      I live in AZ and we have to deal with lots of coyotes, pumas/mountain lions/cougars (depending where in the country you live), and javelinas. The coyotes are the ones we have to be hyper vigilant with. In fact, two were killed by AZ fish and wildlife last week because they had attacked two different dogs. Sadly they found a few pups in their den near the golf course and they are now being cared for in animal sanctuary.

    After my Mom passed, I was in charge of her older boxer. who seemed lost and depressed. But she was getting up there in years. I decided to get a lab puppy (for me, primarily). The puppy perked mom's boxer up so much I couldn't believe it! The puppy soon belonged to her. It was an incredible improvement for the older boxer. She would often put the lab in her place when she got annoying but she was never mean, just assertive. It was fun to watch.

    "They fight all the time"
    When I got a new puppy, my older female was SO crotchety. She'd get up, snarl at her, push her down with her paw--but they're inseparable. Dogs communicate differently than us, and so long as blood isn't being drawn, they're totally fine together. A lot of people thing the 'dog boundary' barking and growling is scary but it's not.

    • @nortalian549

    You don't need to worry about the vultures Dr. Mike. They are black vultures who look for food (deceased animals) by sight. They watch other animals to see if they have found food as well. We have a pair of vultures who saw our barn cat eating cat food and now come by once or twice a week to get some for themselves. They bring their hatchlings every summer and the bravest one will come up to our sliding glass door and peck on it to let us know they want lunch. But they've never been aggressive to the barn cat at all.

    6:27- Those are turkey vultures! They won't grab live prey, they're nature's vaccuum cleaners and go after road kill/things that are already dead (and one of my favorite birds, they're so cool) so dont' worry! they might be curious, but most of the time they're just soaring around. You probably have some good drafts/gliding winds by your house. Regular hawks, yes, be careful, but turkey vultures you don't have to worry about. What a little cutie, you're such a great dog dad. Welcome to the family Rib!

  • @0aprilanne0
    @0aprilanne0 26 дней назад +721

    Just as a heads-up from a dog groomer, Rib will be prone to a condition called dilution alopecia due to the color of his coat. In my experience, dilute colored coats are also a lot higher maintenance. The fur tends to be finer and wooly, causing it to mat easy and not shed as well by itself.
    Gray is a registerable color, but gray and white is not. The best thing to do in that situation is see what the stance of the breed club is, or if another kennel club (like UKC) allows it. If no breed or kennel club allows the color, then unfortunately the only way to obtain it is from unethical breeders (if you don't rescue). But like for example, AKC doesn't allow multicolored poodles for literally no reason, but the entire poodle community and every other kennel club is fine with them (besides merle), so you can find many responsibly bred multicolored poodles.

    • @cyn4476
      @cyn4476 26 дней назад +98

      I had the same thought, I hope that Rib will not develop alopecia like so many do. Mike brushes Bear thoroughly and frequently, so I don't see matting becoming an issue, I think he'll keep the undercoat brushed out pretty well.
      I do not agree that it's only unethical breeders who are breeding the dilute colors (not that there aren't way too many of those). Genetic testing helps keep such recessive genes from presenting and being passed along. I'd rather see a puppy's genetic lineage than his "best in show" lineage, which is all I see the AKC as.
      Speaking as a former groomer, vet tech and, sadly, former owner of a few extremely inbred dogs who were bred to "standard" and turned out to have massive issues. Club standards aren't the end all, as you point out with poodles. Club standards allowed, for example, cockers to be so inbred it's difficult to find a breeding pair that isn't too closely related.

      @@Christinakloehn-ip3tu That made me laugh, thank you 😆
      Breeding for colors that aren't normal for the breed can introduce health problems. Rib's color is not a normal Newfie color. Breeding that color into the line means introducing a gene mutation. That gene doesn't only change the colors, but can change other things too.
      Breeding two parents who have the double dilute gene (aka dd, as opposed to the dark colored gene known as DD) can cause a condition where the pups get patchy bald spots, itchy, rashy skin. The fur on the puppy can look normal until they reach puberty (or around that time) and then something happens where the coat just goes wonky.
      Sadly, it's very common for puppies with dilute color genes that aren't normal for the breed to get this condition. As above said, it's called Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA). It's not fully understood and it doesn't always affect the pups. But it's better to avoid breeding two dd dogs with each other.
      This is a pretty surface level explanation, there's way more that goes into color genes than I've outlined here. I know it's long, but it's actually the fewest words I could use to describe what we are discussing. I hope it helps explain. It's actually VERY interesting, if you want to learn more about it!

