    I agree with Tamera. Bear may be the good guy who fought off another animal. The blood may be from another animal that Bear came to Earls rescue when he yelled out. I really don’t think he did it.

      Knowing dog behavior, I actually think Daniel is spot on, it doesn't make Bear a bad dog, it just makes them both "dogs" its what they do,, and Earl is at the prime age for that stuff to happen and yes, Bear is acting guilty, Also Daniel can't give Bear the attention that some may think, he is not a regular pet, he is a working dog and its what he loves.

    Bear looks like "Sorry dad, the coon got to him before I could get to it" just as he would look like if something attacked a baby goat and he was to late. We all saw how he took down the piglet without it being wounded. Earl is just shell shocked, not scared of Bear, if he was he would lay down submissively when Bear came close. Having Bear fixed will stop him from straying when the neighbors dog is in heat, so a good idea. Look at the dogs body languish, Earl clearly is buddy with Bear, no competition between them. No more feeding on the terrace to attract coon and possums.

      The thing about it is once 2 males go at it sometimes the larger alpha can really put a whoopin on the lesser. It seems like they would just give a quick bite and leave it at that but they dont . looks like bear really over did it. My brother had 3 males who were all from the same litter. They were large like bear and for the most part they were cool but when it came to food or a ball or toy those 3 would tear each other to pieces. My brother lovef them all and wouldnt get rid of either of the 3. Unfortunately they keep them in separate fenced areas of his ranch. So i feel for you. Earl we love you buddy. Get well soon. And Bear ........we love you too dude. You need to behave once you get fixed cuz you know u messed up.

    I have wrote to you guys a few times over the years when it come to wild animals. A coon will attack the face and chest because that is where it can reach. Bear, on the other hand would bite the back and neck of the smaller dog. how is Bear going to get Earls chest? Look close for a dead coon or other smaller animal. Bear would have killed it for the bites on his face. As always I love you chanel, and Earl should heal very very fast.

    Just reposting this here as it failed to post on your latest video.
    I've been watching your channel for over 2 years, haven't commented
    before, and appreciate that you tell it like it is with your farm
    animals. This has to include your working dog Bear. Like other viewers,
    my first instinct with Bear being blamed was unhappiness and I thought
    it was unfair. I've watched Bear grow up and he puts in a hard and
    honest day's work every day. He was there first. It's his patch and his
    territory. His gentle temperment with the kids is also incredible as
    many working dogs I know are aloof and all business and only answer to
    one alpha male human. But having Bear neutered is a gift for him and one
    of the kindest things you can do. Neutered male dogs live longer, are
    healthier, develop fewer cancers and tend not to get into as many bloody
    scraps with other male dogs. One day, Bear will be an old boy and if he
    charges into a fight with another male dog he'll really take damage and
    suffer. Over the years, we've grown to see dogs as little humans or fur
    babies. They aren't. They don't behave like children and have their own
    instincts. We don't do animals any favour by pretending they are
    humans. Having Bear fixed is a kindness both for him and for future
    unwanted litters of his puppies. Who knows if Bear rally mauled your
    house dog. But it's put the push on to get him fixed and that's at least
    one positive outcome from a bad situation. You did right.

    I think Bear also experienced trama and was needing some loving from Dad. It makes sense that it was a coon attacking Earl. Not a large dog. Plus, where you found Earl hiding in such a small area makes me think a coon backed him into that spot. Better get some cameras watching your porch area to see this coon and get rid of it before Bear has to fight it off again because I believe that’s what Bear did to save his Earl.

He absolutely would not accept the older Corgi being the dominant alpha. About 6 times we had to have the Corgi stitched up and I was at my wits end with the bulldog. God intervened one night.

    It saddens me that getting rid of Bear was even on the table. I know for now he is staying, but I fear if it really was a dog fight that it is bound to happen again. He has protected your animals from coyotes and other predators for years and has gotten along well with the other dogs. Bear has been nothing but loyal. Earl is the newcomer to the pack. I think it would be easier for Earl to settle with a new family than Bear going to a new farm where he has to learn a new herd of animals and a new property. If a new dog is brought into the fold and it changes the pack dynamics in an undesirable way then they should be the one to go. Why does Earl need to be bred? There are thousands of dogs that are euthanized every day in shelters. Encourage families to adopt from shelters.

