Being Thai and used to owned one until she recently passed away at age 14 . Have to say that I never loved a dog more. She is very loyal, very protective of their owner, their home and not overly aggressive at all. I have no problem taking her to a vet or for her to stay at dog hotel. Golum, the dog in this clip, show very similar behaviour to my dog. They will seems worried all the time outside their familiar environment and very watchful even at home. They have exceptionally high prey-drive. I had python invade my home once while my other dogs run away she just charge right in and not letting go. Therefore they are not good with other small animal or smaller dog but very loving with family. I have elderly aunt at home and we never have any issue with her being aggresive to any member of the family.
I lived on koh Chang (Thailand ).I rented a house in the jungle from a Thai family who had 8 Thai ridge back dogs. they used these dogs to hunt. Definitely tough dogs, but the one thing that ruled was a cat called Wan Wan... Not one of these dogs would even think about messing with Wan Wan...
My mom used to have one along with her chowchow. Even though both breed are for guarding, they have different behavior. The chow is protective and would tolerate my childish actions more than the ridgeback. The ridgeback had no nonsense vibe. I tried to play with him when I was little, and I swear he looked at me like I was an idiot.
yeah my grandpa had 3 chowchows,great dogs but aint noone was messing around with em as long as my grandpa wasnt there haha they definetely need a stong hand and every dog that passed by the house growled at by the male chowchow lol
I used to have one, Momo. She was normally a loner compare to other dogs we owned during that time. Then one day my cousins were playing in our garden when a snake came near them when suddenly Momo rushed from her fave resting spot and charged into the snake, killing it. Fortunately the snake wasn’t poisonous but the event shocked everyone. Since Momo was always enjoy the time by herself, no one expect she was also guarding the house. And no one spotted that snake until Momo was fighting it. She lived a long life, too, passing away peacefully at the age of 15.
So glad episodes like this exist to try to persuade people who want a dog just for their appearance to think about what the full package is.. also adorable doggo :)
Absolutely! Extremely important to research this animal for sure. Im in my 60s no way would I be able to handel that dog. His eyes were piercing. Toataly focus'ed.
@Asif Ifas I feel you're mischaracterising what she said somewhat. She was saying that people shouldn't get them just because of the looks, *without* considering the fact that they are a "high maintenance" breed requiring the right living conditions and surroundings, and an owner capable and willing to put in the time and effort needed.
Unlike most dogs, this dog has a extremely strong presence without looking mean. Regardless of it's gender, it's beautiful and handsome, both at the same time.
Once I saw your title I clicked to view right away. I love Thai ridgeback. Mine was just passed last years. She was just 11 yrs old. We were so shocked. The vet said we didn’t neutered her when very young. She was the heart of family. She was so alpha. Wanted to be only one dog in the house we tried to get another dog so she could have sister or brother but never worked. She was very excellent with kids and very so protective of the family and aware of surroundings. She was so active and stay in great shape. People always came to ask us about her how gorgeous she was. I missed my Chichi. Thanks for great video.
I "accidentally" adopted a TRD puppy from the local shelter and was told she was a Labrador mix. As she matured I became aware that my dog was NOT a Labrador or even close. It took me several years to finally figure out what breed she really was. I feel very fortunate to have been the opportunity to know this very special breed.
I encountered this breed of dog before when I was in Thailand, some years ago. They are beautiful, muscular, physical and active. They are also territorial and fiercely devoted to the handler/master. The video reminded me how incredibly beautiful this breed is.
@@Animal-Watch I observed that these dogs are good companions. They often get attached to their owners which is the reason they can be very protective.
This dog is so mysterious and amazingly beautiful, I did not know that such a breed existed. To be honest any dog you own needs to take care of, and they needs to be trained. As usual episode was exciting. And the beginning like from a horror movie. Amazing thank you.
Yes any dog needs to be trained but these dogs are incredibly independent and have a very high prey drive. They don't want to work for you like a Malinois will. The lady in this video has this dog beautifully trained. But she's putting two hours a day I'm too that dog. Not many people have that time
@@Ondine107 you are correct. I and my husband work from home and live at the beach. We spend a LOT of time with our TRB. You have described them perfectly. They are not like Malinois (a breed I love). They are not particularly interested in pleasing you, but they are very loving and, like many other dogs, will protect you to their dying breath.
