bear was a good one. I really believe that people are responsible for their own animals and lives. Good to see you and your family as usual. Have a wonderful day.

I sure am glad Bear is still with you. At first I thought you got rid of him. Now that would have made me mad. 😋

I’d rather see him neutered than to have him leave the farm. Hope this works for Bear.

There’s nothing wrong with getting him fixed. It will make your life easier in the long run .

All of my dogs were rescues and spayed or nurtured. It makes for a calmer dog.

I think the consensus of WHY people were upset was more that you really thought Bear actually did it versus Bear jumping in to protect Earl. Not that you were getting him fixed. Bear is a large powerful dog and could kill Earl with one snap. Leads me to agree with your vet and most others. Most people are about spaying and neutering in most cases. I

Getting Bear fixed was a good idea and I was with everyone that said you judged Bear too soon about Earl's attack. I'm on the side that it was a racoon and Bear was coming to Earl's defense.

Getting Bear fixed, is likely one of the best things you could do on the farm. I'm still not convinced that it wasn't a raccoon attack, though.

Honestly getting your dog’s spayed and neutered is actually really responsible to do because it keeps them safe and also it helps to keep puppies from becoming strays and being unwanted

It is never wrong to be a responsible pet owner .

Not upset you got Bear fixed. I think that’s a very responsible thing to do. However, you appear to have judged Bear for something he may NOT have done. Guilty until proven innocent is backwards.

Smart people get their pets spayed and neutered. As a vet tech of 15 years, I know that it is best to spay and neuter the large breed dog at around 9-12 months so that they have those hormones coursing through to support bone and joint growth. Otherwise you can do it around 6-8 months on the smaller breeds. Spaying reduces mammary tumours and neutering reduces testicular cancer. Spayed and neutered pets are happier as well. Generally those that don't spay and especially neuter are usually men who seem to connect their testicles with their pets. You made the right decision!

Bear needs some TLC now. He's a great dog.

You did the RIGHT thing for Bear ! There's WAY too many dogs in the rescues and pounds now. Bears gonna be just fine!! ❤️

I think,if Bear went after him, he would have been far more severely injured.

Praying for Bears speedy recovery and for Earl’s speedy recovery 🙏🏻🐾🐾🐾🐾

So happy to hear you kept Bear. Guilty or not (I favor not guilty). He is loved by his family and all will be well. I'm so glad that all your pets are safe and in very good hands. God bless your family.

Our animals are our kids and people should remember that it’s good to see that they are loved and well taken care of.👍🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸

I didn’t see many comments about neutering but many many , me included coming to Bears defense . Heck ! Even if you go back and look at your own video of Bear getting attacked by the coon you can see it went right for his face exactly where Bears bites were this time. My brother hunts Walker coonhounds I’ve seen what and how coons attack. I am a supporter of spaying and neutering dogs and cats. I love y’all and all your critters but if I was on the jury in Bears trial , with the evidence provided and the vets testimony my verdict is innocent for Bear!!!

From my experience in coon hunting and what they can do to dogs without a vest on is just like what happened to Earl. You need to Neuter Earl there are already too many breeders in the world with not enough homes for all the puppies. It's not fair to bear. Also, think about, which dog is a constructive member of the family? Bear is as he protects your animals. Earl is just a family pet with no work ethic. Not fair to bear, they should both be neutered. Emotions should never take over logic. What if earl attacked bear? He is a rambunctious dog with animals. Bear was gentle with the wild piglet that got loose from the trap and held it down while Earl was going crazy. I'm on team Bear. My working animals come before any of my other dogs, They're family too.

Sir, you are doing the right thing for your pets. And like Chad of Adler Farms says, "This is your farm, to do what you want and need to do"!

Daniel Ithink you and DJ made the right decision for your family and for Bear. I love that dog. I am happy that you are getting heat and a/c in your shop. Earl is looking better. He'll be all healed up before you know it. Great video as always. See you in the next video. God bless you, your family and all the critters. Hello from Kentucky.

