awesome, he looks so rugged in that pic.. they have a few near this 'wealthy dog park' i go to, such impressive dogs. havn't seen them anywhere else though.
Theyre pretty rare in Texas too, the price (1200-1500 for a solid akc papered dog) + the old myths surrounding them made it that way. Its still said over and over how they were bred to "kill lions", when the truth is they were bred to HUNT lions and keep them at bay until the hunters got there. No dog can kill a lion but people thought this along with them being "uncontrollable". The ridge is an adaptation from the wild dog they mixed into the breed and thats where that myth stems from.
Rhodesian's seem to command lots of respect, i never see any altercations involving them.
yea theyre dominant dogs, so athletic and energetic. Ive never seen a puppy as fast as he is, its insane.
he grew so fast.. how much is he expected to weigh?
he'll weigh between 100-110 pounds full grown. Hes a great dog around people, I take him to work with me and hes very friendly to everyone in the gym.
2 things about ridgebacks to always remember if youre thinking of getting one
1. ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY.....
2. They will cuddle the hell out of you any chance they get. Everyone I know that has one says the same thing, they are going to get in your lap every chance they get, so get used to it.