You girls are standing facing the camera and he is literally watching your back. Scouting the perimeter. I love the dogs agility. If I don't get a wolfdog I'll get this breed
I have the privilege that my neighbour has the Thai ridgeback very beaitufll as we have the normal ridgeback ourselves! The Thai is super sweet he is protective but not aggressive in any shape or form!
@@sunleo6161 That is a big possibility. My TRB is 80% sweet, 20% hellhound. I am very aware of this, and am always on the alert when I walk him. It's a small price to pay for such a wonderful dog.
Every time I walk my TRB I get stopped constantly by people commenting on how beautiful he is..... and they are correct. He's a beauty. But, as mentioned before, they are dogs that require a lot of your time, so if they are left alone for long periods their behavior can be unbearable.
Origin of the Thai ridgeback dog in Trat Province, Thailand The Rhodesian ridgeback originated from the Thai ridgeback. In 1870, Cornelis Van Rooyen, a famous hunter at the time, crossbreed the Thai ridgeback with the Mastiff and Greyhound, after which the breed has evolved over time. eventually became a Rhodesian ridgeback.
@jbuckshot01 I had a Rhodesian as my childhood dog he was the best loved hunting and doing his own thing but super loving and loyal still think about him all the time
Oh wow! Goblin is incredibly handsome!! I love the look of this breed, just majestic! Thank you for shedding light on the responsibility on owning a dog like this!! It's so important to do research prior to purchasing any breed but especially a high maintenance breed. Great video!!
Gobby!!! 🥰🥰🥰 He really is a lovely dog... you should see him in person. I've been watching your shows for ages... can't believe Goblin and Dove got a feature!
I know someone where I live who has two. I've called at their house as part of my job, and they're always very careful to make sure that the pair of them are locked away before they open the door. I don't mind waiting 😄
An amazing dog indeed we've had a few of them when I was a kid..... I'd like to recomend to you do a BANGKAEW dog breed, it is another thai ancient dog breed which even rarer outside of Thailand they are suitable for guard dog and experiences hands only , even though they're might look very cute with their long coat and striking Marks but dont let that fools you .. ps. Love your channel
As a Thai I can confirmed this statement, our dog looks like the one that showed here, orange color, pointy ears and mean looks. He lives two house which brought us , my neighbor and I to know each other. he would walks around the block just to check things up like a stray dog, both our house have a big gate that we need to open for him. It’s just blessed to have him around. The funny part is that when we’re not sure where he is we need to call each other to check if he’s there or not😂
Interesting and quite unknown breed, very rare in France. I've never seen any. This dog has a very canine look, ancient indeed. Thank you for sharing !
My grandma used to have a very cute Thai ridgeback with beautiful red coat. He looked like he was made of copper with his shiny fur. He was mostly friendly except with people who act weird (drunk people), wear black jackets or drive black cars. This breed is very smart . I remember the dog walked to get snacks from a store near the house and made my grandma paid after him😂🤣🤣. If you raise them with a lot of socialisation, they have potential to become family dogs, good with kids and strangers.
The Thai Ridgeback, according to my aunt's experience of owning them, is extremely very protective of his/her owner. Extremely loyal and watchful, he/she is well-known for protecting Thai homes from cobra invasion. My aunt's Thai Ridgeback had killed two cobras over the past ten years when he found the snakes lurking in my aunt's home garden, he was bitten as a result but he only had a fever because of the venom and he did not die. According to his vet, this particular breed has very strong immune system that protects them from cobra's bites. It is truly an amazing dog breed.
I agree. Have rescued several from parvo and all 4 lived with IV support and only one got to the bloody poop stage. They definetly have some sort of higher understanding as their love/loyalty is awesome.
Yep. I live in Thailand. I've heard of snakes killing them but these dogs have definitely benefitted from facing this common foe for years. Thai dogs live like cats too, most kept outdoors, they need to be. They're jungle dogs.
Great show! I have never heard of the Thai Ridgeback. What an informative introduction to such a regal, handsome creature. The history of this breed is fascinating. And thank you, once again, for being an advocate for this breed and being honest about what types of families and homes this dog would thrive in. And just because this dog is beautiful and mysterious does not mean everybody needs one like the latest, trendiest handbag. They are not an accessory to an outfit. They are living breathing creatures that should be loved and respected. ~❣️
I have a Thai Ridgeback and two kids one 9 month old and the other almost 3 years old, they are totally fine together, my daughter keeps playing with him all day and he has never tired to harm her, I also have lots of people coming in and out of my house and he has never tried to bite anyone although he never stops barking at them even if he knows who they are, he even barks at me before he actually knows its me coming though, my dog acts first and thinks later.