With all due respect...here's a few suggestions; Going forward,never feed the dogs together or in a common area, consider making Earl an "indoor dog''(using a leash or run for bathroom breaks), always keep the security cameras on the pets, and have Earl supervised 100% of the time when not indoors. Ideas may sound overly cautious and/or harsh, but the bottom line=Earl is no match for either predatory raccoons OR your LGD Bear,

      I totally concur with everything you say. This breed of dog is not much of a fighter either...more suited to be an inside dog. I hope they need your advise. We do a lot of rescue and have needed to separate dogs that were previously fine together then suddenly got into a fight. They never got along after that. One is now inside and one is outside now.

I would think the Vet has seen a lot of attacked dogs to know what she is looking at.

If he's afraid of Bear, he MAY have been the culprit, but if he's NOT afraid of him, then I SERIOUSLY doubt that Bear was at fault.

    I think Bears body language was in response to Daniel’s voice and attitude towards him. He could sense the disapproval and judgement. If you do not have footage of the attack I think you have to give bear proper justice by letting him be innocent until proven guilty. And you will need to change your feeding habits because you may be drawing raccoons onto your porch. If you are really worried about them being together without supervision then you will need to provide the supervision and or just keep them apart when you can not be with them. I really do not think you can judge bear from his body language or some blood. The blood and some signs of injury can also be from a wild animal. Bear is smart and realized you are not happy with him and responded accordingly!!

    Both boys need to be neutered if you want peace. If you find that there are still issues, that may be the option, or to keep Earl away from Bear, all together. Bear will always protect, whether he's intact or not, but if only one is neutered, you still have the hormone issue, and Bear may become even more dominant, because he's going to try and dominate an intact male. It's kind of an all or none situation. I worked for a shelter for 20yrs, and I trained dogs, and the #1 complaint of dogs coming into the shelter was because either neither were neutered or only 1. Earl will possibly need it too, or you could possibly still have issues, and poor Earl will lose every time. I have a yorkie and a dane. The yorkie is the dominant. I had to neuter both to have peace. Because, yorkies like to start fights they can't finish! Give Earl a hug, and pet ole Bear's head. He's just being a dog, after all.

    Yes Daniel I have to believe that it was a raccoon. From the start of the vidieo I said it had to be a raccoon . Bear was acting a little guilty, because Earl got hurt on his watch. Bears canines are very large and I would think that with the amount of wounds on earl that he probably would have ripped skin away and broken bones. I’ve seen dogs that have fought coons, and let me tell you those coons can inflict horrible damage on a dog. I’m sticking on bears side. I think he came in late in Earls defense and did what you have him for “ protection “. Anyway that’s my two cents on this Sulphur Oklahoma canine mystery…..BEAR for President! …..poor Earl.

I've seen what a raccoon does to a dog and I've seen what kind of damage a dog does ain't know raccoon nearly snatching a dogs lower teeth out like that they don't have the jaw power. Plus a dogs bite on another dog looks like little patches knocked out of a dog's fur and deep gashes dogs teeth aren't meant for slashing like you think so there just pulling out large chunks of flush like your thinking they can but you don't even see that much in a pitbull fight that happens more with people than dogs if anything it's going to give him big deep gashes depending on how long the fight was and since we don't know how long the fight actually was he more than likely didn't fight him very long for what damage he did do and you aren't going to see broken bones if he wasn't going for the legs or if they weren't fighting very long. Your just trying to take up for bear If bear did it it's best to face the facts and something needs to be done about it either make it where they don't have contact with each other or maybe get one or both of them fixed. It was either bear or another dog. If bear has small scars and blood on him that means he was fighting. If bear got a hold of a coon that would be one dead coon because bear could take a coon easy and with a coon fight you'd find hair patches on the ground that's a very clear sign of a coon fight because they have long hair and when a dog fights a coon it comes out in patches I would know my dog has killed multiple coons and my barn cat has fought a few coons as well. Plus like he said it started off as little bites guess what happens if the dog isn't corrected properly the dog after a while will full on attack the other dog regardless if they they live together and have been friendly to each other.

I had a smaller dog with the same injuries to her mouth and chest. My Rottweiler/Border collie cross had the same facial bites and leg bites. The fact that Earl was up under the porch also makes me think the racoon, or possum, ran under the porch and Earl followed it cornered it and that when the worst injuries occurred.

