Basset Hound vs Deer in Yard

[@theseventhgeneration6910]

Wild deer have several synchronous body signals that align with dog signals. That's why you often find deer and dogs developing relationships and bonds with one another. In this case, it was the front legs splayed a bit with ears far forward in a bit of a "sudden bowing" motion which represents "play" for both species. It is a common universal language among mid sized mammals.

[@chavenord]

lol

[@jamesmcgee3645]

i had no idea, this is pretty cool

[@dawsondetrana5496]

Or maybe the deer ain't scared of that lil dog, they probably use to people also

[@JNDeaux]

So they don't speak each others language, but they're mutually intelligible. Like Italian and Spanish!

[@djquinn11]

Deer: jumps 12 feet in the air Basset hound: jumps 1 3/4 inches in the air

[@vk2ig]

That basset hound doesn't actually jump - instead, it lifts all four of its legs by 1-3/4 inches simultaneously.

[@MsBee-cf5zx]

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@beeble2003]

Basset hound: "What are _you?_ Your legs are crazy long!" Deer: "What are _you?_ Do you even have legs at all?"

[@ms.sherlock]

It is SO irksome when the deers don’t acknowledge your fiercesome presence immediately....

[@parabolicfinancenews9887]

I think they know his legs are just too short to be a threat lol

[@jefffaschek2861]

😂

[@scottjtube]

Dog: respect mah authoritah

[@peterfieldsfields532]

Oh wow,hes gonna sleep for a month after that little burst of energy. 🤣

[@shadowviruz]

Those deer are like : Look at the ears on that wolf?! lol he looks ridiculous!

[@arapahosundancer]

all he sees is walking steaks.

[@DrRussPhd]

or maybe the deer are thinking " what happened to her legs? She's so short!""

[@snowmenot]

“I did it mama. I scared off those pesky deer.”

[@marcellomercuri5619]

Tall dogs

[@rightplacerighttime3572]

I love how the deer was so curious about him too. So fierce lmao. I love bassets.

[@kosherjew4223]

I love Basset Hounds, they’re so silly!

[@guilhermevieira8104]

Silly, thats the word lol

[@Desi_Nehra]

*_I read it in Speedy Gonzalez Voice_*

[@thenewbohemian5779]

Currently have two. Have had at least one since I was ten years old. I will have basset hounds until the day I die. The most end-EAR-ing animals.

[@bigfatdavebigfatdave7395]

I’d love to hear the dog telling his friends the story of his bravery and fearlessness.🤣

[@JW...-oj5iw]

You'll have to translate the sound in your head. Arffff! Arf. Arfarfarf. Awoooo. Yip yip yip yip. Awoooo arf arf. Arfarooney. Hardee har har!

[@philw8103]

Basset Hound: Boy that's the biggest Rabbit I've ever seen! Deers: Boy that loaf of bread sure is loud!

[@gailbrezinka9766]

😂🤣😂

[@markbeckens]

Plural for deer is deer.

[@ultramaximusreviews]

Deer: why is that log barking at us? Dog: I chased off those tall skinny dogs.

[@TheTibetyak]

A LogDog. I like your description.

[@trojanpony4920]

What a beautiful part of the country you live in. I always feel honoured to share my surroundings with such magnificent creatures

[@lazymillennialjobseeker9282]

I wish I lived anywhere near wild basset hounds.

[@theoneap2828]

So cute, came to find his mom so he can tell her what a good job he did.

[@HansDelbruck53]

But he only found some old lady.

[@dobermanpac1064]

I have a Doberman and the Deer understand she’s not going further than the wire fence. The bed down every night only feet away to remain safe from the coyote pac which run wild in my area. The coyotes are afraid of the Doberman. Nature is fun to watch.

[@warriormaiden9829]

Lol, smart deer! XD

[@Yodumeee]

Deer don't normally fear a single dog. It's the packs that get them. The yotes won't mess with a Dobby though

[@alienlife7754]

Coyotes aren’t afraid of your doberman. Lol. Trust that. It they could lure him out they would. Be careful.

[@wizardsuth]

@@alienlife7754 Dobermans are very territorial. He won't leave his yard without his owner.

[@joshschneider9766]

As he said the coyotes are absolutely NOT afraid of your dobie. Denser bones denser muscles longer claws and actual survival combat experience. They will not flee a fight with your dobie, whose biology has been significantly weakened compared to wild canines. Truth is neither would stop til one died and nature favors wildly evolved dna.

[@chrismcdowell7138]

That family must be so relieved, to be so protected from those two evil doers.

That’s: “Evil Deer’ers” 😆🐶

[@sandydewitt9102]

We tell our Basset the same. They are so fearless and we love them so much. He is our 3rd.

[@marymckim4822]

What a good, brave doggie - defending his territory but not losing it and chasing the deer and tearing off into getting lost. What a lovely dog.

[@IanClark-The-Classical-Canuck]

The dog did very well under difficult circumstances - I would have been proud!

[@randyfreeman396]

He made sure he kept himself between those deer and his mama! What a brave boy!

Read the description, then edit.

[@Lkpreslar]

She looks just like my Bonnie who passed away yesterday October 20 at age 13 and a half. Thanks for the video

[@LaserRanger15]

LOL, the deer was like "it is only a basset hound"

[@myerwerl]

The deer straight up just didnt care for it 😂

[@markaltamirano4640]

Heyyyy shortie.

[@trvman1]

That's the quietest basset hound I have ever seen. Usually once they start barking you cheer when they stop :)

[@ladennayoung2939]

Exactly.

