How the Farm Started

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ค. 2020
- Our very first few months. We started the farm back in March 2017, and a lot has happened since then. Luke and I are those crazy people that like to work 7 days a week cramming a lot in over a short period of time. Fairly certain they call those people crazy. Anyway, this video shows what the farm looked like back then, what dogs were there on our first day. There’s a few of our dear friends in here who we’ve sadly lost too over the years. RIP beautiful Flo, Jack, Zara and our dear boy Wallace. Elle was just a baby back then, who grew up with the pack, in amongst it every day as the pack was much smaller than it is today. She adored her time with the dogs. Back then our pools were cattle troughs and our dam was a puddle! Our own girl Tilly the Red Heeler was not our own back then, she belonged to a beautiful lady named Roxy. Tilly used to come to the farm regularly. Roxy sadly passed away from cancer but not before she asked us to take Tilly. Tilly has been a part of our family living the farm life ever since. There’s also Ruarí the Wheaten’s first day in here, and also the very first time we caught Bandit on camera refusing to go home. He’s refused every day since! There’s Bruce as a 6 month old puppy and Billy our now big billy goat just one week old back then living in our kitchen pantry and being bottle fed because his mum rejected him. We hope you enjoy seeing where the farm began, we have truly enjoyed creating it.

Oh my god Bandit is so young here, just started watching last year. So cool seeing how it all started
Wow, it is amazing to see what you have built and accomplished in only 4.5 years! It is a real testament to your drive, your work ethic and and your love of these dogs.
Well said - isn't it just - what a huge achievement.
Why do I ball my eyes out each time I watch any of your doggy day care videos? Heaven on earth.
I loved seeing a younger Bandit and Tilly. Of course Charlie and Wallace too❤️❤️
Bandit and the blue collar!!!!
He and our two lovely lil gals have grown up together.
What a team/"pack" !!
Bandit's family must be so proud of his countless fans rooting for him as they do for his Uncle Luke and Aunty Sam. Bandit, you're a rock ⭐.
👌🌹👌❤👌🌹👌❤👌🌹
Even though I’m in Canada, I’d still like to thank you for your service, Luke 🥰
Doesn’t matter the country, all military personnel, past, present and future are to be respected and applauded for their service, and sometimes, sacrifice.
I’m so glad the dogs saved your life - a feeling I’m sure is echoed by your many, many followers, not to mention your beautiful wife, Sam and cutie little girls🥰
Everyone is going through something, and your videos provide such a bright spot filled with love, joy, trust, laughter, and yes, some tears...be they happy or sad🤗
Godspeed and thank you, from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, that is so very kind of you
Yes, I couldn't have said it any better - I am sure I saw this when I joined this wonderful channel a year ago but it feels even more relevant a year plus down the line.
Sam and Luke you are amazing people - it is a shear pleasure to be able to follow you on this incredible journey - thank you.
I agree...beautifully said.
Couldn't have said it better!
Going back and watching all your videos for the 2nd.and sometimes 3rd. times. Best way to start my day. I wonder if you folks ever knew what a wonderful gift you were giving to so many people. Thank you all from Pennsylvania. 10/17/2021
Well said - it truly is a wonderful gift.
This is entertainment for the animal loving soul ❤️❤️👍
Ditto that. Am back again, =2023! Love popping back to rewatch the beginnings. Love & thanks to all at The Farm.💋😁💕
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this video. I have watched it many, many times. I can NEVER get tired of it. 🐾❤🐾❤🐾❤🐾❤🐾❤🐾❤🐾❤🐾❤
Nor me.
You are so kind
Thanks so much Sam for releasing this 'beginnings' video. Much appreciated and loved. Love from Ohio 🌄❤️
Why am I crying? I loved seeing the beginning and how far you all have come. And bandit. Real love. If you doubt a dog’s ability to love and know what’s going on , watch bandit and Luke’s relationship. And the girls so young. And Sam still so beautiful. Thank you for the memory.
