I’m with the group that says Bear helped Earl. My bro had the same type of dog. He would have killed Earl if he “got that aggressive”. Would not shock me if Earl ran into a raccoon and got attacked and Bear came to his defense. Give him some credit. He has not a mean bone in his body
Agree that it wasn't Bear!
So if he rips a coyote apart protecting goats.... im pretty sure he is mean AF!
@@lynettehartung8862 And that is why it couldn't have been Bear that attacked Earl. Based on his experience, if Bear had of been the one to attack Earl there would not have been enough left of Earl or the time for him to crawl under the porch.
It's not often that I am unhappy with one of your vids, but this one, I definitely am. Whether Bear attacked Earl or not, it is common sense not to have two entire male dogs in one household. I am very pleased that you are neutering Bear. Hopefully, his hormones will calm down quickly, although this can sometimes take around 8 weeks. Sending Earl lots of love and wishing him a speedy recovery.
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.
I'm upset, bcs, why would they leave them outside if they were gonna be gone for several hours. Especially a small dog like him. It's only common sense to keep your dog inside when your gonna be gone for several hours.
Plus, why ITH, are you hear making a video and asking him if he's alright. When you should be at the vet with him? UNBELIEVABLE!
Poor Earl & Bear 💞🐕💞🐕 Hope they heal up fast and feel better soon.
I'd start using your security camera's for the house that you showed us a while ago, poor Earl hope he makes a full recovery and I hope it wasn't Bear that attacked him I hope he was defending him from another animal.
i WOULD DEFFINATELY CHECK ALL VIDEO FROM AROUND THE HOUSE.
Raccoons are vicious and will attack for no reason.
@@juanitaziegler8472
Especially if they too were eating the dog food. Coons are very aggressive with food as well.
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.
That’s what I thought when I saw the blood on Bear’s face.
Doesn't explain the damage to Earls teeth. That's weird, Bear would have not just snapped him with no other injuries to his mouth. I agree with the vet the cuts don't look to have been from a big dog. Something got up close and slashed Earl. My money is on a coon.
You’ve never seen good aggression. It’s not about killing. It’s about biting to get the other dog to back off so you can eat first. If no one backs down it’s s lot of snapping at the face beck legs. Raccoons have claws and leave king multi claw marks. Small, congested bits as the have smaller teeth. Not punctures. That docile nature earl was showing is submissiveness. If he was attacked by a raccoon he wouldn’t be submissive. That’s his way of insuring bear knows he’s not in the fight.
Yea I agree
Good evening to Arms Family Homestead and all others too. I'm glad you did find him, i hope everything is ok. To much love to let go, Bear probably got injured from saving Earl from another dog or maybe coyote.
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.
Poor Earl, praying for a speedy recovery.
We have an intact Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix and he’s huge and three times he has gone after our smaller male yellow lab (neutered) and savaged his neck. We never leave them together anymore when we’re not home. They really do not like each other and growl often. We love them both so we’re keeping them both.
Aww poor Earl. Lovely Lovely little guy, good he has u.
Good for you! I bet this will take care of this issue. Sounds like Earl was lucky to survive...thank goodness you hunted him until you found him.
My first time watching your channel and I’m so sorry to hear about what happened to Earl. Reading from the comments the majority of commenters seem to believe it was a wild animal and not your other dog but an owner knows there dogs and cats so I believe what you believe happened, happened. It’s sad and I hope Earl makes a full recovery and that you find a solution to keeping the peace between Bear and Earl .
God Bless Earl...get better Earl.!
aww poor Earl!! My goodness.. wonder what he had a run in with. He just looks so sad.. head hanging. Poor lil guy!! He's such a lovable lil pup!! The Vet will fix him up.. give him meds including pain meds so he can relax and rest. Prayers for a speedy recovery from surgery for Earl!! Hope the surgery helps him. Check security cameras to see if you see anything. I sure hope it wasn't Bear that he fought with. 🙏🙏
Awwww poor bear he looks guilty and he seems sorry. Hugs to him too
Awe get better soon earl.
Poor baby, I hope once to get Bear fixed that there will be peace on the Arms farm
Man flu!! 😂😂😂 I never got sick that my husband didn’t get sicker! Good one, DJ!