[@mattjaxdad8693]

"I am the protector of this yard, are you guys friendly, if not I will have to go discuss what to do next with my Mom, otherwise how do you like the place, pretty nice huh".🤣

Deer #1: Why is that duffel bag barking at us? Deer#2: I think it's a dog. Deer#1: Noooooo. Deer#2: It has a tail. Deer#1: That's probably just the strap. Deer#2: Duffel bags can't bark. Deer#1: This one can.

[@gailbrezinka9766]

😂🤣😂

[@1stltwife]

That is really funny!!! I laughed out loud and it is nice to have some sweet, kind, humor!!!

[@elkabong6429]

“Duffel Dawg!”

[@rrvtjd]

Dog: “There are TWO of them, and they’re a lot bigger than me, but I have to look tough! Deer: “Oh, shut up, you noisy little sausage.”

[@jayneterry8701]

Doggie barking but tail wagging too! He didn't get too close which was good. Sweet Doggie 😁🌷

[@kingoghearts1]

Deer , nothing to worry about here , his belly is so low to the ground he'll trip over it if he ever tries to run

[@JGphins]

Awesome guard dog - lol he's beautiful! I will be driving over 500 plus miles next week to pick up our 8 weeks of age basset hound. The entire family can't wait to share many years of joy!!! We named him Rufus, super excited!

[@JW...-oj5iw]

This one's name is Lexy. Possibly short for Alexis.

[@j.cassavoy4661]

Adopt, don't shop! Another dog dies in a shelter every time you buy from a greeder.

[@tacoconch7678]

@1:13 "Oh look! It's running. This is my chance to look tough!"

[@JW-28]

Bassetts are so sweet. They are like a stretched out, floppy ear, lowrider beagle.

[@nowthenzen]

Dog is like "i'm barking at you in my fiercest guard voice!" and deer are like "yah, that's not really a problem"

[@FactStorm]

Lmao, the cute hound meant well in "protecting you" and is humble about not being able to fend from the intruders XD Nice video!

[@Chubzdoomer]

0:53 It looks back like "Are you seeing this shit?"

[@forbeshutton5487]

I thought it was more like "A little help please!"

[@nicolestarkoniski5674]

My husband called our basset daisy a window warrior becuase she will bark at the one by the door and in the car but when she comes out she’s a sweetheart to the dog she was barking and growling at. No more tough dog when she’s not behind something lol

[@plantationstorage9347]

He probably felt like he did his job and protected his home.

[@Astro_touches_children]

Even though he was outnumbered

[@casyatbat]

PS, you mean watching the deer prancing through the yard.

[@JW...-oj5iw]

Especially since he was a she. Take a walk on the wild side.

[@ethanbox2010]

He probably thinks he saved the entire family from being slaughtered and the house from being burned to the ground.

[@ArtStoneUS]

But they nibbled the grass!

[@slugboard]

she came up afterwards all proud like “did you see that mom!!!!”

[@brianwilson6403]

You should see one chase Deer across a snow covered field. I caught up with him about 10 minutes later, edge of the woods, top of the hill. "They got away, I tried, but they got away!!!" Should've seen that chest busting snow drifts!!!

[@the_answeris6694]

"Oh deer. Have you any doe? Yes, two bucks!"

[@KFrost-fx7dt]

I wish I lived somewhere where the deer would visit. It's so peaceful watching them.

[@jessygoofball4736]

Ooh she's so tough. But mostly really cute.

[@pokeysdad17]

that's my basset in a nut shell. he even chases away the animals on tv. all the while wagging his tail.

[@lordoptimus1979]

He's like "yeah you better run"

Is he Caitlin Jenner?

[@tomarmstrong4761]

My two encountered a doe and three or four fawns in a local park a few weeks ago. They wanted the deer to play, and were tugging at their leashes with everything they had with that goal in mind. I didn't let them loose.

[@chefdan87]

That dog stays in between those deer and her human the whole time. It may look a little goofy but the dog was doing her job.

[@joshschneider9766]

Actually the basset hound was bred to corner foxes and other small to mid size game not guard things lol

[@MikeNaples]

Deer says, we're not afraid of dwarf canines. Basset Hound says, shit that was scary chasing off those lions.

[@Gman6755]

It's like he said, "well, that's enough exercise for today, let's eat now!"

[@jameshalljedidrivertrainer7207]

[@aquariandawn4750]

Amazing how such a notorious take flight creature is so unconcerned over the noisy sausage.

[@joshschneider9766]

Habituated to the dogs presence. In Chicago growing up once in a great while a dumb deed would be seen wandering city streets. They get used to their surroundings like any animal is all.

[@clapoutloudclapoutloud]

Dog was smart stood back and barked but he did keep them on the move and he did what a smart dogs do, stay back instead of charging up close.

[@joshschneider9766]

He's a fox hunter literally thousands of dog generations bred based on how strongly they give chase. He's literally incapable of behaving any other way

[@kathyturner6177]

Think the deers can out run the dog but he is cute. Almost like he saw a new friend.🥰

[@bryanmeekins835]

Don't these deer realize you can't outrun a basset?

No they are mostly god awful stupid animals. For every adult you see several were too dumb to hit adult age

In Durango Co the deer come down from the foot hills one morning there was a herd outside of the fence and my 6 month old husky was playing with them they were running back and forth he was barking the huge buck stood back watching over the situation it was adorable to see I miss it there.

Perhaps if she were to run toward them and not away from them that would be more effective.

She was very effective, she stayed between the deer and her master. She wasn't trying to hunt. She was defending her home and family.

Moral of the story is, don’t wag your tail when trying to be scary.

Tail wagging in dogs dont only mean they are happy. Means they are exited often. I would be exited if dinner started walking too me aswell :D
