I was recently on a trip to Ontario, Canada, where I was pleasantly surprise to encounter two beautiful Thai Ridgebacks. Some of you have requested a video on this very rare breed. So I when I saw the dogs I knew I had to film something the these amazing dogs.
The Thai Ridgeback is an ancient landrace of dog, recently established also as a standardized breed. The breed was formerly unknown outside of Thailand, but is gaining notice in the Western world. They are also known as a Mah Thai Lang Ahn.
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 among Thai people 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.
Because of the origin of the Thai ridgeback dog, there are abundant snakes, thus making the bloodline immune to snake venom. And he will bite the snake very cleverly.
🙏🙏🙏🇹🇭❤️❤️❤️🐕🦊
Thais will like two breeds of dogs that are kept for guarding the garden: the Thai Ridgeback and the Bang Kaew.
Thanks for sharing...
Especially about cobra...
I had 7 of these dogs years ago (now only remaining 2). They don't bark, they just bite (strangers) which is very scary. They are protective, agile, and predatory. I remembered when all of them were young, I woke up to see dead snakes every other days not to mention birds, squirrels, mouses, and water monitors (quite common sightings of these creatures since I live in countryside of Thailand).
All in all, they are smart, extremely loyal, and you can always count on them in case of break-in.
Just got a beautiful TR last week from Top King Thai Ridgebacks, a wonderful, highly ethical breeder in Sacramento, CA. We got the pick of the litter because we had missed out on his previous litter, the year before, and really wanted one from his beautiful dam and sire.
This dog is super smart and trainable. Gets a ton of exercise. Was house broken (for the most part) in 4 days. Got used to a leash in a matter of hours. Gets the association of words and acts, so he already knows '''go pee" and "go house" and "go beach". I'm really amazed at how intelligent he is. Granted, my husband and I are artists and have a ton of time to spend with him, so he will rarely be left alone, and that makes him happy.
Socialize has been great. He loves other dogs and is never the aggressor, however if another dog gets aggressive with him, he does not back down, even as a puppy (now 25 pounds/3 months).
If you have the time and the "dog intelligence" then I would highly recommend a Thai Ridgeback as a companion/guard dog.
Was the TR you're first dog?
Seems like most people would not be good match with TR's because of their need for exercise & not being left alone...
I can't stop looking at them, they are absolutley, stunningly, beautiful dogs.
We had a pair of Thai Ridgebacks in Thailand, two of the best dogs I have every looked after. They were the guard dogs, lifeguards at our small resort. Spent hours just sitting by the beach with them. Miss them dearly!!
Thank you for that! We have 2 Thai Ridgebacks here in Vancouver and do not know of anyone else that has them. We have an 8 yr old female and a 14 month old blue male. They are so different, we got her at 6 months and she if very timid around people, but both of them love people. Thank you for confirming the gender aggression, it is so true in our dogs. We train the heck out of our male and luckily his only problem is that he gets too excited meeting people, but he is getting better as he gets older. So great to hear from another owner of Thai Ridgebacks! They are incredible animals..
Brian Herzke I’m from Thailand but currently living in California. I have many Thai ridgebacks growing up. I lived on a farm so at some point we had up to 20 dogs. I also have one right now in the US. I was very nervous too because the breed tendency is a bit more dog aggressive with the same gender but it can be done (still difficult). It’s all about socialization. Over the first 12 weeks, he or she has to have good experience meeting at least 100 different dogs with different breeds, genders, colors, and sizes.
Everything she has said about this breed is true to a tea! I have a female Thai Ridgeback and picked her up in Thailand to be my guardian and companion in the States. As a Thai person, it is wonderful to have a piece of my homeland wherever I go. This dog is a national symbol and is both feared and respected by the people of our country. This owner has done the absolute best to socialize and round her dogs out well. A lot of people don't realize that these dogs are extremely independent thinkers and are not likely to ask for human help in situations. They are affectionate on their own terms and while loyal, they are not likely to be velcro dogs that are always wanting to be glued to your side. When selecting a Thai Ridgeback puppy, it is important you look for good temperament first and foremost if you intend to have your dog live with you in your intimate circle and house. A lot of breeders in Thailand breed for structure and conformation for showing and keep the dogs outside for the majority of the time, so many may be unable to assess what their temperament is like indoors and around the family. That is why their temperament can be 50/50 as explained in the video. Traditionally, this dog in our country is primarily kept outdoors to guard property around the clock and most Thai people don't allow this dog into the inner circle of family life. I hope that new breeders of this breed start selecting for temperament more now that this breed has international fame so that Thai Ridgebacks can be accepted into homes as a part of the family everywhere.