Oh my !!!!!
Did Earl get out of the house ???
I've provided 38 years Non Profit Private Animal Rescue.....poor little guy ! ❤
Watch closely for infection....fyi, his posture in vehicle and not laying down is serious pain :(:( .....the arched back also had me concerned....
Are you sure it was not a wild animal ?? ....that would also trigger Bear to protect and jump in.
Understanding dog behavior is crucial. This is a good example of preventable situations.
Well ....without it having been witnessed, there's no knowing what happened for sure. ....??
Two things are for certain......and I say this out of Love ...and MUCH experience.....
1. Earl , for whatever reason, should not have been outside, unprotected, ... and his size makes him more vulnerable to many dangers.
2. You stated you've noticed aggression prior to the incident. That means Red Flags were not taken seriously.
Again, ....Love and Blessings to you all, .....but coming from an Animal Trainer, .....the Fault.......is really on you.
I know nobody wants to hear that, but with a soft reassuring voice if you could hear me, I'm making a common, truthful observation 🙏
You seem like wonderful people, ..... I just think you may have learned a very valuable lesson.......and by sharing this video, you educate others, ....and that is the positive that comes from all this.
Again, ...with love, .....Bless each of you.
So sad Earl.❤ he is so sweet. What kind of dog is he?
I think Bear protected Earl from may be a coyote or worse. I don't think he did all this to Earl. I think Nutering both is the answer here.
You can see Bear did it! Look at 20:57! He didn't want to come outside & was backing up when he seen Bear!! I have 2 males labs not fixed & I've had to keep them separated 24 7 for over the last year! When one is in the cage, the other one is out then we keep rotating.
They fought 4 times & idk if it was from my female being around even tho she was fixed. (She's no longer here, sadly had to put her down this last May) or it's from dominance. The first fight was next to the food bowl. I had mom, dad & son. Its not easy keeping them separated but the dad is almost 13 & can't handle that stress. His son is almost 9.
My first thought is a raccoon. I just don’t believe Bear would do that to Earl. Brotherly scuffle, yeah, but not the leg and teeth thing. I feel so bad for Earl, though. Bless his baby heart! A raccoon attacked our Pitt/Boxer and practically ripped his face off.
How is your dog❓🌹💔🀄🛐🛐🛐
Yeah, that's what raccoons do to dogs. If Earl has tooth and face injuries, those came from a raccoon tearing away with his sharp claws, not from a bigger dog.
Unfortunately, Cheeno passed away last year due to old age and liver problems. Miss him dearly. Thank you for asking.
Get an outdoor video camera to watch your pups.
Bear knows he did bad bc Earls gone. He's very nervous about what happened. Once neutered, they'll be fine.
So sorry about Earl.
Don’t let the dog alone on backyard,anything might attack him
I'll keep you in my prayers
You definitely didn't have to do a "Dutch style" clickbait title for this video. Earl is certainly lucky to be alive. I agree that it was most likely Bear. He was acting a little too guilty. I'm sure he'll make a speedy recovery and I agree that it's time for Bear to get neutered. Maybe in the future you should keep Earl and Gemma in the house (with some puppy pads out) when no one is home to watch them.
They didn't get a new puppy a friend did. Otherwise I agree lol.
@@SagebrushRambles thanks for correcting me on that. I'll edit my original post. 😃😉
IT SHAME HE LOOK FUNNY WITH HIS HAIR CUT BUT AT LEAST HE ALIVE, IT NOT BEARS FAULT EITHER, HOPE HE GET BETTER SOON GOD BLESS YOU ALL
I know you may never see this, but I am adding my 2 cents worth. As a former vet assistant, I would be inclined to believe, based upon Earl's wounds, that Earl may have gone after a racoon that was eating his food. It has been my experience that when a large dog attacks a smaller dog enough to create that kind of bruising, without human intervention to break up the fight it does not end well for the smaller dog. However, if Earl defended his food bowl against a raccoon which in turn fought back it is possible that Bear tried to intervene and may have accidently injured Earl. It is also possible depending on the size of raccoon both dogs could have been injured by one raccoon. My personal mastiff mix dog took out a raccoon that was fighting the other two dogs over their food bowl. Fortunately, only the raccoon suffered in that melee. My big dog grabbed him by the back of his head and shook him for all he was worth. He broke his neck. Having said that my other two dogs are both in the 50 pound range and wouldn't take on that 25 pound coon. Now, having Bear neutered is your decision and it is a good one for a number of reasons. I am glad that Earl will survive.
