This year, American Farrier's Journal brought back its Farrier Dog of the Year Contest inviting our readers to share heartwarming photos and stories of the beloved canine companions who accompany farriers through long days on the job. Thanks to your enthusiastic votes, we are thrilled to announce that Luna has been crowned our 2025 Farrier Dog of the Year! Luna and her owner, Farrier Evan Miller, will be honored at the 2026 International Hoofcare Summit in the Cincinnati Metro area, KY.
But the celebration doesn't stop there! We are excited to present the 2026 Farrier Dog of the Year Calendar, showcasing the 12 finalists that earned the most votes and captured the hearts of the farrier community. Each month features a different winning dog whose bio you can read in the top 12 dogs in the slideshow below.

Hemp for Horses and Hounds! Doesn't just about everyone who has a horse have a dog? We worked on perfecting Hemp for Horses pellets for years, but have always made products for dogs. We make everything right here on the farm. No middleman ever! We are not selling anything that we have not given to our own animals that we love. We handle everything from "Farm to Stable" and "Soil to Oil"!
Fun fact: We made our dog Macey (who was hit on the road years ago) CBD treats before we even made our first batch of horse pellets! From arthritis to calming, everything CBD does for horses, it can do for your dog.
