Video: The American Farm Bureau’s 2023 Farm Dog of the Year

The top farm dog in the U.S. is a border collie named Tough.

The nearly 15-year-old dog is the 2023 American Farm Bureau’s Farm Dog of the Year.

She lives and works on Denny and Donna Ashcraft’s livestock farm in Jackson, County Kansas.

Farms.com spoke with the Ashcrafts about how Tough came into their lives and how she lives up to her name.

The American Farm Bureau started the Farm Dog of the Year contest to celebrate the farm dogs who work alongside U.S. producers.