Poor little guy, so very sad. You can tell he's not feeling well at all. Are you sure Earl wasn't attacked by a coyote?
Poor Earl. Our 130lb make Great Dane mix Rowdy and our 130lb male American Bulldog Brasi got along for the first 4 months. Then one day when we were at work they got into a fight. Rowdy almost Killed Brasi. The Wife, right off the bat, blamed Rowdy and wanted to get rid of him. Later we found out Brasi was the aggressor. Moral of the story, don't jump to conclusions.
Brasi was eventually adopted by a Trucker and is accompanying the Trucker on his runs. So it is a happy ending for both dogs
Walk Bear near Earl watching for a reaction should tell all.
You sure i.t wasn’t your dashund? Our mini is awfully aggressive against our big Pitt Mastiff and bites at her. Luckily she just puts her paw on his head and holds him back.
i have cameras around my house for stuff like this
Awe.
I mean, I love poodles but.. now we have a 120 lbs Ridgeback and a big European Doberman, our awesome old black groodle would have been well out of his league even though he grew to 80 lbs. They are all heart, but not much else. Also, the haircut, I used to spend 1.5 hours with the clippers. Ha ha. Not saying I wouldn't love a Saint Berdoodle
Glad Earl is going to be ok I had My granddaughter pit bull while she was having my great grandson I just took her. Back home I had to stand watch over her and our beagle she wanted all the food I guess all this comes with having different breeds it will all work out maybe bear didn't do this (maybe)
Daniel don't you think it was a coon that did this?? Bear was most likely a hero and actually saved Earl. .. Speedy recovery.. God Bless.. prayers sent for speedy recovery..🇺🇸🌹❤️🙏🙏
Maybe Bear was protecting Earl from a coyote or something.
Wow, accusing Bear without proof? Animals clean each other and lay on each other...hence the blood???
I do not believe Bear hurt Earl. A faint bit of blood does not make him guilty. I am crying for Bear. If you didn't see it happen, how do you know?
He is such a good dog! No whining or growling when you touch or go near his wounds! God bless him and hope all goes well!
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.
Hope so !
I agree so much
Raccoons can get vicious. Although, the raccoon is only protecting his own life at that point..
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.
Earl's behaviour around Bear would be what I would look for.
If Earl were mine I’d keep him in the house .
agree, and have Earl fixed also .
He is in the house dimwit. He's not a farm dog per se.
I totally agree. Unless they take him out to do his business he should be kept inside.
I completely agree. I believe they're both victims of a wild animal attack.
@@gingerbaker4579 Hateful..
Looks like legs were the target. Dogs go for other areas in fights. And the size of Bear vs . Earl, a heck of a lot more damage to skin around neck, shoulders and sides. I am a former Vet Tech, and have seen the big dog vs smaller dog damage before. So...raccoon. betcha!!
And Earl is soo pathetic. Awwww!!! He's going to be very sore for a day or 4. (He'll be fine. Going after treats is a wonderful sign.)
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.
Great point and If it was a raccoon, I hope Bear tore him up and put him in the smoker. Stupid racoon, hurting the little guy Earl.
If Earl went straight to his back in a submissive posture then yes the chest area would receive bites.
@@SagebrushRambles
if Earl whent on his back bear would stop.
Dogs bite the face of other dogs. Jesus.
Excellent comment! I, too, think Bear did not attack Earl
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.
That’s a stretch! Daniel knows his dogs!!
@@rodneyferris4089 Not so sure.
You're the first so far to back Daniel.
Poor Bear. He deserves better than a Dad taking sides while Bear is indeed the saviour.
May that racoon teach the Dad and Earl a good lesson some day.
