    One of my friends used to have a gorgeous black Thai Ridgeback. Absolutely stunning; hands down the most beautiful, stoic dog I've seen. My friend had to be careful about who was allowed over since the dog didn't take kindly to everyone. I was fortunate enough to be accepted.
    One day, I decided to check one of my hypotheses and "test" the dog. I was sitting on a couch, dog relaxing next to me. I start thinking of some anxiety-inducing things and can feel a slight panic well up inside me. I didn't say a word, didn't change my posture or anything. Within seconds, the dog picked his head up, looked at me, and growled. I immediately put those thoughts away, and the dog resumed his nap. It was mind-boggling. The slightest imperceptible change in attitude or demeanor could set the dog off. I have never met a more intuitive breed.

    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.

    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 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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I have dog sanctuary in Thailand and I currently have seven puppies, not 100% Ridgeback, but two are unmistakable to that of a purebred but will be smaller. I rescued their mother after she was covered in ticks and about to give birth in the woods. I know a purebred is what everyone likes but if you can find it in you, there are five boys and two girls and they have awesome personalities. They were born February 5th and usually I can go around advertising to give them away to good homes, but because of the Coronavirus lockdown I have nowhere to take them and I have 22 already from previously saving them from almost certain death. I do this all on my own and I am always scraping by and 7 more going to be so much harder as I'm already separated into three sections of my land and even then there is an occasional scuffle. I would ship it to the United States as it is very easy and I would pay for it if it wouldn't be convenient for you but it's only $300 average. If you if you would like to see the pictures or anything please let me know if not no big deal. And yes they do have done spiked fur down their back and they had beautiful silky short hair and are hyper in play and also in affection but are truly awesome, I only want them to have the best chance at a great life and although I could love them and be with them is only one of me and I have so many so many and yeah it's really sad for me but I know I know they could have more attention but they deserve because their so loyal . Thank you.

      @@jamsaidemelo1367 Well, I moved here 18 years ago when I was 20 from Wisconsin. I had to bottle feed these guys and they have been by my side like 18+ hours a day since that were born so I don't really want them to go to a Thai person, as 90% of them don't go out of their way to vaccinate or give flea, dewormer, etc and I just know that within a year at least 4 won't be alive and possibly more. Even then usually low quality as most are left with parasites and never allowed indoors.
      Really sad too as vets are insanely affordable and so much experience with major diseases. parvo treatment is less than $30 and if treated immediately always survive. $ 100's -$1,000's in USA and very fatal.
      Mind you there are some Thais, small minority, that are great.owners. often I would find European, american retirees or residents as they have a better chance.
      Thanks for your suggestion and my sister and mother will ask some of the many people they know. If not all, I will find someway to accommodate them. : )

    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.

    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 live in Cambodia, and the breed has definitely migrated here. We have two ridgeback farm dogs. Their coat is a bit longer, and they are light brown in colour, but they look much like that one. They are fairly common in the rural communities. Ours are big babies with us, but very protective. They are outstanding at hunting rats and mice, but they never touch the chickens or ducks. Never a problem with kids, as they just avoid them, but would face down a tiger to protect them. Superb dogs.
