I drove down to Guadalajara with my 200+ English Mastiff and bulldog/pitty mix. Even by going super early, I had to leave the windows down while I did the immigration papers inside the office. The border officers with the machine guns were so nice and watched my car to make sure no one messed with my mastiff. Every checkpoint with the National Guard, or police stop, the topic was the mastiff. I brought all the paperwork too, and no one asked to see it when entering or exiting Mexico.
Yeah, same. I bet your pup's a cutie! Luckily when I went through immigration it was quite cool and no one was around. Got in and out quickly. Thanks for commenting (I always love to hear about others' experience).
Newly retired RN here. I will be driving across the border at Nogales with 2 dogs on September 30. I have enjoyed following your videos as I can relate to your former profession, and travel observations. I will be living in a town that you decided you were not fond of, and after my scouting trip I can understand why you felt the way you did. I will be a town near my former exchange student family, who live in Guadalajara. This is where they suggested I move to and I will have their support. I always say that “nothing needs to be permanent, but I will be there until the wind blows me in a different direction.” Again, I have enjoyed your reviews of the various areas you have stayed in.
An easy and healthy treat for your pups is sweet potato. Scrub a raw sweet potato but don't peel it. Cut it into 1/2" slices. Lay flat on a baking sheet and cook at a low temp (like 200-250 Fahrenheit) for 20 minutes then turn over. Don't use oil or spices. Slow baking concentrates the natural sweetness, and you can cut slices into small pieces. Handy and cheap treats for your pups, and you'll probably enjoy them too.
Your comments about people's interest in Viggo bring back memories. I had a beautiful golden retriever while living overseas. We had several troubling incidents, which made me super vigilant about ensuring her safety. Always carry a cell phone, and perhaps a walking stick. Never leave your pups unattended or tie them up outside while you do errands. Twice someone tried to steal my pup when I was shopping for a few groceries. There were also people who wanted to breed their dogs with her. We kept our distance and she stayed safety at home unless I was with her. In Turkey and Pakistan sometimes street dogs would approach and surround us. I'd pick her up and turn my back to them with her against a car or wall. Several times local people helped me run off the street dogs. Remain cautious and alert.
Thank you I will. I do exactly what you said and carry a big stick. I've only had to threaten with in a couple of times. Where we are now, Viggo is still a novelty but no one has expressed the same level of interest as in Villa del Carbon. The dogs only go out in the street with me.
I’m enjoying your videos. I’ve watched several other creators on RUclips. You are the very BEST! You have the perfect cadence & choice of vocabulary. Thank You!
Mora I love your dogs! I use to have a long haired boarder collie for some years until cancer took her away. I’ve kinda looking for a sweet German shepherd on the smaller side like lola. But I do have 2 cats and one is older so I’m thinking when one passes I’ll replace with a dog again. I really miss my dog walks. I love your videos and we seem to have a lot in common. I am 58 yrs old …the nurse dreaming of retiring sooner then later. My first step is to visit Mexico which I plan to do a relocation tour in November. I think your video are very informative and glad your sharing your experiences! 😊
thankful I found your videos. I will be doing the exact same thing as you but about a year after you, so I am thankful for your videos! I also have two pups but they’re much smaller, but I also still want to make sure I find places with at least a small yard for them. Because of their size and double coat, we are not walkers, we just run and play in the yard, and to avoid any issues with other dogs. I hope to continue watching your videos for the next six months before we head down!
@@MoraMargaret Mora if I may ask, how do you usually find your rentals? I've been writing Airbnb to please put in a filter for fenced in yards as it's currently an "amenity" that can be listed. Every place I saw you rent seemed to have a good yard. I scour photos on listings but it is exhausting lol.
That's a good idea. Unfortunately I have no special method to finding rentals, I just scour too :) That rental in Villa del Carbon had no yard but just a roof, and we stayed almost a month there. It made for a lot of daily walks and luckily it was a nice neighborhood for that.
