Thai Ridgebacks as with most Sight-hounds, tend to be rather nervous and high strung. Most are aloof, even suspicious with strangers. They are best suited for owners with a lot of experience of dogs, as they tend to be difficult to train. TRD's need a solid pack leader who is calm and not given to yelling or emotional outbursts. Most Thai Ridgebacks are a little too sensitive to live in a household with small children. And are best suited in calm homes. Thai Ridgebacks are sensitive dogs and do not take well to stress. They respond best with training techniques based on positive reinforcement as this most suits the nature of the Thai Ridgeback harsh training techniques and shouting will not work with them, this will only make them more nervous and is more likely to make them suffer from fear aggression. TRD's are beautiful dogs. However, they are not a breed for everyone. Those looking for an outgoing sociable family dog should look elsewhere. They are great dogs for a single adult or a couple who enjoy some outdoor activity. They do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. And are not yappy dogs and will only bark when necessary. Thai Ridgebacks have moderate exercise requirements, they like to run when outdoors, but are notorious couch potatoes when inside. Care must be taken when exercising your TRD, since they are sight-hounds, they are prone to chasing anything that moves and are gone in a flash! Your backyard must have very high fences, since these dogs are very agile and can jump to great heights without a problem. They have independent and stubborn temperaments, so are slow to learn obedience training even though they are highly intelligent.

That was a question I asked myself many years ago. And I still have been asking this question up until now. Conversely, the answer was in my mind since I was a child.
When I was young, the first pet I knew is a Thai dog. When I woke up in the morning, excluding my mother, father, brothers, and sisters, a Thai dog is another member in my family. And we always had activities together.
The reason was because every Thai family living in countryside owned at least one Thai dog. I always had my Thai dog with me when I played with my brothers and sisters, watered plants, did farming, or went fishing in a canal. Besides the relationship that he was one of our family member, there were great impressions that I never forgot....
Thai children, including me, loved to swim in a canal. We left our clothes on the canal bank and went to play in the water. My Thai dog, which followed me, always guarded our clothes and never let anyone touch it.
When I traveled places, my dog would run in front of me and try to prevent me from any dangers. If I found other dogs, it would run around me trying to protect me from those dogs. One day, there was a woman came to buy fruits at my house. She picked up a "Langsat" (a local fruit of Thailand, looks similar to grapes) from a basket. My dog used its mouth to force her to put the "Langsat" back into the basket. That made us and other people laugh because of his intelligence.
Another job in my village apart from doing a fruit farm was collecting latex from rubber trees. The farmers needed to perform their task in very early morning because the weather was cold, and they would obtain a large amount of latex. They usually brought their Thai dogs with them. That was because the dogs would prevent them from snakes and other harmful creatures.
Thai dogs were very good at fighting with snakes. That may be because they had to encounter many snakes in their lives. One day a farmer went to his farm with his 5 Thai dogs for a usual latex collection. Unfortunately, he found a big tiger trying to attack him. He was so afraid and was not able to escape from the approaching tiger. Suddenly, his 5 Thai dogs came between the farmer and the tiger to protect their owner.
When the farmer could retain his consciousness back, he ran with all of his power and could survive from the tiger. Sadly, his 5 Thai dogs were killed by the tiger for saving their owner’s life. This is the answer that why I love Thai dog: its strong allegiance to its owner, its honesty, and also its great bravery are very rare among people nowadays. But you will find it when you raise a Thai dog.

Thai Ridgeback Dog called in Thai “Mah Thai Lang Aan” is a genuine Thai thoroughbred dog.
Aside from its good appearance, it has many charming habits; especially, it has a very strong allegiance to its owner or raiser. This makes it to be lovable and good in raising qualities. Certainly, the ones who have raised it are experienced and able to confirm the above statements. Charming habits of Thai Ridgeback Dog as its distinguishable traits are as follows:
· Habit of Being in Love of Cleanliness: A Thai Ridgeback Dog, even it is a puppy, has a habit of being in love of cleanliness. For example: if it is in a cage and needs to defecate or to urinate, it will call its owner or raiser to let it go to the place where it regularly uses for passing its water or evacuating its bowels. Sometimes, in case of emergency, it is evident that it will try to defecate and urinate as far as possible from its feeding container and its lodging place. So that you may have an experience of seeing that it tries to pass water through the meshes of the cage.
· Habit of Being in Good Spirits: Thai Ridgeback Dog is normally in good spirits and feels like playing with its owner or raiser rather than the other dogs. It is always very rejoiced if the owner or raiser plays with it.
· Habit of Being in High Cleverness, Domain Possessiveness, and Alertness: So that it is very good for watching your house and other premises even without training
· Habit of Being in Love of Liberty: Because Thai, by word, means either the freedom-loving person or the people having liberation from the control of some other person or some arbitrary power. Nothing is amazed if, sometimes, Thai Ridgeback Dog will feel like playing, chasing, or hunting something rather than paying attention to the order of its owner or raiser, especially the one who has never raised it. This is just only a distinctive illustration of its love of liberty.
· Habit of Being Vigilant and Self-sustained: This makes it knows to avoid vehicles those are in motion including to take refuge, to shelter, and to avoid danger from any stranger, stray dog, and poisonous animals such as snake, and centipede.
· Habit of Being Modest: Normally, Thai Ridgeback Dog does not feel like destroying its owner’s belongings, but it loves. On the contrary, you may once experience that it mouths the newly abandoned socks returning to its owner.
· Habit of Being Lived in a Pack: Thai Ridgeback Dog has set up its domain limits, as its bounds, by emitting pheromone, an ectohormone to convey information about that to other dogs. Once any intrusion upon its bounds is made, the intruder will have an experience of a violent fighting, until the host or the intruder has won. Of course, the intruder but winner is rare. If the intruder is a man, it will warn him against his intrusion by growling; and if the intrusion proceeds, it will not hesitate to charge him fiercely. On the contrary, whenever it goes out-of-bounds it will be rather modest.
· Habit of Being in Less Excitement: Normally, Thai Ridgeback Dog would rather not growl. Whenever it growls or goes on barking, it means that there is any intruder such as a man, a snake, or a certain animal, or any abnormal situation. So that, for the time being, the owner or raiser should inspect around carefully and thoroughly.
· Habit of Being Good in Fighting: Thai Ridgeback Dog is clever in taking care itself from the time it is a puppy till a mature dog. It is a good fighter and clever in fighting either face to face or beset with foes so that it will be hardly wounded. Of course, if making a stand against its foes is impossible, it will run away safely. In face to face fighting, a larger foe is frequently bitten at the thighs until it is fled away. But if the intruder is a thief or a man, his calves, thighs, buttocks, and a gusset are its important targets. |