Daniel...I almost unsubscribed with the video title. Whew! I think you did the right thing, it's not cruel at all. My home just loves Bear, he is so special. ❤

Having Bear neutered was the kindest thing you could've done for him. Now once he is neutered, it takes about a month for the hormones to stop raging, so it is wise to keep him in a fenced yard or somewhere restricted for his own safety. Your vet should have explained that, which I am sure they did. I also loved your man cave is getting the "Daniel touch"!! Every man or woman should have a room they can call their own, if anything, just to be creative. Me, I use my huge walking closet. My son and DIL have the basement set up really nice and bought an easy chair just for me when we decide to watch movies or TV together. Your workshop is a really cool size, putting your mounts up is wonderful to see the generation carrying on the hunting tradition. Please post pictures when you have it all done. You're a wonderful family, based first in the Holy Trinity, get on well with your in-laws (Dusty and family ar Cross Timbers Bison), and help the community (and thank you for your years as a Oklahoma State Trooper. My husband worked as an outside consultant for the Los Angeles County Sheriff and before that the Macomb County, Michigan Sheriff Office as a teen liaison officer. He passed unexpectedly on August 19th, 2008.) It is very heartening to see folks, like yourselves speak openly about your faith, never heard a cuss word part your lips, have 3 wonderful and very respectful kids, and do much more. God says to turn other cheek, and doing what is right for Bear will be the best for him in the long run Daniel, thank you. Keep bringing us your vlogs and keep working in the Lord.

Glad you got him fixed. Hopefully everyone will be happy together now.

I’m glad you neutered Bear, he’s such a beautiful dog! He won’t have the desire to run off and make puppies either.

I remember when Bear got out and made Whoopie with the neighbor’s dog. I think you had in lockdown for several weeks. Fixing him is a good idea. Glad he gets to stay in his home.

You are being a responsible dog owner. Getting Bear fixed is a good thing. People just like to argue and point fingers. You do what is right for your family. I am happy to see you get the heater in your shop. You work all year long and it will be nice to do it in comfort.

Thank you for getting Bear fixed. He can still have a really good life without those balls.

No problem with fixing Bear. Can’t always make everyone happy.

Aww, Earl is a brave little soldier, trying to walk & wag despite painful injuries. Of course you are right Daniel, that getting both male & female pets fixed is best for everyone.

Daniel, i have so enjoyed watching your channel for years and i use to pray for your safety back in the day when you were a patrolman. I have learned so much about gardening and even raising animals from you. You have such a beautiful family. i will always continue to watch and learn from you. With that said, this is just my opinion and i don't mean any disrespect at all. When you first posted about Earl getting attached and was explaining what YOU thought had happened, for the first time since quitting law enforcement i seen that side of you again. You immediately judged Bear, just like some cops do. You said several times that Bear acted guilty. What i seem was Bear reacting to your tone and he was being very submissive as of way of not making you angry. If Bear and Earl had had issues with each other a few times before it seems maybe you missed you window to have prevented this from happening. However if you had separated Bear and Earl ya'll might have came home and found poor little Earl dead. I have yet to see you own up to your part of Earl getting hurt. I have heard you mention lots of wild animals on your property and we have seen videos of such. Maybe Earl should have been put inside while ya'll were gone for his on safety. Bear, being a GUARD DOG, maybe for him that meant guarding and protecting Earl as well. I am in agreement with others that think it was raccoons that attacked Earl and Bear came running to help. If Bear heard them fighting then naturally his instinct is to protect what's on his property and he got bit in the process. I am in agreement of getting him fixed but maybe just consider my thoughts. Blessing to your and your family and may GOD continue to bless you sir.

Daniel your action speaks louder then words. You are a good man and God knows that 🙏. Bear is in good hands. Thank God for you and your family. Doing what's right.

I fee l that bear got blamed for something that wasn't entirely his fault because in my experience with animals and dogs almost 90% of the time is the small dogs the ones that start the trouble in the pack you know ( Napoleon sindrom or complex ) alfa male staff

I believe you did the best for Bear. He is a great dog. Hang in there Earl.

Glad bear did well from his surgery

You are doing the right thing getting Bear fixed for every single reason you and the Vet said. You gave many scenarios as to what may have happened. Whether Bear was protecting or showing his dominance, it doesn't matter. It's just safer for the kids as he gets older and last I heard you know your dogs more than anyone's opinion. Prayers for both 🙏 and have a blessed evening knowing you're doing what's right all the way around 🙏 💜😊⚘

I think that you did the right thing with Bear. It didn't hurt his dog hood it just means he can't make puppies. Those that complain about Bear being fix should think about how many unwanted puppies and kittens there is in the world. My feeling about Bear is that I don't think he attack Earl I think he was protecting him from a wild animal but who knows for sure. God bless you take care.