    I think getting Bear fixed is the right call, especially if you are planning to bring in a female for breeding. However I really do think you should consider that it might really not be Bear. Yes he had blood on him but that could of been both from him jumping in on a fight to also be from him trying to check on or comfort Earl. When a dog is hurt, other dogs will usually try to lick or inspect the wounds in their own attempts to help. Considering that Bear only has minor injuries at best, it is more likely that he got the blood from helping or brushing up on Earl. Earl may not be as big of a dog but it is very hard to believe that he wouldn't have ripped a good bit on Bear, beyond just punctures, in a fight for his life.
    Also his behavior a lot of people are seeing as guilt is more attuned to a dog seeking comfort. His buddy possibly got attacked and really badly hurt before being taken away. Poor Bear was more likely looking to you for comfort and assurance that all is ok.
    It really does sound and look like the vet is likely right that some animal attacked Earl.

    A raccoon sounds like a real good possibility, especially when you have dog food out and it's close to winter. Now I think that you should still get bear fixed and settle him down a little bit. It might save your chairs and tires a little more. Plus, it seems like even if this wasn't Bear, that this type of thing was only a matter of time. His reaction to Bear wasn't so strong that it seemed like he was afraid of Bear but it's a possibility. When I saw the wounds on Earl after the vet I was thinking that it really didn't look like a big animal got Earl. A large dog like Bear would have gotten the head and back more. Plus large dogs don't have sharp teeth. They cause a lot of traumatic injuries that you can't really see. A raccoon on the other hand has sharp teeth and can cause a ton of damage to the skin. Either way I think it's smart to get Bear fixed and Earl will make a full recovery. I can really see a raccoon being the culprit at this time though. Feel better Earl ❤

      And even if the vet said it was a raccoon I’ve seen some pretty gnarly dog bites and some that should have been way worse then they actually were. So even if a vet says “it could have been a smaller animal” bear could have just been mad and didn’t mean to do massive damage. If it was a snap over food the legs/face/chest are the first places you’d expect to see dog bites and they don’t always try to kill another dog over their food or do massive damage even tho earl was hurt it could have obviously been wayyyyy worse.

      @@tentamalaska I have raised a number of racoon babies when I was young and they can do a lot of damage to a dog even when they grow up with said dogs. Earl is a young dog who has had little fear on the farm so far. A young dog who could or could not have had his permanent teeth.(don't know only they do) But the real fact is it is all water under the bridge. They feel that for the safety of all the animals that it is best to have Bear fixed as they have no plan to breed him ever, and because they love him and hope that it will help in the long run to protect all the dogs. The ugly truth before the world wide web and in my youth a bad dog was taken out to the wood and shoot no matter how much of a family member it was. Raccoon, Bear or a Goat the Arms family are the owners and made the chose to have Bear fixed.

    The wounds are not what you would get from bear. They would be deep puncture wounds mostly to the neck area. Raccoons attack the face and front legs which is what you have here. My cane corso engaged a racoon and stopped when it became 3 on 1. On both dogs. I have known dogs that don't pay any attention to each other come to the others defense when it is attacked by another dog or animal. Bear is a guardian dog and thinks that way. He may snap at a playful puppy but I am pretty sure he did not hurt him. I think you are projecting way too much and not looking at the evidence.

      It was a raccoon; NOT Bear. If you go back and look at that video where a raccoon (that you and Houston caught in a trap) attacked Bear. You’ll see the raccoon went for Bear’s face and front lower part of his body, and latched on to Bear good around the mouth before Bella came to Bears rescue. Same injury pattern as Earl has now. Raccoon!!

    It most likely is a raccoon that is how they attack from beneath, your big dog would have gotten him on top by the neck and the punctures would have been very deep. The slashes also indicate claws from the raccoon. Your big dog most likely stepped into it but could have also bit Earl in heat of the attack. When a fight is on, they move fast and can easily bite each other. To prevent future attacks consider keeping Earl inside while you are gone.

      The pup isn't old enough to ideally neuter. You want them to be done growing before you get rid of those hormones. Having 2 intact males is possible (I breed GSPs and have 3 unaltered males). Resource guarding can be any age, gender, breed, etc etc. If you wanna see a brawl, two females will absolutely trump males in the same sex aggression category. There's absolutely a lethal intention when 2 females get after it.

      You can be the best dog behaviorist in the world and still have 2 intact males fight. That's just how their testosterone works. 2 unneutered male dogs will ALWAYS fight. It may not be the first time they meet or the first month but it will happen. This is how dogs keep from interbreeding with each other and keep their species healthy. In a situation where you're not trying to create the most evolutionarily resilient animal it is completely inappropriate to keep them both intact and with access to each other. I'm pretty sure it wasn't bear who attacked him but they both should be sterilized for everyone's safety including their own.
