Bearded Dragon and French Bulldog Play Together || ViralHog

Occurred on February 9, 2023 / Mackenzie, British Columbia, Canada
I have many animals but these two have the most character. Lincoln is the French bulldog and Carlos the bearded dragon. Carlos likes letting himself in and out of his cage. My Frenchie and Carlos enjoy chasing each other. Carlos is definitely the more aggressive one and I have to give him a time out sometimes. The dog never hurts the bearded dragon, but Carlos has scratched Lincoln. They search each other out to play and like any siblings sometimes need to be separated. I always watch them so it doesn’t get out of hand.

They're aren't playing, that bearded dragon feels threatened

[@AndyPresto75]

I think you're right. Bearded Dragons here in Australia hiss or run when threatened but this poor lizard can't escape as the floor is like ice.

The bearded dragon is threatened that’s why it’s beard is inflated

[@pattimcelligott5518]

Everyone's comments are correct. The dragon isn't playing. It thinks something big and dark is going to eat it so it's trying to look scary. Stupid owners! Poor bearded dragon.

[@AmandaPaige71]

This is not a good idea at all. For either animal but especially the bearded dragon. Stop it!

Bearded dragons dont play. That was typical defense posturing.

[@Astro_Error]

Poor thing was probably extremely stressed :(

[@Spaghetti_Yeti]

I Don’t know how people could do this! I could never put my bearded dragon through this, I love him too much!

[@kayb2930]

They definitely do play, but it's rare. There's a video on the dodo, I think, where a bearded dragon is attached to this one dog. Loves to play with her. However, it is a one in a million chance. So, in this situation, I agree that this beardie is 100% stressed and not playing.

[@uncannycanislupuslovlygzk7230]

That bearded dragon is being defensive, it's not playing. You should be careful the dog obviously was about to nip the end of his tail a few times to play, even if they don't know that can hurt the bearded dragon, it's not safe. Reptiles are too fragile to play with other kinds of animals most of the time, and it's clearly stressful for your bearded dragon.

[@Gorilla_cookie]

I don’t think bearded dragons play. My name is jumped at me trying to bite me.

[@cynthiapaxton8343]

My name is IS the name of your Dragon? That's so original, nice.

[@mn4169]

this not play. natural behaviour of the dragon and the dog. it can go south no matter how cute it is

[@karenl7624]

That is not a nice thing to do to a Bearded Dragon. It is obviously alarmed and attempting to defend itself!!

[@KaeMae_]

When he goes that dark colour, and under his chin is dark he's angry and wants left alone. Not a good look.

[@vickimiller537]

Bearded dragon will bite the dog

[@lindaneedlemanfurbabies]

They are not playing can't u hear the dragon hissing , that's a sign of fear and stress. You shoud have one of them taken off you.

[@luciamatarazzo7345]

Plus the puppy can accidentally cause real harm to the dragon

[@marlenewolf2282]

I would not let this continue. It isn't healthy for either animal.

[@liveandinstereo]

I think only mammals play. Reptiles definitely don't.

[@snakesonaframe2668]

They definitely do. Source: I have rescued and kept reptiles for years. However, this situation is not what I would call “playing”. This is a beardie in slight fear. He’s not terrified, or he would be frozen with his whole body puffed up, mouth wide open, and beard completely black, and there would be hissing. Still not playing and still not a responsible thing to let your pets do though. I’ve had beardies and monitors that would play with toys, come when called, and even play with/take naps with my dog. (The playing I’m talking about involves chasing toys together and playing tug of war, no signs of fear or agression from either the dog or lizard, my dog is also a herding breed and has zero prey drive, he is also extremely gentle and careful with them. I wouldn’t trust just any dog to do what he does with my critters)

This bearded dragon is not playing. It feels threatened, hence the head bob and the movement of its body turning sideways. This dragon was stressed and on defense.

