#farm dog therian

[studioustoker]

I think I've figured out what my most prominent theriotype could be??? Long ass post so cutoff for convenience but I am always interested in hearing others experiences and perspectives when it comes to this.

Since learning about therianthropy I've been questioning some kind of canine. For a while I thought it could be a coyote (which is still not entirely off the table, more on that later), but now after months of mulling it over I believe myself to be some sort of livestock guardian or herding dog; a farm dog! It makes a lot of sense to me and feels like a very comfortable label. I've been able to "see" myself more as I've been practicing meditation and focusing on finding my theriotype(s), and I feel phantom shifts for paws, fangs, even fur much stronger now since learning more about farm dogs and their traits. I'd never really been into dogs like I like cats so a lot of the information I'm learning about dog breeds is very new, BUT I am somewhat considering the possibility of specifically being an Australian Shepherd or koolie (or a mix thereof). I've been using a lot of guided meditations for focus and introspection and they've honestly really helped me learn visualization of my wants and needs when it comes to my identity.

But let me just say I have never experienced this before. I literally have no idea how to explain it.

I don't really consider myself a religious or spiritual person, and I'd have no idea where to start if I was interested in researching spiritual therianthropy. But as I continue to learn more about myself and alterhumanity, I am starting to consider the possibility of there being something more than only the psychological component to it for myself.

I don't think that I am ONLY a farm dog either, and I am still learning more about my other possible nonhuman identities. I'm super interested in learning about the experiences of spiritual therians so if anyone has anything they'd like to share (something about your journey to your identity as a spiritual therian, how your therianthropy relates to your spirituality, etc) I'd love to hear it.

For now though I am just SUPER excited about finally feeling like I've figured something out and I am super grateful to have found spaces like this and others like me :)

anyways this is probably the closest to what I see myself as :3

okay thank u for reading this long ass post <3

Here’s the part two! @youokaymilo

Again, any issues with this, preferences, or stuff you want me to change, please ask and I will happily redo it or edit it !

I know the farm elements aren’t very strong in either of these, and I’m sorry about that, I struggled to find the right gifs, but I can try again if you want!

Requests are open!

really thinking recently that i think i’m a farm dog. not sure which breed; probably some kind of collie. possibly brown border collie or rough collie.

i don’t really believe in past lives and yet i have such a strong feeling that i’ve BEEN a farm dog. i feel like i remember it. or maybe i just AM one and that’s what i’m thinking of. maybe i’m just yearning, not remembering. i don’t know!

[starryemberskinposting]

shout out to all the sheep, cows, chickens, pigs, etc that i as a border collie was made to guide :3

it was fun to be a farmhand, much easier with four legs.

i can hardly imagine doing that now.

i miss the feeling of the warm breeze in my fur, or the warmth of the wool blanket.

sheeps and cattle, is what i herded, easy to get along with, and would obey what i barked.

i miss my owners, caring for me as i cared for them.

[therian-cat-mitzy]

Rahhhh what is going ON. I swear, I am not a dog-related alterhuman, nor am I a farm cat. I hate questioning my life sometimes.

HELLO OTHERKIN/THERIANS/ALTERHUMANS/NONHUMANS/OTHERLINKERS/OTHERPAW!! DO YOU WANT TO BUY AN ETHICAL TAIL BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE? IM HERE TO GIVE YOU TIPS!

Okay I'll stop talking in caps now, but here you have my tail guide for any and all people who just want a tail!

Cruel fur farms treat their animals badly, and it's best to avoid them. Here are some tips on how to spot cruel farms from the ethically sourced ones! (Most tips from here!)

Disclaimer: I would only be wary of items if they show more than 2 of these signs. Just do research before you buy!

Signs that indicate a cruel source:

- Sold/Sourced from Asia (Asia has bad animal cruelty laws, here's a list per country on how good their animal rights are)

- From Wish, AliExpress, Amazon, Temu or EBay (Even the 'faux fur' ones can be real and cruel)

- If they use stock photos

- Asian lobster clams (This does not always indicate cruelty)

- If they look thin, small, and generally unhealthy

- Any usage of 'mink farms' in desc.

- If they are bleached or colored

- If the price is low (Under 20-25)

- No info about source (Always ask the seller if you're not sure)

Signs that indicate ethical source:

- Scraps that were being thrown away otherwise (Should be in item description or FAQ)

- Lived long and happy lives (Item description or FAQ)

- Thick, healthy tails

- Population control/Legal hunters (With a permit)

Now I'll show a few Etsy shops I've confirmed to be Ethically sourced!