Bear did it
I really don't think think that Bear attacked Earl..... I think it was (as the vet said) a raccoon and not a big dog...... if Bear was to attack him there would be much more damage to Earl. I've had cats that got attacked by raccoons and they will do some damage to a small(ish) animal. just my 2 cents worth ..... glad he'll be ok.
I agree with you 100%. Bear is a big dog with a big mouth, Earl's injuries would have been way worse if Bear did it!!
Vets are very in tune with injuries sustained by racoons vs injuries sustained by dog fights. But heck, why blame a raccoon when someone has decided it was bear without proof. Emotional tantrum because a house dog was left outside and got seriously injured.
My first thought was racoon. I don't think Earl would make it through an attack by Bear. Multiple bite wounds and the skin cut/ tear sure sounds more like racoon than a big dog. Pretty sure Bear would have broken or crushed bones. Either way, having to intact males can certainly be a territorial challenge!
I agree with you completely.
Bear has a Big mouth. I believe if it had been Bear the damage would have been so much worse than it was.
I agree with you he wouldn’t make it if it was bear.
Big dogs generally go for the neck of smaller dogs and as most of Earl's wounds were more underneath his body, I'm thinking a fat racoon attacked Earl and Bear was a hero. Glad Earl is on the mend; hope Bear doesn't hold a grudge over loosing his bits.
I think God that Earl is OK he’s such a cutie I just pray that he will have a fast recovery.. Bear just doesn’t seem like the type of dog that would do something like that I believe a raccoon came around there and attacked Earl and bear was trying to help Earl and I guarantee you one thing if that is the case I guarantee you that raccoons laying up there in the woods somewhere dead because I think bear thinks he’s there to protect all the animals….
Agreed! Also bear was whining at Earl he did not look aggressive, nor did Earl hide behind his Mamma. Wish they could talk
I don’t think Bear did it I agree with the gentleman so good been in cooler something you need to do some more checking in your woods
I think there was a raccoon involved. They will attempt to kill dogs and cats if they feel threatened. Raccoons can be downright mean. Check out how they behave when they are together.
Bear is there to protect all the animals that's the only reason they have him
Daniel, I understand the way you see it and that is one scenario, but my first thoughts were that a large male raccoon attacked Earl and Bear came in trying to get the coon off Earl. Inadvertently in this struggle, Bear may have mistakenly bit Earl while trying to get the coon.
I believe if it had been Bear the injuries would have been way worse on Earl. Bear has a really big mouth.
Bear is taking the blame for this because they failed to house Earl when they left, a d they want someone to blame. Bears going to get snipped to placate angry feelings, but what's going to happen is they find a big dead coon lying around afterwards?
Daniel,
I think the raccoon is what happened and Bear protected his buddy. I think Earl hid under the deck because the raccoon was out for the food in their bowls.
Question, do you think neutering Bear will decrease his ability to protect the animals as he should?
A raccoon was my first thought when Daniel said Earl had been attacked especially since there has been other raccoon attacks before over dog food
It doesn't decrease Bella's protecting Bear when Bear was attacked by a raccoon. Spaying and neutering doesn't take away that drive. Would it take away yours? lol
I agree I don’t think bear did this he may have been there when the raccoon did this and was protecting Earl and may have been bit himself. GO BEAR!!!!
Nope bear did it
Give Bear the benefit of the doubt :-( he was probably trying to help Earl who was attacked by a racoon. They are both so cute, and they are buddies.
Praying for sweet Earl's full recovery.
I'm believing Bear fought off what ever animal attacked Earl ! That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Even if Bear was feeling his oats I don't think he would go for the kill with his buddy.
Raccoon for sure.
Honestly, if Bear wanted to kill earl he would have. Earl is young with no fighting experience whereas Bear has gone after Coyotes and other wild things. A racoon was prob after the dogfood Bear heard Earl barking/crying. Bear steps in and gets some bites too. For earl to tear three teeth out it should have done more damage to Bears face.

I think so too
I agree with you 100%. Bear was defending Earl or trying to save him not kill him. Listen to the vet. Daniel you are do the best thing for Earl and Bear.
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!!
Earl is a golden doodle and needs to stay near the house.