That black dog though! 😍
I have a black thair ridgeback and it is very muscular and athletic as well as energetic and amazing guard dog. Amazing breed!
"We couldn't find any breeders in the local area"...gets a dog from Thailand lol
Well ya majority or breeders are in Thailand or Europe
That's what we like to call a "humble brag".
I think Mr.
Joseph Rodriguez and his upvoters means to make some sarcasm about the belief that All Asian eat dogs, including Thai, which is wrong. Quite simple logic, if they eat dogs, how could this breed along with others like Thai Bangkaew survive for hundred years. Well what they did shows who they are. It shows how well they were raised by their family and how well informed they are, not those Thai.
Damn ad said sexy thai bitches.
@@bend.6091 Thais eat dogs lol
I have never seen or heard about a thai ridgeback before, I like them beautiful dog!
microtechmachineshop I have one
Perfect dog !
I never heard of them before until I saw one in person in Phuket Thailand they are insane guard dogs
I have one he is amazing

Thai Ridgebacks are awesome. I remember being around 14 years old and learning about them for the first time. So intriguing! They're very primitive.
They are primitive,
She really knows her dogs. Great job!
Yeah you can tell the difference between a dog owner and a dog lover
YAY! Finally a video on a breed I had the privilege of owning!!! Good honest information on the breed! Kiva looks exactly like my ThaiKru Joker looked like❤️😍 her was velvet blue coat,like her! Gorgeous dogs! My fav looking breed! Ty for posting this
I'm looking for a pup. Do you know where I can buy from ?
I have dog sanctuary in Thailand and I currently have seven puppies not 100% Ridgeback but tw two are unmistakable to that of a pure breed and their mother I rescued 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, both the female and the male are my two favorites 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.
These dogs are really pretty.
A beautiful dog. The most beautiful one I have ever seen was on an episode of animal watch.
Agree
Thai Ridgeback
Genetic data assumes that the saddle-shaped dog, an ancestor of Thai saddles, is born from the mutation of a normal dog with no saddle Hundreds of years ago in Kingdom of Siam(Thailand). The breed was then distributed to India and Rhodesia at a later time. The origins of the Ari Hottentot (Ari) are from ancient India. Translated as "dog") and dog backside Rhodesian Ridgeback
Note: Thai Ridgeback is one of 2 breeds of Thai national dog. Another species is "Bang Kaew"

Man, you always have such impressive and informational content! There's no other videos like yours. Keep it up, you're doing great. I always get excited when I see a new video up (-: (and your photography/filming is honestly inspiring to me) Thank you for doing what you do
I just saw this for the first time! Beautiful Pupper and Great video! Thank you 🙏 I have a male Rhodesian Ridgeback, male, 3 years old... I absolutely love him! The Thai sounds a lot like the Rhodesians! ♥️ I would definitely consider owning a Thai, as well as as a Rhodesian... maybe not at the same time...unless they grew up as pups together 😂. They are, like Rhodesians, a Stunning breed of dog!!! ♥️
One of my favorite breeds! One day I will buy myself one!
OMG!!! You did it, the Thai Ridgeback, Thanks!
Great video. Interesting to see an old breed like that. Neat dogs.
Dogumentary TV goes international?!? Good job Zeke, thanks for the content
Great great great video! Was searching and waiting for a Thai Ridgeback video with that profissionalism for a long time! Thanks a lot @DogcumentaryTV
Would be amazing if you could produce a video about the Pharaoh Hounds, one of the most rare breed in the world.
Thanks againd and congratilations for your work!
Wow, beautiful dogs!!!
Especially the blue one!!
As a Thai that also keep a TRB, I can only tell you that this kind of dog will toe the line for their whole life. They're quick learner, but only do it when they want to. And unless you can be strict to your dog 24/7, TRB is going to be very handful.
What a beautiful small breed. I bet these would be brilliant at small game hunting and pest control on a farm.
This dogs can use for hog hunting and killing cobras..
Small? The trd is medium sized. If u would see a male whos guarding something or someone, u would shit in ur pants. They are brave as fuck and never back down, no matter what comes.
Good looking dogs.
Thanks for the video ~ nice one.