……..and the rest was Doggy history. 2021….and thriving as THE doggy paradise on earth. 🥰🥰🥰
A beautiful Beginning!! If I may say, I love you all ,Thank You for being a Friend !! Dear ELLE so small . Billy so young to !! I enjoyed this video very much I enjoy them all !!! ❤❤❤❤❤
How much things have changed . Luke and Sam deserve all the rewards .Well done.
Love seeing how it all started 😍BEST channel on TH-cam!!!
Bandit loved Luke even then. Ellie is so precious, she helping Daddy take care of the doggies. Great video. You & your team have worked so hard. Funny at the end how Bandit doesn't want to go home. Something's never change❤️❤️.
Awesome to see how the farm began. Sweet Bandit! Just love this dog!!!
I really enjoyed the walk down memory lane. I love hearing the back stories, such as how Tilley became part of the family. What a beautiful act of kindness. I'm sure Roxy was able to end her life's journey with peace knowing her baby was well taken care of.
What a treasure video.
It was so interesting to see the origin.
It was great to see the beginning and where you are today. Congratulations on all the accomplishments. Every dog through your gates is in a special place.
you hit the nail on the head - well said-
Wonderful trip down memory lane...some familiar precious faces!!!
Hi to everyone who has just found Luke and Sam who started the doggy daycare farm, you will be amazed and cry buckets. Their dedication is untouched for many fur babes and dogs who are in their care. In the last few months that i have been watching I have seen incredible changes in all the dogs, and have loved everyday popping in to see joy and unfortunately 1 pup passing this Sunday love and bless him. Also shocked that someone stole a pup I prayed for his return. I thank Luke Sam and all the team for their hard work, all the the very best from England.
I've watched every one of your videos, some multiple times, having recently discovered your channel. I watch mostly with tears 😭. Some from the pups who are no longer with us. (condolences on Wal's passing) some from seeing the absolute joy all your dogs display. I've had dogs all my life, currently living with a gsp and a Vizsla, 11 and 12. You have inspired me to enrich their lives just a little more. They have more enrichment than most to be fair, as we live on 160 acres with creeks, dams and lots of animals, but a little more won't hurt. 👍
Thank you for the look-back! And for being such a wonderful dog whisperer.
This was so fun to watch and see the farm back at the beginning. Thank you.
I commented on this previously. Now I know more about the farm. Charlie loved Elle so cute - bot now in Switzerland. Elle as a wee tot and loving dogs - cute to see. And Charlie minus his stunning white fur. I learn more and more each visit. And look at videos over and over. You make my days so happy. ❤️
That's so lovely to hear. Thank you so much for your support, glad you are enjoying our videos
All your videos just melt my heart. Your farm is definitely doggy heaven on earth. Thanks Sam and Luke for sharing.
God blesses the doggies with Uncle Luke and Aunty Sam!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND FOR CARING SO MUCH !! 😊
I’m so glad this popped up. Love to see the beginnings of your awesome place. I got a big laugh when they were all following you on the agility equipment, all crowding onto that skinny board😂 I can imagine you building this with with the same energy and joy as all of the dogs. I think you’re a reincarnated doggie!
Wow...this is just wonderful. I've been loving all your videos for about a year now, but this adds some background to the DDFT story. I was already blown away by your family and the farm, but this ups the level of amazement and admiration for what you've accomplished so far! It was also sweet to see Elle as a baby, and to get to know some of your dear departed friends. As always, your videos bring me joy!🥰
Yes, I agree, and well spoken!
Glad you enjoy it!
Oh wow, what an absolutely amazing fun place you have created. The doggy’s all look so happy. Well, apart from Bandit when it was home time, so adorable. If only all doggy daycare was as much fun. You guys sure do a fab job. ❤️🐶🐕🐩🐶🐕🐩❤️👍🏼👍🏼
What a wonderful tribute to the beginning of The Farm. 💜. Little Elle learning to love what her lovely pawents have started! And precious Flo! Blind but loving the sound of the bell to find Uncle Luke. Brilliant Gang!