Never knew about this breed, my huskymute watches your vids too.Sometimes he wines and growls at the TV. Today he just sat motionless. His favorite is still Keyush though 🦊👍🙂
Considering the link between South Africa and South East Asia over the the past couple of hundred years with companies like the Dutch East India Company, I could see almost a hint of the Rhodesian Ridgeback here too. Seems like there is a little shared DNA.
My ex introduced me to the Thai Ridgeback. And her dog chica is the fastest dog I've ever seen topping my old Labrador who is clocked at 45 mph up against the mustang 5.0 which would race down the street neck and neck and she would cut across the end of the street to ensure that she won the race every time she'd hear the engine coming around the corner she gear up drop everything and it would be a race to the end of the block, of course she would take the grass and tear it up at the end when she won strutting her stuff and ripping at the grass letting everyone know that she was the victor. Top dog to have and I am dedicating my free life to owning Vexaire and Voltaire which are soon to be purchased as soon as I head over to Thailand and get their papers after a nice vacation. Importing the dogs is about $1,000 more than buying them here because they have to have their papers and there are shots before entering the United States however you can chalk that extra money up as saved because you will have the option of purchasing the pups at a cheaper rate than you can buy them here which is around $3,000 a pup Plus you get a vacation out of the deal so I highly recommend going abroad if you are from the United States. We plan to get a blue and Isabel for AKA blonde and breed them. This will be my first experience breeding dogs and I plan to have RUclips to help me. We will be documenting everything on this channel
Thai ridgebacks are extremely territorial, with both people and dogs. They dont’t do well with cats or smaller animals, as they have a very strong prey-drive. They are also very intelligent and could be quite independent. It is. In the history of their breed. They were half working, half professional flâneurs back in the days. They typically don’t have a lap-dog temperament, but they’re extremely loyal and could be quite protective. They love their owners and would do anything to protect them. But I’m sure they could be up for cuddles though, its just that the Thais aren’t very cuddly people by nature and hence they didn’t do that much with this breed.
We have a dog that our daughter rescued from the street in Thailand as a puppy and brought back(Sweden). He is a mix of some kind, but he has many of the traits being described in the video and others that I recognize. The paws(very different from our other dogs), the front legs being curved inwards, the big powerful chest, and being very protective. Also very independent and staying away from the rest of the pack. Interesting to see the dog in the video.
i living in thailand,and i love this dogs,i have 5 dogs from the street,and two have the mama of ridgeback,its a very good dogs ,good hunter,hunting snake in the garden,and save me and the house,and very frendli
I did the nails on one back in the 90's, in Nj. She was the 1st import into the USA. To this day, she stays in my mind. Her owner was a bit of a snob. LoL She was lovely.
I‘ve got a Thai Ridgeback since 11 Years - met him on the Street in Thailand when he was a puppy, and adopted him after 3Weeks constantly following me without feeding him ... He made the choice, not me 😂 These Dogs are unbelievable ❤️ Amazing ❤️
Should do a episode on the Korean Jindo. They have a fascinating story. They are from the island of jindo. I used to have one an he was a beautiful boy, but like this dog a highly speciality dog. also were extremely rare here in the United States.
We have three generations of them. Royal Fierce Protective. Now we only have one left. Sadly we can’t keep the bloodline for more. We love them so much because they protected us all.
My grandma had one of these. He literally jumped and snatched a bird mid-air. I was little, but I always fed him with bones I collected to feed him when I went over my grandma’s. My parents wouldn’t let me pet him, but I always secretly did when I deeded him. My grandma was old school so she allowed him to go out, but he would always return. One day he returned heavily bruised and our neighbors said he got jumped by a bunch of other dogs. They said he was greatly outnumbered, but he never stopped fighting. He died after that from the wounds. They are one of the most loyal dogs; and tough as a nails. I miss him every time I see one.
Very impressive dog! Must be proud to own such a strong and proud dog, full of confidence. Thank you Anneka for your amazing story's you give us about animals. Love you from my heart.🙋♂️♥️♥️
I used to have a dog that was similar to him. Spike was a Shar-pei, Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. Very mellow, LOVED cats, very bull-headed. Loved the family, but was wary of strangers.
Stunning breed don't know why they aren't more popular with responsible experienced owners. All dogs are a privilege to own & it's true many large breeds need more training & handling for the benefit of the dog,, their family & public. GORGEOUS 💕

I have one, they’re crazy
My neighbour used to have one just like in the video, he was able to jump on an almost 2 metres wall, definitely crazy.