Thanks, Melissa. I met your friend Terri's dog Hadassah and fell in love with that girl and her story.
Hadassah seems to like me and Terri has been so good to her and me.
Is it just me or do non breeders seem more honest about there dogs than breeders?
Cool dogs, they seem like a mix between the English Bull Terrier and Rhodesian Ridgeback :-) (yes i know this breed is much more ancient).
Actually we are breeders just very honest ones 😊
Ah crap, sorry :-). gotta admit i didn't have the time to see (or hear) it thru but the dogs certainly caught my attention.
Bart Vandenhaute it's called being KENNEL BLIND ;)
I am not saying the breeders in this video are kennel blind, just a lot of breeders seem to be.
Bart Vandenhaute more like a pit cross ridgeback
These dogs were terrific examples of the breed. Animal Planet did an segment on this breed and the dog they used was obese as hell. Looked like a cartoon character that swallowed a watermelon whole.
We thought the same thing!
Never heard about this dog in my entire 30yrs lifetime. Learn something new every day
For anyone interested in this breed please don't go to a breeder. The conditions for shelters in Thailand are terrible and many of these dogs fall victim to the horrific meat trade there. There are rescue shelters in the U.S. that fly to Thailand MONTHLY and bring back 50 dogs at a time who all need homes.
We got the most amazing guy from Homeward Trails Rescue in Virginia. He is so loving and is just dying for attention. He was saved from the meat trade and has all the scars to prove it. Turns out he is a Thai Ridgeback, which was a breed we didn't even know existed! Many others have gotten ridgebacks from the same place.
Please do the right thing and look to rescues first especially for such a special dog with such an awful start.
Thank you
I have lived in Thailand for ten years and these dogs are reasonably common place here.
Great Video, she's right. Thai ridges are very primal dogs, I've got one and she was very hard to own at first. But with a LOT of training she's loyal, make sure their socialized well otherwise other dogs will be hard to deal with. They're beautiful dogs, but don't get one of they're your first dog xD
I live in Thailand. There's a about 4 month puppy in the bushes near my house that I've been feeding. He's a great dog, but he's not really socialized yet. He's a cutie. If anyone wants a regular ass thai dog he'd love a home.
I really love this channel. Thanks for making videos about dogs that are not so common. I'm always trying to learn more about breeds that you don't see walking down the road every day.
I also have a question if someone can help me. Are there any medium size guard/defense breeds? I mean dogs that would really protect the family in case it was needed, but not as big as rotties, german shepherds etc. Thanks in advance.
Malinois are generally bordering on large, being around 50 to 60 pounds. I can't really think of many guarding breeds that are on the small side, since they generally had to be large enough to keep people from considering attacking the family or entering the property in the first place.
malinois normally range from medium to large try looking for the medium ones
that's a lie they eat them down there...they don't use dogs as pets...is there food
oh! didn't know there could be that difference. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for your response! Yeah, that makes sense. I was nonetheless hoping there could be one smaller. XD I'll do research on malinois then! I think the only thing that scares me about them is the high energy level that makes them seem, at least to me and right now, very difficult to handle..?
(Or at least I don't know if it would be more difficult than a Rottweiler. I have a Rottie and aside from her lack of socialization caused by the way she was kept by her breeder I haven't had problems with her)
How in the hell isn’t this channel over 1 million at least, I’m recommending this to my friends ASAP
I have one. She is a fastastic dog. Thai ridgeback is mentioned in a Thai long book(300 years old), they protected a caravan.
Rumours say the King of Thailand has these dogs roaming around in his palace... and while living in Thailand, especially in the North, i've seen many of these roaming around in the streets. The average Thai street dog seems to have some Ridgeback in his blood. If you haven't been to Thailand, then you should go to google images and search for "Thai Street Dog"... you will immediately see the similarities.
This is the smallest of the ridgeback breeds but I still like the rhodesian the best, the other the vietnamese ridgeback is rare,the thai is getting popular now which is good news because there lovely dogs
Beautiful dogs...
Very compact and elegant build.
Fascinating. I had no idea there was other breeds of dogs with the ridge!! I'm gonna deep dive into google to learn more!
There is also a Phu Quoc ridgeback, from Vietnam. They are almost identical to the TRD, but very difficult to export, apparently they frequently die from poor immune systems? But those two are not related in any way to the Rhodesian.