Love ❤️ LOVE seeing how DDCFT started to see so many familiar dogs that are original from beginning sweet memories
Thank you so much for your kind words and support
Just discovered this one. How delightful seeing little Elle as a baby and Bandit hiding because he wanted to stay😊
It's 2024 and I'm catching up. You have achieved so much. It's great looking back at the start. Bandit showed his personality from the beginning. Tilly is as beautiful now as she was then. Thank you for these wonderful videos !!!
Thx for sharing your family album. What growth--more dogs, more toys, more kids, more love.
So cool to see how this is all evolved! It's wonderful!
💙💚💟
Wow, it was magical from day 1.
Can't get enough of these old videos.... just makes my soul sing!
Such an amazing place, amazing fur family, amazing people. I cant help but cry watching this. A farm inspired by unconditional love for our fur family. God bless this farm and these people more and more. On to 1M subscriber. In God's time, it will.
Rewatching in 2023. Beautiful moments then & enhanced/strengthened now ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing your beginnings! I loved seeing familiar faces and a younger Charlie. 💕 Your Farm really is Heaven on Earth for, not only the doggies, but all of your followers around the world. ❤️. Many blessings to you all!
This came just up. Did think I saw all ur video, but not this. So interesting! I watch u videos daily and they fun and lift my mood! Big Thanks❣
This is just the best...Luke and Miss Sam are awesome...there is so much love all around. Wish I lived “down under” so my Havie could have a farm day each week. Your,posts are so special and I look forward to them. Olive and I watch each one...
you can see why Elle loves little Cutie Pie. Reminds her of Flo
I can't stop watching this video, Sam. You and your family have such a wonderful story to share, and I thank you for letting us in on it! DDFT became a reality through vision and wow! so much hard work. Your labor of love has brought a wealth of happiness and health and love to so many dogs. I could go on, but this isn't the place to write a book.😄 So, I'll just send my love to you, Luke, Elle, Evie, Wolfie, Jason, Adam, Rodney, Till, Joey, Cutie Pie, the daycare dogs, the shelter babies, and all the pawrents for supporting your work and giving their fur babies their best day's ever!
I second that - a big THANK YOU to you all.
I just saw this for the first time and it was good to see the history and progression of the farm. Thank you! ❤️❤️
Our pleasure!
I love you with all my heart ! You are the only reason I look on TH-cam. Live long and prosper !
I watched this in 2021....now I knew why Bandit acting like that every going-home-time, "he is the pioneer of this playground, he has the right!"
Lovely to see how it all started, you've come a long way! Great for you to have these memories.
They are all beautiful but Bandit is especially handsome, all living their best lives at the farm.
Bless.
😍😍😍😍😍😍
That was awesome, thank you for what you do. Your clips always put a smile on my face 😊
Rewatching in April 2024
It was so wonderful to see all the dogs I first met ….4-5 years ago ! My first day watching , I fell in LOVE WITH BANDIT ! How could you not ! I haven’t seen him in months and months ! He is bigger than life ! ❤️❤️❤️.
I'm so proud of what you have accomplished & sorry for your losses.
Thank you for sharing this....
I loved the video so much and one can see, everything you do at the farm, is done with so much passion and love!!!
You are doing a wonderful job in giving the doggies such a wonderful life!!
Congratulations!! I wish you all the happiness and success in the years to come!!! ❤🐾🐾
That is so kind of you! Thank you so much for the kind words and support. Glad you are enjoying our videos
Thank you so much for sharing. It's heartwarming to see and feel the joy love and respect that is the consistent thread that binds this wondrous daycare together..it really is one loving family..no wonder Bandit never wanted to leave. I never want to stop watching..
OMG I love this vid 🥰🥰🥰 quite an emotional watch too 💞💞💞
And the blessings continue 🤗❤️
I'd never seen these before, so glad to have to the background as a newer viewer. Thanks, really enjoyed. Bandit, you sly guy, you are so darn cute and part of the first pack -- very cool!!