How do you know that Bear didn’t SAVE Earl from a coyote? Bear may be the good guy here. Just putting that out there
Bear won’t have let coyote that close. But both males need to be nuetered to keep this from occurring again. If female is about to be in heat more fights will happen
Bear was totally guilty though Tamera.,, just saying
That's what I am thinking. Bear is good, remember that big he got?
@@138NastyNate my pit bull does EXACTLY what Bear did when I just say his name. He has ALWAYS been that way since a tiny puppy. That in no way is a sign of guilt.
Maybe it was a wild pig?!
Daniel, I kind of believe the vet about the bite because we had a big dog like Bear that was named Bear that if he got into a fight with another dog, then he would have killed it.I think Bear came in to take care of Earl. That's my 2 cents worth but dogs can be dominant over food and territory. 👍
Glad Earl is doing OK. I am thinking a raccoon got Earl and Bear tried to help him. 🎄💖🎄
I think that both your male dogs should be fixed. I am glad that your baby is going to be alright.
A coon was my first thought. Bear has big teeth and those don't look like big teeth wounds. Which would mean that Bear is probably the hero in this story and maybe saved Earl's life.
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!!
exactly dogs are really good at reading peoples emotions towards them, That's why a lot of people get the guilty look on their dogs faces when the owner discovers what they have done.
Dogs are just stupid they forget what they did or what they someone’s done to it. It will get over it. It’s a dog .
See how Earl reacts around Bear next meeting of the two. That will tell you all you need to know.
Look to see how Earl acts towards Bear when you bring him home.
I guess he can’t be left outside..no match for what ever animal attacked him.
When males fight and see each other again the reaction is not typically a greeting of miss you buddy like bear and earl did. The attached dog usually squeals and hides, the attacker dog usually struts proud. Bear lowered his head like dude you ok, I'll protect you come on out. Vet does know their different bites as well. So bear is innocent until proven otherwise, no proof here.
I had two intact Yorkshire males, when they fought the aggressor always hung his head because he knew better!
Are you a K9 attorney or a Dog Whisperer\SHRINK?
Not a bully , nature. Bear is a great dog. I see how dj feels but it is a big farm . And bear has earned the right to be there. His protection of your children alone from coyotes or pigs. Maybe the Little Red Dog Earl should be Mama's inside dog. Surely there can be room for both dogs there at the farm get them both fixed.
I would never leave a dog the size of Earl outside when I wasn’t home, for the reasons you just experienced. I don’t believe those injuries were caused by Bear.
I agree with you about not leaving that little baby outside when their gone… ever!!
Bear was framed, I tell you.
On a critter for some time. Bear could be a hero instead of a turd.
Im thinking something else came to visit dog food bowl. Wild pig,, Large male Raccoon , coyote..Those wounds even on bear are from a long timely fight. I think both dogs took on a critter. Bear could be a Hero instead of a turd
How can a mom's love be more Earl than Bear? That's like saying you love 1 child more than another. I agree why are the dogs left outside and protected when you're not home? Just saying. I am not sub or ever watched a video of yours so my opinion really doesn't matter but I think more precautions should have been taken since you noticed aggressive behavior from Bear.
Even with getting Bear fixed, I would put up a dog run for Earl when you don’t have time to monitor them. He would be safe from all bigger animals. I have been breeding dogs for many years and there are times neutering hasn’t helped with the behaviour. Just a bit of info is all.
Definitely a dog run for awhile!
Absolutely. I'm also a professional dog trainer and agree
I so agree. I had a Corgi mix male who was fixed and hubby was gifted an American Staffordshire Bulldog by his brigade. We had him neutered. All was good until the bulldog reached two. 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. The bulldog got bloat and died enroute to the hospital. Daniel, you simply can not leave the two of them out of your site. It's what dogs do and it will happen again, with barely any warning.
Yep. It's Dan's fault for letting things slide.
Excellent advice! I agree 110%
I think it was a raccoon, and Bear tried to save Earl. Hope he gets better soon.
And raccoons come out at nite when this happened. Would Bear be shaking like that if he wasn't scared? You never raised your voice but I could see him quivering. If you want Bear pups, save his sperm.
Yep my thoughts too! Raccoons
Nope.