My beardies would cuddle with my kitties, especially the Maine Coon. I have so many pics and videos of my critters, like this one of a beardie, a parrot and a kitty all nestled on me first thing in the morning while I watched the news and had coffee. This video, tho, is not mutual play. The dog is playing. The beardie is not. The behavior is defensive.

[@lazarevaanna5665]

Мой французкий бульдог, разодрал бы этого дракона за одну секунду. Я бы не рисковала .

[@melissabarrett9750]

Do bearded dragons have any concept of play???

[@saga2964]

It's hard to know what they're really thinking, but they are both clearly a little at unease. However, the posture from the dog, and the fact that beardie isn't super dark at the throat suggests at least they aren't at code red yet. However, that could change at a moment's notice (pup could make too sudden a move or beardie could take a fearful chomp) and it could go badly very quickly! Best to keep them apart, and at the very least, have a good hold on each's face.

[@ttna77]

Does anyone know how to report a video?

[@Goldstandard_1]

My bearded dragons were rescued animals, 1 was missing half its tale, both were missing fingers, the people who gave them to us, took care of them well, but didnt love them, so they were given to me since i grew pretty attached to them, but considering what they went through, not once, in the entire of my time knowing them did they ever act aggressive to anything bigger than them, one physically could not act tough whatsoever, as most of his body was permanently broken, and NO one knew their gender, to this day i dont know what gender the one thats still alive is, or what age he/she is, their in much better shape in comparison to his brother (im just gonna call him a boy, since thats what ive always called him) however he is quite small compared to a full grown beardie, which is why whenever i take him out, my cat tries to attack him, believing hes a mouse, similar to the dog in this video, back when i lived with him, my dog was terrified of my reptiles, and not because of my beardies chasing him, just ptsd from the last couple times he put his nose where it didnt belong

[@80bbygrl]

That dragon isn't playing. He feels unsafe. Hence why his beard is out and dark colored.

Well now I know that when put into a cage match with a beast a hundred times it's size, the Beardie squared up, kept his eye on his opponent, bared his teeth, flexed his muscles, and charged to attack even though there is no way he could come out on top. I am a very proud red dragon owner right now

[@jessicaobara651]

I have cared for bearded dragons for 4 yrs and there are only a couple reasons why beardies puff their beards. 1 is to stretch and the other is when they feel threatened. I had a beardie who used to hate our cat and would puff and chase after him just like this. This is not a game and if you allow it to continue eventually someone is going to get hurt. The beardie will bite and than the dog is going to possibly retaliate because he also does not know better. If you see this behavior plz separate them to different rooms.

The dogs instinct is to go around and sniff its rear end but every lizard ever tries to avoid getting grabbed by its tail. One wants to see whats up and the other thinks its gonna die.

[@lagunamusic7686]

I come from a family that bred French bulldogs, don’t let their cute faces fool you. I’ve seen those little dogs try to take on big adult mastiffs and the one I’m thinking of now Bugsy almost died for harassing my dogue de Bordeaux too much. Little bugsy backed him into a corner and he FK’d Bugsy up. I thought he was dead but somehow I think he was just paralyzed in fear being thrown around like a rag doll by the dog he was bullying. They don’t call them bullies for nothing.

[@insertchannel666]

The amount of stress on this poor guy is real. Idk if it's your beardie, but to anyone and everyone who has one, please never do this. This isn't playing, this isn't cute or funny or okay. Dogs and Cats can and likely will kill your reptiles.

[@IMPULSE0101]

My beardie rides on my lab and Frenchie. I would never put it on the ground a lone like that I introduced it to my dogs just like I would a puppy to my older dogs. Now they are so use to eachother they don't even care. I have a female French dog and she is so so sweet with the kids but these dogs are known to kill rats and rodents...I think it's just a bad judgement call. Lack of knowledge. They look so cute but Frenchies def are fearless at times. Dragons just Wana chill and feel safe

If it was threatened he would puff up his beard and turn black I've got mine with my cat on my channel toutsuu