Hi Mora. I really enjoy your videos. I am learning from you. They're so calming. I look forward to traveling just like you. I also love your doggies, and I'm happy you have them to keep you company. Take care, God bless. 🌷
Something I have been giving my Yorkshire terrier for 6 years now is carbon 60. I take it myself. Research has shown that C60 in olive oil given to rats doubled their lifespan. My Yorkie at age 14 is bright and alert, and has not a bit of grey hair. People we meet are surprised when I tell them her age. C60 is a super antioxidant and a detoxicant.
New subscriber 😀😆 I really love your video. Your dogs are beautiful 🥰. You are a brave lady. I would love to drive to other countries but I’m a scary cat 🙀. Safe travels 🐕🦺🐕🦮😃
Your video pop-up on my scrolling (😂) Glad I hit play . New sub from AZ 🇺🇸. I too ❤ 🐶🐶 thank your sharing your travel in 🇲🇽 with Olive & Bigo they are both lovely. take care some street dogs can cause harm. Be safe. 🙏🏼 Saludos.
Villa del Carbón is about 2590 meters or 8500 feet above sea level. You can expect freezing nights probably starting this month, and sometimes even in March. For a great part of Mexico, the hottest time of the year are April and May, so this always surprises Americans that expect the heat in July. Have a good life in my country!
Muchas gracias! Yes, I didn’t know about this weather pattern until after I got here, and I was surprised like you said! It’s great to have the option to be up in the mountains 🙂
Hi Mora, I just stumbled across your channel this morning and I'm glad I did! I've been kicking around the idea of moving to Mexico for a few years now and have always wondered about running into street dogs while out walking your dog, your video helped answer some questions, but brought to mind more questions. I think pepper spray is illegal in Mexico, is there some other kind of weapon you could carry like a walking stick to help defend yourself and your dogs while walking? I can't wait to check out the rest of your videos, keep the good information coming!
Thank you! I should have said a good stick is great to have, but really if you just pretend to raise your arm they usually scatter. Mexico is beautiful! I hope you come and see :)
Flying with a dog is hugely complex and bureaucratic. It's much more complex with two dogs because of flight rules and limitations. Driving is way better. ALWAYS check and keep checking the rules well in advance of any border crossings. Sounds like you're well prepared. Just be sure to stay that way. When I lived and worked in four countries overseas, I had a golden retriever. When anyone approached, I'd hold her on leash securely and close beside me. They'd go through the same "is she dangerous?" discussion. I'd use my judgment and introduce her carefully when warranted. If someone felt sketchy, I'd suggest they keep their distance. While she was dying to play and make friends, I took things slowly until I got the lay of the land. She was a wonderful companion and friend, and I learned my way around each town quickly as we walked. We had 13 great years together. I miss her.
I understand how you feel. I've only had these two less than a year. Before that I had the first dog I'd ever raised from a pup. When he died I was heartbroken. But my two funny angles keep me company. Thanks for the tips, sound like you have a lot of experience taking a dog abroad :)
Oh goodness! I just asked you about your dogs in another video! 😊 I recently rescued an American Bully who had been used as a breeder and bait dog. She is the sweetest soul I’ve ever met. On another note, did you feel safe as you were driving?
Your poor baby! Now you can say to her what I say to Olive: "your hard days are over". She is lucky to have you! I have not always felt safe driving, but I've had no trouble so the feeling of safety... It's all in our heads. I do the best I can to stay out of active crime areas, and having to drive through Sonora and Sinaloa was the hardest part. All we can do is try to keep up to date on current information and see what others have experienced in the same area recently. Get on the FB groups On the Road in Mexico. There are two of them and that's where I hear latest news. I also take the US State department advisories into account, and never drive at night. There is more crime here on the road. If you make the choice to drive here, you have to know that. I wish you good luck in whatever you decide!