I’m so glad Earl is OK! He is just so adorable!! Sending him love & hugs & hope he feels much better!!
I find it hard to believe that Bear attacked Earl, there would have been so much more damage. I think Bear came to Earl's defense and got bit as a result.
It was already stated that Bear has been having issues with Earl the last few weeks. So it's not really hard to believe that he could've beat him up bad.
@@lawrencea1989 , I saw that, but I still think that if it was Bear, there would have been much more damage to Earl. Whatever happened, it is a good thing Bear is going to be neutered. I wish Earl a complete recovery.
@@lee8300 I get what you're saying, but I've owned many very large dogs that were very capable of killing other smaller dogs I had, and they don't always attack to kill, sometimes they only want to teach the other dog a lesson, so they'll take them down and cause injuries but they'll only go so far and not kill them.
And seeing the size of the area that was bruised on his chest, It had to be something with a large mouth and strong bite.
If a dog the size of Bear would have taken Earl down and got him on his back as dominant dogs do to show their dominance, and then Earl started bitting him on the side of his face and Bear just got a mouthful and gave him a good shake, it would have caused those same type of injuries.
@@calvinh.8882 , I've got nothing else to say. I feel the Arms family does not need a great debate on what happened from their viewers.
@@lee8300 Well, we're just responding to the one that started this debate, You. So if you have nothing else to say then that's fine.
As for TH-camrs not needing a debate about the videos they choose to record and post? I feel they shouldn't post things they do not want to be debated. Commenting on and about TH-cam videos is why the comment section is here, and the more people debate in the comment section the better it is for the video. TH-cam is designed that way, the more people debate in the comment section the more TH-cams algorithm promotes the video.
I hope you have a nice night. Peace.
I’m going to believe that big brother Bear came to little brother Earl’s rescue during an attack by an animal such as a raccoon. Earl may not have wanted to go outside there at the end of the video but he did not seem terrified of Bear.
A very wise old Vet once told me (after a very severe fight between my 2 NEUTERED male dogs left me struggling to try to keep further altercations from happening), "once two dogs have gotten into a serious fight, future fighting is almost inevitable...they will fight to the death if allowed to continue''. I wound up getting seriously bitten myself in my efforets to STOP them. 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 agree...Earl should be kept supervised. Or Bear restricted to certain areas...if thats possible. I have 2 dogs. The tiny toy poodle always starts it. She thinks shes the boss🙄
Earl was supposed to be an inside dog when they got him. This whole thing is not fair to bear who has a job to do and has done it relentlessly. This is human error, not the animals fault.
Or a couple of song dogs !
I agree, but I am not convinced Earl's injuries were caused by Bear. Bear is a Big Dog and the wounds Earl has are not near what I think a dog with the mouth the size of Bears would inflict on him and with what the Vet said I think they both fought/were attacked by another animal (raccoon). I would think the Vet has seen a lot of attacked dogs to know what she is looking at.
Aww earl looks soo sad. Breaks my heart. Give him lots of hugs prayers for his recovery
You can see when bear went to greet earl at the door. He was wagging his tail and saying ‘man are you ok that was INTENSE the other night hey’
I'm glad to see Earl is doing fine. However, Bear knows English and is wondering:
Bear: "What happened to being innocent until proven guilty? Why do you have to cut my b*lls off?" 😢
Thats why he was licking them( GOOD BYE BOYS.)
Why leave a dog his size outside when you not home knowing there are other animals out there
Aww. Earl is too cute 🥰
It's a shame that Bear who's learned to provide protection, watch out for the livestock, gets the brunt of the blame when there is a active young dog feeling himself and no one knows what really happened...
It's just Daniel kowtowing to TH-cam drama request/demand.
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.
Bear attscked earl. Two unfixed dogs, food to fight over, territorially marking. It’s obvious bear attacked earl.
@@countpicula no Bear has a wide muzzle and large teeth. The wound would be bigger. If it was a dominance fight even then the wounds would still be bigger. Plus Earl is still pretty young and from what Daniel shows isn't a dominate dog so he wouldn't pick a fight with Bear.
They aren't dog bites guarantee it. Seen too many dog fight puncture wounds when I worked at a veterinary hospital.