This video makes me happy. It knows to pop up every once in a while so I can watch it again.
Do you realize what a great service you’re doing? I subscribed - I don’t have a dog. The pure joy on all dogs faces says it all - Thank you! It brings me joy. I’m so very sorry you lost Flo, she’s adorable!
Indian legend says:
“When a human dies, there is a bridge they must cross to enter into heaven. At the head of the bridge waits every animal that the human encountered during their lifetime. The animals based on what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge... and which are turned away”. That would be karma at it’s finest!
You will be surrounded! They get to greet us first before our loved ones. 🐾♥️🐾
I smile and love seeing your first facility, all the dogs and your family.....in my dreams Daphney, my 12 lb brindle mixed breed sidekick and I visit in my dreams....on small dog day! 💝🐶
So glad you enjoyed it thank you so much for watching
What a fun video to show us. My how you have grown your farm. . Love Elle’s interaction with the dogs. You both have made the farm a blessing. So glad you came up with such a wonderful idea. I saw Charlie in this video too I believe. Congrats. ❤️❤️
This is a wonderful find😍Tysm for sharing🥰
Thanks for watching!
How lovely to see these early days. Everyone having just as much fun! My family had boxers, always. The last one being Henry (the 8th) we certainly learn about loss when we have animals...💕🐾💕🐾💕
This was fantastic! To see how it all began to what it is today is amazing!
That makes my heart squishy.
I know I have watched this before, but it is even more special now. Now that I know many of the dogs and know some of those that are gone. I still tear up over sweet Charlie and it was good to see Wallace and Flo too. Tilly was a fireball then and it is great seeing her in her prime. The tire chase looks like it was great fun and I especially liked the tennis balls hanging from trees. I think that could still be a popular game, maybe for the puppies, to help with coordination. My favorite part was seeing Elle as a baby and how much she has grown. She has shown her love of the dogs since the beginning. In a couple of the pictures, she looked exactly like Wolfric. I almost forgot he wasn't around then!! This is just a very enjoyable video, and it's wonderful to see where your hard work has helped you to reach some of your dreams. May you continue to dream, and reach your goals, as we follow along, sharing them and cheering you on all the way!! Can't help but love you all. 🐾❤🐶☀🏐👍🥰
Amazing precious memories that you will have forever. I really enjoyed watching how the farm began. Great work. Great talent.
Precious Elle with all of the doggies, so adorable.
I guess Flo is how Elle first fell in love with Pugs.
Tilly’s mum really loved her to think about Till’s future and plan on her living with you forever.
Some of the dogs are in Heaven now, but while on this earth they had a little bit of heaven at your farm and they enjoyed every minute. Lovely video.
Thank you very much!
Babie Elle looks just like baby wolfie today.
Awwwh dear Charlie...must admit I shed a few tears seeing him again...I don't know what our connection was but that dear old soul of his really affected me...always remembered with much love
The song is so perfect, We always miss all of our loved ones, and feel blessed for the special moments and our current family and loved ones.
Great to see how it all started. You and Sam have turned your love and respect for animals into the success story you both deserve. You give so much pleasure to all of us 'dog tragics' all over the world. Thank you so much. ❤
Thank you so much!
Ha ha Roddy, I never had a working description for my life long love for all the furry friends in the world, but "Dog Tragic" pretty much sums it up. Cheers mate.
❤️💜❤️💜
I JUST. LOVE THIS. SONG.
So glad you enjoyed it
You really have a special way with these beautiful animals and I am just happy you found the best fun-work for you. Its a blessing! God bless you and you family and all creatures great and small.
Thank you so much!
After all these years watching the Farm videos this is the first time seeing this one. It now ranks as being one of my favorites. Elle is so cute!
Watched this one three times now, once nearly frame by frame to read the captions and study each photo.So sad to realized many of them are no longer with us, but happy to know they had experiences and relationships few dogs get to have in their short lifetimes. I love these looks to the past. One day we'll see the young ladies and young man all grown up, hopefully continuing the work Luke, Sam and crew started. To future success!