But she does a lot of play bows and tail wags with other dogs so while it sounds mean, if both dogs are initiating and reciprocating with play bows then they both know and trust one another that they won't take it to far or to rough.

    You really hit the nail on the head when you said "They don't really fight...they just play battle all the time" that's a great way for puppies to socialize with a non-reactive dog that's in their household/pack (or as my pup is currently learning- don't mess with the cats or try to play with the cats because you will be scratched on the nose, they had her trained in about 5 minutes 🤣) Welcome Rib!!!

      Yes, cats are very efficient dog trainers. Our newf also learned very quickly to respect the cat. He wouldn't even try to chase her away when she was lying on his bed. He gently tried to fold himself on the opposite corner of the pillow.

      One of my friends dogs is in this situation and now she keeps complaining about constant barking+destruction because the dog has major lack of stimulation and thus anxiety in many forms. The person who gave her the dog either was cruel or clueless, because the woman has cancer and doesn't go outside very much ... they gave her an Australian cattle dog.

    Hey Dr. Mike! Chiming in on the wildlife (esp the raptors; I've been working with them for several years) as an expert- the foxes won't be much of a problem for you. They're just curious, but they would never attack anything that much larger than them unless they were a) cornered or b) sick/injured. The biggest risk to little Ribbie would be through rabies via a bite, or from the spread of parvo/distemper/roundworms/mites/etc. As long as he's vaccinated, he should be relatively safe! Coyotes, on the other hand, can be a little unpredictable in certain situations and I'm not familiar enough with the exact risk in your neck of the woods. I think what you're doing re: night walks with Bear is a great idea, even if the risk is still incredibly low.
    As for the raptors, you've got absolutely NOTHING to worry about. I know they look big with that 6ft wingspan, but the Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) in your clip is only about 3-4 pounds and only eats carrion. There's a common misconception that circling vultures overhead means they're waiting for something to die/hunting for prey/etc. Vultures are basically like giant balloons that eat dead stuff- they try to expend as little energy as possible by relying on thermals of warm air, which provides effortless lift if they can enter the thermal from the correct angle. Turkey vultures hold their wings in that iconic "V" shape to take advantage of both thermal lift and also less pronounced orographic lift (which is just a fancy way of saying "air moving over terrain that goes upward, like a hill or mountain"). Your house on top of that hill is likely just a really good spot for them to get some lift to find food elsewhere. Perhaps there is even a roost nearby, which is an area where vultures congregate to sleep for the night and depart early morning for foraging.
    Most importantly: They wouldn't dream of bothering Rib. They're much too skittish and long-lived to risk dying earlier than necessary from an encounter that wouldn't even provide the benefit of food. :) Even a large female Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) couldn't carry that little goober off the ground (females are usually larger than males in most raptors). A bald eagle at it's largest only gets up to about 10-14 pounds. A small dog or a cat would absolutely be capable of being preyed upon in the right circumstance (and have been known to do so, much to the dismay of animal lovers who frequent live camera streams from their nests- alas, the circle of life!). As you said, though, nothing the size of a Newfie is at risk!
    I'm always happy to answer wildlife questions, especially as it pertains to wildlife in the northeast (PA/NJ/NY). Let me know if I can put any other worries at ease! And congrats on the sweet little edition to your family! With his progress in the pool, you'll be calling him little Ribbit in no time! 🐸 Also if you're interested in some cool, peer-reviewed sources on what I shared, I have them, but I know most people will not care lol.

      Yep, I was going to say the same thing about foxes. They're really small -- about the size of a cat -- and very timid. The three who visit our backyard get routinely scared off by the opossums. Even a puppy-sized Newfie would be far more than they'd try to take on!

    Some things that new puppy owners tend to forget to do during training is to muzzle train and get them used to all sorts of different stimuli, that way they won't be scared of it in the future. Bring him to the vet for a 'fun visit' where the staff just play with and feed him treats so its not a scary place to go all the time. have him wear a harness or a cone for a few hours to get used to (so he doesn't rip it off when he gets neutered) and give lots of treats and chew toys so it's a positive experience. Give him a 'physical exam' often so that when the vet tries to pick up his paws and press on his belly or pick up his tail, he won't be irritated or wary. have strangers (your friends) interact with him in weird ways and play thunderstorm noises or vacuum. Just introduce him to anything at all that he'll need to be introduced to in the future so he learns that it's all safe. Don't have him interact with other dogs just yet because he might not be fully vaccinated, but just. have him learn that no matter what, he's safe with you and safe with people.