Awesome
The dog looks like he can protect his owners from evil spirits too😄

Oh my gosh. I'm convinced my resuce dog is part Thai Ridgeback. they intense eyes are the same and she has many of the traits.. wow!!
I'm thinking the same about my rescue.... Perhaps mixed with a little terrier or lab. He's such a unique and great dog.
Unlike most dogs, this dog has a extremely strong presence without looking mean. Regardless of it's gender, it's beautiful and handsome, both at the same time.
And look at how always is he on vigilance. The girls are talking, the dog is on guard, searching and detecting surrounding threats.

When I lived in Thailand I rarely got to see this breed. They are rare even in their homeland.
Wow really? 😳
@@Animal-Watch Yes, The Thai Ridgeback are quite expensive and too aggressive, That's why they are rare even here.
yep, Thai people hardly raise this breed. They prefer Thai Bang kaew (บางแก้ว) more than Thai ridgeback.
Thats because they raise them to eat them once they are bigger, like the chinese.
@@abe9090 you are confused, Thai do not eat dog, chinese and vietnamese does.

I own a Rhodesian ridgeback here in the states he was abandoned when he was a puppy. Such a big loyal gentle giant
@jbuckshot01 I had a Rhodesian as my childhood dog he was the best loved hunting and doing his own thing but super loving and loyal still think about him all the time
The gene that causes the ridge has been inherited from a common ancestor:
The other existing breeds of ridgeback dog are the Rhodesian Ridgeback from Africa and the Phu Quoc Ridgeback from Vietnam,

They are same line right, I mean both have that particular flipped coat on the spine
My ex introduced me to the Thai Ridgeback. And her dog chica is the fastest dog I've ever seen topping my old Labrador who is clocked at 45 mph up against the mustang 5.0 which would race down the street neck and neck and she would cut across the end of the street to ensure that she won the race every time she'd hear the engine coming around the corner she gear up drop everything and it would be a race to the end of the block, of course she would take the grass and tear it up at the end when she won strutting her stuff and ripping at the grass letting everyone know that she was the victor. Top dog to have and I am dedicating my free life to owning Vexaire and Voltaire which are soon to be purchased as soon as I head over to Thailand and get their papers after a nice vacation. Importing the dogs is about $1,000 more than buying them here because they have to have their papers and there are shots before entering the United States however you can chalk that extra money up as saved because you will have the option of purchasing the pups at a cheaper rate than you can buy them here which is around $3,000 a pup Plus you get a vacation out of the deal so I highly recommend going abroad if you are from the United States. We plan to get a blue and Isabel for AKA blonde and breed them. This will be my first experience breeding dogs and I plan to have RUclips to help me. We will be documenting everything on this channel
Thai ridgebacks are extremely territorial, with both people and dogs. They dont’t do well with cats or smaller animals, as they have a very strong prey-drive. They are also very intelligent and could be quite independent. It is. In the history of their breed. They were half working, half professional flâneurs back in the days. They typically don’t have a lap-dog temperament, but they’re extremely loyal and could be quite protective. They love their owners and would do anything to protect them. But I’m sure they could be up for cuddles though, its just that the Thais aren’t very cuddly people by nature and hence they didn’t do that much with this breed.
We have a dog that our daughter rescued from the street in Thailand as a puppy and brought back(Sweden). He is a mix of some kind, but he has many of the traits being described in the video and others that I recognize. The paws(very different from our other dogs), the front legs being curved inwards, the big powerful chest, and being very protective. Also very independent and staying away from the rest of the pack. Interesting to see the dog in the video.
i living in thailand,and i love this dogs,i have 5 dogs from the street,and two have the mama of ridgeback,its a very good dogs ,good hunter,hunting snake in the garden,and save me and the house,and very frendli
I did the nails on one back in the 90's, in Nj. She was the 1st import into the USA. To this day, she stays in my mind. Her owner was a bit of a snob. LoL She was lovely.
Those ancient breeds are so beautiful
I‘ve got a Thai Ridgeback since 11 Years - met him on the Street in Thailand when he was a puppy, and adopted him after 3Weeks constantly following me without feeding him ...
He made the choice, not me 😂
These Dogs are unbelievable ❤️
Amazing ❤️
Hey how are you doing?