HAVE A SAFE PLACE FOR YOUR DOGS WHEN YOU ARE LEAVING THEM UNPROTECTED.....too sad.......
Yep… a raccoon bit the tip of my finger off at the local park zoo when I was a child. I tried to hand feed it.I didn’t even realize it at first because it was like a knife going through soft butter. It’s only when my brother and I saw the blood spurting out that we saw what it did. The tetanus shot hurt more than the raccoon. Plus raccoons are scavengers and love dry dog or cat food.
Awe, poor Earl..... prayers for a speedy recovery.....🙏🏽🙏🏽
Why the heck doesn’t Earl get neutered to‼️. There is NO reason to leave a mixed breed dog an intact male‼️
Can't help but feel if it really was Bear, we wouldn't be seeing Earl in this video. Totally no match!
I wouldn't put too much store in Bear's body language, either. If I talk down to my dogs, they roll belly up even if they're completely innocent. Give Bear a bye on this one and use an ounce of prevention by putting Earl in the garage when you're gone if he can't be supervised.
Agree 100%!!
My 80 lb dog kept attacking my Jack Russell (both were intact males), we got the big dog fixed & there hasn’t been another incident since. I hope this helps your fur family as much as it did mine.
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 agree 100%. Bear came to Earl's defense while a raccoon was ripping his chest open. Bear saved Earl from worse damage and possibly saved his life. A few years ago a bobcat nearly killed my neighbor's Jack Russell Terrior right in his own backyard. The little dog had just gone out to potty and the bobcat attacked. If my neighbor hadn't been inside and heard the fight and ran off the bobcat, the vet said her dog would have died.
Nah that ain't know raccoon. 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.
Nope, Bear doesn't have any injuries that match the damage done to Earl's teeth... it was either a raccoon... or a smaller dog.
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.
You are absolutely right! This comment needs to be higher.
To put it simply, Earl is a foo foo dog, not a farm dog. He should have been left in the house when you were gone. It's not necessarily Bear who needs to be neutered but more Earl. Earl has become a obnoxiousness sexual teenager. Bear is just being the dog he needs to be to do the job that he was given. Bear more or less told Earl "Not so fast short stuff." That is why Bear has started over marking. Bear could have easily killed Earl and he didn't, you all got lucky. Bear is not the problem, human error was. Neuter your non-working dog , keep him inside when you are not home. That will fix 90% of your problem... And please people who keep blaming the wild life for attacking Earl.. Even if that were true, not mincing words here, human error caused it.....
Little dogs..in the house..yes.
Why are you not fixing Earl and is an oral an inside dog why would he be out there with bear when you’re not home isn’t there one of your guardian dogs why in the world would you fix him and not fix the inside dog wow
Poor Earl. I'm glad he's ok. My mom's dog got attacked by another dog and it was pretty bad but she recovered. I think Earl will be ok. Bless you all. Happy holidays to you and Earl. 💞🐕💞🎄🎁🎉
P.S. We may never know what happened. However, it's time to get Bear fixed, my friend, for everyone's benefit.
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. Hormones rule their brain sometimes! lol
Well said. I'm very disappointed that Arms was so irresponsible not to have his dogs fixed. It's not a case of he can't afford it. I get so angry at irresponsible pet owners!
@@JUSTICEK I understand your comment and opinion, but we can't judge someone, just because they have an un-neutered dog. His dog is not roaming, making babies everywhere. He is a responsible owner. I have no qualms with someone that is responsible with intact animals, if they aren't running all over God's creation, and breeding any female around. If issues continue, I would suggest getting both done. Trying Bear first will test the waters. It'll take about 30 days before the neuter even takes affect in behavioral changes. I don't condemn owners, just because they aren't fixed. I may judge owners that let their intact animals roam. The Arms are not those type people. They truly love and care for their animals. They are not irresponsible. Try not to judge a person's character, by one accident.
@@jtdamomma I may have misheard but I think according to the next video, there's a female on a neighbouring farm with Bear's puppies. Sorry in advance if I'm mistaken.
Too bad but Bear is getting all of the blame! We've had many breeds and sizes of dogs and the little yorkie males were usually the fight starters. Just because earl came out worse doesn't mean that Bear started the fight over a food bowl. Only they know for sure!