Daniel getting bear fixed is the best thing for him!

When I lived in Irasburg Vt. our dog ran into a porcupine. Our neighbor pulled out the quills. It was terrible. We were originally from Deal, NJ and never saw a porcupine before. My father put the porcupine to rest.

I'm new to your channel but I do have a comment. I have a feist dog who is about 2 years old. He was attacked recently while we were walking. It broke his spirit for a few days. My heart goes out for your dog, his attack was severe. Glad he is doing better, enjoying your channel. Lorraine from North Carolina.

When I saw the title ....DON 'T GET MAD! i STARTED GETTING MAD because I thought you gave him away. I had to jump ahead to find what you said. WHEW, I was so relieved! Good for you Daniel. Bear is my favorite animal on your farm.

You did the right thing having Bear neutered. Good to see Earl up and around. Please do the right thing and get Earl neutered too. When you have an emotional video, you get all sorts of emotional and maybe crazy comments. You handled it well.

God bless you for doing what had to be done without putting him down .

It was nice and a little sad to see Bella. I haven't been a subscriber for very long,but I am a dog lover and fell in love with Bella as well as your other dogs and animals in general. I went through losing my dog of 15 years just over a year ago,so I know what you are going through. It's nice to have visual memories to look back on. God Bless you all!

I’m glad you got him fixed and trying to give him another chance.

Much love to your babies recovering from surgery!!! Bear looks pitiful just coming out of anesthesia! Bless his heart! Both he and the other precious baby! They have both had a tough week of surgery’s!

Big hugs to Bear.

I will weigh in on neutering an older male. Mine was a cat. One evening after my Tuxedo boy was neutered, another male cat entered my yard. JayDee was minding his business until the intruder started growling and crouching. My boy crouched, growled back and prepared for the melee. He was not fazed and knew exactly how to respond to defend his territory. I can see where you are coming from in your concerns, and you know how to investigate things. I think of the Vet’s input as a bit more forensic. Thus, inclined to agree with the Vet about the raccoon. Praying for Earl’s cont’d recovery and for Bear too.

Having ur dogs fixed. Thank you, thank you

I didn't think most were mad at getting Bear fixed. I thought it was more of a feeling that you blamed him without real proof and were worried that you were getting rid of him. Also, a few felt you should get both dogs fixed. (I'm the one that made that fight comment...purely as a joke!)

Just a suggestion... Outdoor Wood Furnace which could help heat the home and shop! Dairy farm in my town has one and it heats the home, farm store, and barn. They have been very happy with it and saved on their oil bill too! as for your furbabies situation, I think you handled it the way your family seems to handle life as it comes... you assist, you communicate, you pray, and you act! Your furbabies are going to be just fine with the love and support of their family! Stay Safe, Stay Blessed... 🚜

Glad both pups are recovering.

Getting BOTH males fixed is best. Don't breed earl just to breed him. So many dogs with no homes it's reckless just to breed to breed.

Oh sheesh! you scared me with the title, like other viewers had said, I dont think others were upset about desexing... we were worried about Bear being taken away. Im glad Bear isnt going away, and you are definitely are doing what is right for You, your family, and especially Bear. And your neighbours will thank you for your decision too haha

You've been playing the best music lately! I never get to hear blues anymore. Thank You!

Happy to hear Earl and Bear are both doing well

Bella seems like the most loyal, loving dog ever! She seems to just beg for attention and love.

Daniel I've been watching you for years. Your a wonderful man and pet owner. Good for you getting bear neutered. Glad Earl is getting better as well. Blessings🙏🏽

Oh Daniel you definatley tricked me 🤣🤣. I was actually churning up some anger vibes thinking you put Bear down. I should have known. ❤ Thank you for being the man that you are the world needs a whole lot more like you. Love you guys!

Your did what was good for Bear. He will be fine. Enjoyed the video.

Actually it isn't anybodies business but you and DJay's. Getting him fixed is good 'cause it gives him more freedom.

It was more you blamed him not just that you were having him neutered.

Make yourself a room for yourself as large as you can. Hang up your stuff. Go for it Daniel. You need it. Love from MI

Why did Bear have to stay in the trailer? I have never heard of that. Wow you all do things that don’t make sense. I have never left my dogs outside. My dogs have always came back to a warm home and lots of LOVE. Bear you are beautiful and precious!! I hope Earl will have some physical therapy for his leg. I am very happy that he is doing well. All animals are precious and should be safe and loved ALWAYS. 💜💜.