He's absolutely stunning
Never seen this breed or even heard of it, I’m in love amazing
Whoever owns it can be proud. You always have good things by your side.🐕👍👏
We need these dogs to appear in movies. They've got so much character.
He he yes 👍

The quick shots and slo mos of the dog were forboding, but the real time shots were of the bestest boy
These dogs are so beautiful, I wonder if they are related to the Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
They are 🙌
Ridgies of all kind are the best dogs ever! But I am biased 😍
@@Animal-Watch but where is the ridge???
amazing looking dog. Looks like a cross between a king corso and a american bully but beautiful dog this lady has and seems well trained
Goblin looks like a living statue. What a handsome boy!
I'm so proud of Thai ridge back dog. I have one and she is right next to me now. 😘😘❤️❤️❤️
Looks like a Pit Wolf. This one I would actually love.
The Ridgeback really looks ferocious. Moreover it was on duty when they were conversing. Informative 👍👍
Had a neighbor with one in Las Vegas of all places. He was a great dog. Sort of gentle giant
Should do a episode on the Korean Jindo. They have a fascinating story. They are from the island of jindo. I used to have one an he was a beautiful boy, but like this dog a highly speciality dog. also were extremely rare here in the United States.
We have three generations of them. Royal Fierce Protective. Now we only have one left. Sadly we can’t keep the bloodline for more. We love them so much because they protected us all.
He’s beautiful, I love him!😍
I am Thai people when I was little human to go my school have to walk past my neighborhood that have 4 dog like this.
Beautiful episode! Wilst thou soon mayhaps do a dual Newfoundland/Labrador Retriever show detailing the neighborly bred breeds?
Hi newfoundland coming really soon 🙌
I've fallen in love with this dog. What a handsome boy!
My grandma had one of these. He literally jumped and snatched a bird mid-air. I was little, but I always fed him with bones I collected to feed him when I went over my grandma’s. My parents wouldn’t let me pet him, but I always secretly did when I deeded him. My grandma was old school so she allowed him to go out, but he would always return. One day he returned heavily bruised and our neighbors said he got jumped by a bunch of other dogs. They said he was greatly outnumbered, but he never stopped fighting. He died after that from the wounds. They are one of the most loyal dogs; and tough as a nails. I miss him every time I see one.
What an incredible story. They do have a huge prey drive
Those eyes pierce through your heart....
Goblin: "It's over Anneka! I have the high ground!"
He he yes 🙌
@@Animal-Watch no please stop
Don't try it!!!!
Very impressive dog! Must be proud to own such a strong and proud dog, full of confidence. Thank you Anneka for your amazing story's you give us about animals. Love you from my heart.🙋♂️♥️♥️
Thankyou 🙏
@@Animal-Watch Is me shall say " thank you" but thank you Anneka so much for your feedback. Love and deep respect.🌹♥️
The black Thai Ridgeback looks like a panther from a distance
Ha ha do you think? 😊
@@Animal-Watch Yeah, look at the picture at 1:55
@@jase6709 Man, swear down I had the same thought 👌
I'm pretty sure Panthers just look like these things from a distance, lol.
I got TRB dog,สุนัขไทยหลังอาน after watched your channel, she's Petchdee, 8 month and she'samazing dog, smart, feeling like Ihave best friends ang familly , Thank you from Thailand.
Love this boy. Very mysterious and quite adorable. :)
I used to have a dog that was similar to him. Spike was a Shar-pei, Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. Very mellow, LOVED cats, very bull-headed. Loved the family, but was wary of strangers.
Goblin! best name ever! and oh, what a STUNNING boy! 🤍
Love Him!!!
I would like to see Thai Bangkaew Dog next time Pls.
they are closely related to the Phu Quoc ridgeback dog in Vietnam .Stunning fiercely loyal dogs .They can sell for up to $20k each
Both new breeds to me
Beautiful breed. It looks mysterious and solemn
Wooow I newer know that kind dog..... I lovet..
Regards Lasse from Finland
Stunning breed don't know why they aren't more popular with responsible experienced owners. All dogs are a privilege to own & it's true many large breeds need more training & handling for the benefit of the dog,, their family & public. GORGEOUS 💕
It's a very particular breed. In reality i prefer czechoslovakian wolfdog and german shepherd!
I saw a wolf dog once. It was awesome.
Funny seeing the Ghostbusters bit, that's what I thought of seeing the dog at the start.
Tho the music, I still find them cute. Dogs are cute, no matter what bgms