Exactly! Most little dogs are the trouble makers.. Earl the non-working dog needs the neuter, not Bear. Bear has a job to do and he needs his balls to do it.
@@Deninex I feel sorry for Bear whether he's the instigator or not. The little cute fluffy dog has entered Bear's territory after several years of being the big bad animal watch dog and now Bear is potentially being cast aside for doing what comes naturally to a dominant male. They just need to keep them apart imho. We had a male yorkie get his head chomped one time because I foolishly set a bowl of egg on the kitchen floor with several dogs in the house. For months this little stud had been first to the food bowls and would scare the chocolate lab female pup away. This time she had learned the lesson that he taught her and decided that she was bigger than he. Painful lesson for the little guy. I'm sorry that Earl is so badly injured for sure!
I would agree with the vet’s assessment. Bear might be upsetand feels guilty that he did not protect Earl well enough. However, it would be wise to follow the precautions suggested (and get Bear neutered as planned) just in case the dogs did fight each other. I’m sure you are keeping a close eye on Bear’s wounds, watching for infection. Prayers for Earl’s recovery and hope he does not have any lasting emotional effects from the incident.🙏🙏🙏
I was thinking the same thing. Thank you for saying it. Guilty feeling for not protecting Earl better. He was shaking also.
Raccoons are viscous.
That’s not how dogs think. Bear attacked earl. It’s a dominance thing. Both un neutered pooches, boys, they fight. And this story fallows the escalation pattern he was witnessing.
Bear attacked earl. After the family got home he realized he fucked ip hence the whimpering snd rolling over.
If you have had multiple dogs this is common.
@@countpicula We had 2 females, Saint Bernard & Dashhound. They were best of buds. St. Bernard ripped open our dashhounds chest. She lived.. lost soooo much blood, but we were there so we had control of slowing down the profuse bleeding. They had some type of disagreement?
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.
If they get rid of bear, every animal on their property becomes a smorgasbord for the animals that roam their property at night. Even the mini cows, the donkey poodles and donkeys. Im sure the loss of goats wouldn't bother them also much as Daniel has mentioned several times he is drifting away from raising goats as a main livestock animal.
💯
I am glad you said this. I only seen this video on my newsfeed and don't know them like you do. Thank you.
Didn’t you watch the video.
He’s getting the the mutt neutered, not banished.
@@badmoonryzin7251 I was referring to the fact that if the neuter didn't work that it was suggested he might not be able to stay. Again to reiterate BOTH dogs should be neutered. There is no need to breed dogs. There are thousands being killed in shelters everyday.
I’m not convinced Bear did this to Earl. I’d be looking for a raccoon too! I’d give Bear the benefit of the doubt but I’d get Bear fixed too. But I’ve dealt with raccoons before and that’s my thoughts. Get well Earl!! Sweet boys..
I'm still thinking raccoon first! Bear shaking could be a little in shock of witnessing the trauma or also trying to defend Earl! We live right in middle of our city! We had a raccoon kill our cat, we had a necropsy done because we thought it was a bebe gun! We had a raccoon grab our Yorkie by tail/back end, the screech she made, I was afraid she was dead! Mind you, this was in our fenced in back yard! She shook all evening! She was scared for awhile, even to go outside! We have had multiple incidences with raccoons! No food, garden, or anything to attract them, except small animals, rabbit, cats, dogs! We had a friend, same city, have her small dog out on a tie-out chain, went around corner of house, attacked by raccoon and killed, in just a few minutes! She heard the first couple screeches and that was it! That was alot of lacerations and bites for a first incident poss with bear! I'm so glad you aren't getting rid of Bear and are having him neutered! Also, when Earl was at doorway and bear came up, she didn't back up and act scared, they greeted each other, and after bear walked away, no way was Earl going outside! Just a few things to think about! God bless you all, including all the farm animals!
So happy that Earl is recovering, and it sounds like Bear is needing to be neutered with all the marking his territory, 😊👍💕💕💕
Just get Bear fixed! Don’t get rid of him! Maybe he tried to defend Earl against something else!