They are so beautiful, love the grey one❤
Beautiful dogs. I never heard of the breed
I was just walking my dog I’ve owned for a year in a half now and someone came up to me and told me she was a Thai ridgeback and I was told originally she was a pit bull/German Shepard. after looking at pics/ watching this video I’m assured she’s a Thai
Has she got the ridge down her back?
Highly doubt
Ross Thompson sorry for the late reply but yes, that’s what made him think so
You're the man. Thank you for this.
In Vietnam, they're called Phu Quoc Island Ridgeback. They have traits similar to the Japanese Akita since they're very loyal. And like the German Pinscher, they also make amazing guard dogs. In present days they're a symbol of wealth since they tend to guard large estates of the rich
Not even five seconds in and I already said outloud oh my god that's a beautiful dog
Bro the dog from Thailand clearly the nicest. Clearly.
I'm hopefully going to get one of these beauties soon for 2,000 :)
Amazing video from an amazing channel, thank you for your work!!! I was wondering if a Pharaoh Hound could be featured in the future? I'd love to see the shots you'd get of such a gorgeous breed!
Very cool, never heard about this breed before.
They’re beautiful but some are really aggressive. One of my neighbors keep 2 and one of them is particularly protective over the lady owner.
I'm in love with this breed 😍
Dumbest dog in world ask any thai, i was there for 6months saw it first hand
@@kalloggs40 what? Obviously u know nothing about this bbreed.U cant be more wrong.
@@kalloggs40 I’m Thai, and they are not dumb, people who don’t understand their nature or characters are dumb.
Reviewed Popcorn but still smarter than you
Keva has the coolest coat iv'e ever seen on a dog.
I love how you do less common breeds, do you think you could do the Blue Lacy in a video? It's known to be able to hunt and herd which I think is amazing so it'd be cool to see a video explaining them in more detail. Anyways, keep making vids, 10/10 cheers!
Incredible dogs!!
Nice you showed a Canadian dog owner 🇨🇦
A dog should not sleep in your bed .I made that very clear to my dog who sleeps in the bedroom on her own bed.Until 3am when a whacking tail against the bed wakes me up too let her up . 6 am and I am almost on the edge about to hit the floor .I dunno.
Lol
you do the best dog videos.. thank you
when the alpha dog is separated from its pack they get anxious because it's unnatural. This is why dogs get separation anxiety when the owner leaves, because in their eyes they are the leader and the owner is the follower. Always remember to be assertive with your dog and establish rules and boundaries with them. That way, you and your dog can have a healthy leader-follower relationship.
Kiba looks so perfect!!!!
I’ve read that the Australian Dingo originated from the Thai Ridgeback. Have you come across this in your research? Beautiful dogs btw. Thank you for sharing.
I can believe that. When trying to describe my TR to someone I often say "It's like living with a Dingo."
In Thailand, there are farms that breed Thai ridgeback dogs. One farm in Trat province will not sell if anyone who asks to buy it doesn't really love dogs.
Beautiful breed
Great video guys thanks for upload..
Great video as always! I hope one day you can do a video on the Blue Bay Shepherd or Tamaskan Dog!
Great vid, unknown breed to me & its was a good watch bruh.
I never ever thought it was a good idea to share a bed with a dog of any size, always figured that should be one of the definite known boundaries for an animal.......still, beautiful dog breed.
Windsor Ont eh? right on homie Zeke!! Ur international now fam 😁, what's this the only breed u got to see while u were out in Ontario? I got my dogo argentino about 1hr east of Windsor, hope to see more dogo videos in the future 😜. Love ur channel and the work u do! Much love and respect from toronto Ont!!
In leamington?

Great Introduction! Thank You X
I love these videos giving me great info
Almost looks like a pit with ears that dont flop
Stunning dogs and I never new they existed, I search for ride back and this came up... Strange that there not recognised in the CKC and AKC as there most probably a much older dog than most recognised breeds... I have a Staffordshire Bull terrier the same couloir as your grey/Blue bitch and was recommended raw diet as he had bad skin problems. I changed him to raw and within two months all the problems were cured... Great content
Kind of looks like a pitbull from the face. Looks good
I'm pretty sure the blue one has bully DNA in it's mix
beautiful dogs and a breed I wasn't aware of. Ive owned a few Presa's and they're definitely a handful.
That was very interesting. Thank-you.
Fantastic breed!! I really like this dog!