OMG you and your lovely family are absolutely ADORABLE 🐕🐶💖💖😁😁i LOOOOOVE all that you do for the doggies, and soooo applaud you for getting yourself well after leaving the services. You are AMAZING🦮🐕🐶 you should bring rescue doggies there too💖🦮
Well said - and a year on - oh look, there are rescue dogs on the Farm - their giving just goes on and on - bless you Luke and Sam.
@@carolvanbeugenbik4632 I know how amazing is that!!!! Looooove these guyz
So beautiful❤️
Thank you! 😊
Elle looks so like Wolfie!! Same pedigree going on there. Bandit has certainly matured from these days . You have done an immense job to have built up a superb business with your skills as dog trainers and handlers. This is all about having a dream and achieving it. Congratulations …only you know how much blood sweat and tears it takes…we certainly enjoy that effort. Thank you so much.
I had to go back and watch it again today. Loved seeing Bandit so young and Tilly acting like a puppy! For health reasons I had to close my small dog boarding and grooming business after more than 25 years. I've even moved, from SC where I lived over 30 years back to FL where I was born, to be near family. But, I still miss all of my clients and their dogs, and your wonderful videos fill the void and warm my heart. ❤
So amazing how it all started and how far you’ve come. 👏👏👏 outstanding!
Beautiful film! This popped up on my feed and I thoroughly enjoyed taking a moment to look back and reflect on how much you’ve done and the connections you all have made.
Fellow New South Welsh person here. Far, far, far south coast of NSW. Just love watching your video's. The time just gets eaten up watching it all. Such an amazing concept for the doggo's. As a life long dog tragic I say thanks so much for what you do for all our Aussie pooches. I already had oddles of respect but when you started with the shelter dogs I just couldn't stop the tears of happiness and relief flowing. I mean every single one of the videos. I have had so many of these types of dogs in my life and each dog you show bring's back memories of my own furry friends. These orphan annies and andrews are so worth it. They need people like you more than you know. So THANK YOU so very much and keep up the fantastic life saving and life enriching work with what I think are the most deserving of all creatures great and small.
Absolutely wonderful retrospect. Gives new subscribers an opportunity to see and "catch up".
I am in love with the first song, Sam. Can you add it to your new playlist? 💜
Yep! Paradise for puppies and children of all ages.🤩
Bandit what a character! Wow how you have grown. Congrats to you and your family. Beautiful.
So proud of you and Sam! We buried a pet today. One of many and it never gets easier. But so happy for the memories!
So sorry Linda for your loss…
@@johospidor7436 thank you Jo.
I'm so sorry for your loss - it's so sad when they leave us to go over the Rainbow Bridge but, you're right, they leave us with the most wonderful memories.
@@carolvanbeugenbik4632 thank you!
We are so sorry to hear of your loss Linda
Beautiful! Thanks for posting!
A beautiful beginning of the farm . Now I want to watch and support more of your beautiful family. A well deserving family. A wish you more blessings to your family.❤️
Thank you so much!
Loved watching this video from way back at the beginning, brought tears seeing Old Charlie boy and Wallace, seeing my favorite buddy Bandit, so young, I get teary eyed at times watching him, sometimes it seems as if he is slowing down, I know some people would think that's crazy since I've never met any of the precious babies in person, the thing is I feel a close bond ❤ to them no matter what, especially ❤ that adorable and loving ❤ Bandit, these videos are the best therapy ever, at least for me, Thank you everyone especially Uncle Luke for all your hard work and dedication to bring us such love and happiness into our lives ❤
What a beautiful story and video. Thank you so much for rehabilitating and providing these dogs a deserving life.
Absolutely beautiful 😍 ❤ how cute is Elle 😇 thankyou 💖 another wonderful start to my day
You are so welcome!
Memories so beautiful. Thanks for the Saturday smile ❤️🐾🦴
Oh wow, how much has the farm grown. Elle & Wolfie so alike as babies. I just love Bandit's expressions at home time! I just love all the videos!