Hiiii, great pooch video; I have two as well and was curious about the day-to-day. Super helpful! Did you go to the big dog park in Ajijic? I have a very big aussie girl and she really needs to run on the daily-kinda hard to find space for that.
Yes I did! That was a great dog park! Unfortunately no other dogs were there when we went. I heard they are going to demolish that water park to make condos :(
Most mexican dogs aren’t homeless just like you said! They are kept as home protection and to give owners alert in case of intruders but they are allowed to roam freely in the streets where they create packs, of course there has to be alpha and beta dogs, and there’s also male and female dogs, most of the female dogs owners know there’s mating seasons and will try at their best to keep them inside their property but they usually escape and do their thing!! Some owners take better care of their dogs some don’t care at all! And those dogs usually roam far away looking for food! Some people will feed them and they will move and offer their services to this new owner!! More lately Mexicans are seeing dogs as pets but most of them will keep them inside their property but outside in the yard.
I would be careful while walking your dogs. The mexican dogs can be agressive but more imprtant id worry because how many are inoculated, thats what would worry me and someone stealing him. Once you start breeding thats what will be on his mind. Truthfully vets say have them fixed unless you bought him for breeding purposes. They make better pets and you dont have to be worried of him running away when he smells a girlfriend. Lol Enjoy beautiful Mexico.
Mora, our happy, handsome Golden Retriever Buddy was attacked twice by the same Pit Bull. We live in an apartment complex in Querétaro. After the first attack, the owners were told by the manager of the complex that their Pit Bull had to be muzzled when they had her out and about in the complex. When the second attack happened by the same Pit Bull (six months after the first attack), the Pit Bull was not wearing the muzzle. Buddy was hurt bad with bites on his chest area after the first attack ... after the second attack Buddy had to have surgery on his mouth where the Pit Bull had clamped down hard and would not release until I managed to separate her from Buddy. Thank God Buddy is healing well and remains in high spirits. Jorge and I are still distraught by these incidents, but Buddy in his cheerful wisdom lets us know that he is going to be okay and that we need to be okay as well. We will be moving when the lease on this apartment is up in January. We will move to a lovely area called Zibatá (where we lived when we first moved to Querétaro in December of 2021) -- it has lovely landscaped parks to walk Buddy in. We will rent a house with a back yard. We're really more "house people" than "apartment people". I went too long with this message, but I sure do commiserate with you on dog attacks. Buddy's personality is just like Viggo's. :-) ¡Saludos! Joseph (Pepe) Quillian
The dog travel requirements have changed and are being enforced at the border crossings intermittently. You need to provide a CDC registration, proof of current rabies vaccine, and proof of microchip. I have been asked for the documents at the San Ysidro border crossing.
Thank you! But I think Birmano means Burmese..? He is a Bernese Mountain Dog from the Bern region in Switzerland (at least his ancestors were). Google is telling me Boyero de Berna, but I thought Boyero was a shepherd. My other translating app says Perro de Montana de Bernese. I guess I'll give that a try. Thanks for your comment!
Have you ever considered carrying bear spray, or a cattle prod? Actually, bear spray would affect my own dog too, so likely not a good idea, and a cattle prod may be considered an illegal weapon, so also may not be a good idea… I don’t even know if you can obtain those things down in Mexico? I am concerned about walking my dogs. Do you walk them together? Mine walk at different paces since they are different sizes. Worried about the potential street dogs and the fact that it may be easier to control when other dogs approach if I only walk one at a time. What is your experience?
I relayed my experience in the video. I haven't had any serious altercations. I carry a big stick. Unfortunately, Mexico won't even let me fly my drone here, let alone brandish a cattle prod! I have walked them separately and together and never seriously felt threatened.
@@MoraMargaret Mora, there´s a lot of nasty dogs everywhere, you should take precautions. I never take mine out of my house. Many, many accidentes happen here...
I've rescued 9 "donated/dumped" pups. From American Pittie to Presa Canario to Border Collie to Black Lab to mixed breeds. I still provided a good home to four mixed pups.