I love her honesty
I used to have a red one. His name was น้ำตาล. Man was he a mean dog. Only a few people can go close to him. Very alert, very active, very athletic and very clever. It may be smaller than a pitbull, it makes up for it in wit and athleticism (very agile). Its tail looks like a krabi sword and it much like a dingo, it was a feral dog for so long until very recently. Survival of the fittest
breaking metal chains to stop a cobra slither up a driveway
A breed of dog that can take on a cobra. Now that's impressive.
Justin R Varga any dog can take on a cobra...
1k_JoJo o_O I agree that any dog can take on a cobra but not many can kill a cobra and survive :)
Omg the ears are the cutest thing ever!!
When you say cookies, do you mean regular human cookies like:
Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal, Oreos?
Or Special Cookies Made for Dogs?
If Person Works Typical 9 to 5, plus communting, or say works 10 hr days, 5 days a week...
How could one ensure dog is still getting time, attention, exercise needed?
Or is that type of lifestyle & pace simply not a good match?
Thanks for sharing video...
Good info...
I like Brown / Red Coat...
How could you prevent dogs from mating when dogs are in heat?
Is someone always at home with them?
Is baseball diamond at midnight lit with lights or dark?
What types of activities occur at dog clubs?
I just came across this documentary. I just adopted a Ridgeback in Waterloo, ontario. Im surprised u live in windsor. Kinda close. The human society found a Ridgeback puppy. Excuse the spelling but shes a Rod........ she is obedient, loves other dogs, loves everyone and listens. U make it sound like their hard breeds. If ur consistant in training ur dog its a wonderful breed. I walk her everyday. If i cant walk her because im sick or whatever she doesnt complain. Shes like other dogs but big. Contact me soon. We can swap pictures.
Do you breed?
Such a majestic dog
Beautiful breed, she doing a great job with raw feeding, look at their coats!
Zeke I am getting a Alano Espanol import if it goes through. Fingers crossed I will post a vid, I have also adopted a 2 year old bitch American Bully. 5 dogs at home, need some tips or borrow some money off Brad.
Great video as always bro
I just added a small vid of me picking up my American Bully rescue this weekend.
If anybody is in the UK I maybe in future be looking for a permanent home for her. As much as I would love to keep her I have other dogs on the way. Hit me up if your interested
YourBrother f
Carlo Brigante fuck I thought this shit got deleted wtf
If you feed them chicken feet and wash them with laundry soap their coats stay real shiny .
Very muscular breed.
We raised a TRD, from the breeder that (discovered) brought it to the states in the 1990s. Because it is a primitive breed, it can be tough, misunderstood, and subsequently abandoned. Lots of misinformation in the comment section. 99% of people should not consider caring for this breed, because it is too great a challenge.
Glad to see Canadian breeders too! I'm in Ontario as well. Is there a website for the breeders?
I'm realizing now you are currently in Canada. Any chance for a stop in New-Brunswick? I know its a long shot, its a pretty tiny province, but there are LOTS of dogs here!
In thailand they’re known as the dogs that don’t bark, they only charge you and bite right away lol but they’re really REALLY LOYAL to their owners also
There's definitely some undocumented ones. My kiddo Otis, who I had to put to sleep not long ago (cancer - he was 12), was part thai. Took me FOREVER to figure out that's what it was because they're so rare. Strongly suspect someone was trying to build a fighting dog, though, as his other parts were, best I can tell, staffy and bull mastiff. Fantastic, loyal, brilliant, funny, exasperating dog. He'll be missed.
Please make a video on living with the great danes....
My mate just got one of these dogs
Love this vid! I just found out what breed my dog is! I was thinking mine was a pit mix of some sorts and with the spotted toung has some chow. Now I know,and be everything she says matches mine,. Ty for the info
I used to live in Thailand, whenever I asked the name of this dog it was "local dog". :)
I think what you see are not pure Thai Ridgeback, they are probably mixed but still resemble the Ridgeback. This kind of dog can be found everywhere in Thailand, I live in Thailand and I had one. He was such a charming dog, so sad he passed away in April.
Patrick B Lol😂

You cant tell the differance for shure.
u the man dogumentary tv
I knew someone who thought they had a Rhodesian Ridgeback and I always said “no you don’t” because it was grey and way too small and stout to be a Rhodesian Ridgeback.
I believe 100 percent, after watching this video that it was a Thai Ridgeback. As one can expect with someone who didn’t even know what they had they also didn’t do any of the necessary training with her and she was a scary little dog.