Glad you’re getting Bear fixed rather then rehoming him or worse. I hope and pray it all works out.❤️🙏

Well when I read the title, "Bear Had to Go" I got mad right away, but finding out he just went to get neutered, I felt better. Hopefully it does help his aggression and you don't have to send him away. He is such a beauty!!!

Enjoyed today's vlog. Nice to see the trails and glad you will have heat in the shop. Glad Bear is recovering and Earl too.

I'm glad he's been neutered 💖 I don't believe it was bear though I think bear protected earl from something

Daniel, You're doing a great job of taking care of 'Your Business' your way! Thank you for sharing a tiny bit of your life with us.

It is good you had Bear fixed. But I still think it was a raccoon that did this. Put a trail cam on where the Earl food was. and see if you have a raccoons visiting. They will be back. They could attack any people as well for the food.

Best wishes for complete recovery for both dogs. You've got quite a hunting collection. Thanks for sharing.

Glad Bear and Earl are doing well and that the kids got a nap. Enjoyed the vid.

So glad you fixed Bear! He’s such an amazing boy! ♥️ Don’t know why so many people got angry about fixing him, fixing dogs is definitely the responsible thing to do! Obviously those people haven’t been to a shelter or have seen so many dogs including pregnant & due mama dogs put down. So glad you did it! ♥️🙌🏻

Getting Bear neutered is being a responsible pet owner, and given the fact that he is a working dog should not make a difference. I pray that Earl doesn't have any other encounters with whatever it was that got hold of him.

Getting Bear fixed was a responsible thing to do!!!

I am glad you are getting him fixed. You can't allow him to suffer. You are right!

My pitsky is getting neutered at a year old and I applaud u on ur decision!!! Much love to bear during his recovery

No one was likes click bait...please don't do that Daniel. Hop Bear is doing well as well as Earl.

Hey Daniel nice a little of this and that video thats what keeps it fresh. We always had our dogs spayed and neutered as well as our cats its for the best. I'm glad to see Earl is doing better the more he tries to walk on that leg the better he will be he has to build up his strength. So what's next for AFH keep up the good work and see you in the next video💞🐕😉

To grow more grass you need to pump more water in the paddocks. You can use solar pumps, free electricity. All those leafs make good compost to sale.

We are going to get our male dog fixed next month. So don’t worry about what other people say. You have to do what is best for you and your family

I was worried what I was going hear about Bear. I'm so glad he is getting a chance to still be home, although a little bit out of sorts for a while..

Glad you can get heat to your shop, my husband put in a wood stove and that was his happy place making things. Here in Canada we have light until 10 pm in the summer. Now in winter about 4:30 it is getting dark. glad earl is feeling better and that Bear in on the mend and will soon be back to his happy self. Blessings.🇨🇦

There is absolutely nothing wrong with neutering Bear or any male dog, that is the responsible thing to do! Good on you Daniel!👍🏻

Good job getting Bear fixed! Shows how much u care for him!

I remember when Bear went visiting. He's your dog and that decision is your business and not all those Naysayers. Prayers for Bear and Earl. You'll enjoy having central heating and cooling in your shop. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

Arms family you are doing the right and responsible thing by spay and neutering your animals. People that don't understand that are the problem that there are so many unwanted and abused animals. So cudos to you guys for doing the right thing!

I am glad Earl and Bear are both recovering well. It is for the best. My uncle had a dof that impregnated a neighbors "prized pomeranian" and the owners threw a fit that their dog was "tainted" by another breed of puppies. They threatened court if he didn't help with vet bills and selling the pups. So it's understandable to fix a free roaming dog like Bear. Congrats on your heating/cooling system, that's going to be a game changer in those hot summer months when you want to work on a project in the shop.

Better to have him fixed. Earl will cause problems with Bear if you dont fix him too. Hundreds of dogs and puppies out there..being put down.. that need good homes.

Daniel, I think it’s great that all your subscribers are so passionate about Bear.

Awe Bear will be fine. We always have our furbabies fixed. It's better for there health in the years to come. Yall doing a great job. Place is looking good. I laughed when I say the kids after school. Especially Houston. God bless. Watching from Alabama.

I am glad you are getting him fixed!! His way he won't wander off!! Plus he's your dog you know what you want to do!!

Daniel, we need your great playlist to go with the videos!
