The Rhodesian Ridgeback was a dog breed developed in Southern Africa region. Its ancestors can be traced to the ridged hunting dogs of the Khoikhoi people, these were crossed with European dogs by the early colonists of Southern Africa.

In the late 19th Century, big-game hunter Cornelius van Rooyen from Rhodesia incorporated two ridged Greyhound-like females into his pack of lion dogs. He found that their ridged offspring excelled at confronting and confounding the king of beasts, giving the hunter time to sight in his rifle and dispatch his prey. These ridged dogs were also successful at fending off other dangerous animals such as leopards and baboons, trotting effortlessly alongside horse-mounted riders all day, breaking off to course quick-footed game such as antelope to provide meat for the pot, and protecting the homestead from all intruders. They were known then, as they are today, for their devotion to family, and tolerance and affection for its children.

My RR lived to be 13.5 years, the most wonderful dog imaginable. But.. they're a handful, its a hands-on breed and you need to show who's boss. Great with children, trustworthy. Again though, strong characters and full on dogs, they don't want to be treated as a play thing, they know their role and want to be left to perform that role. I'll be getting another soon.

I’ve had my Rhodesian for 12 years, his name is Samir (Sami for short). He was my first dog and the best I’ve ever had, I love him so much! So strong, smart and stubborn, but also warm and sweet

An absolutely joy to be in the presence of a ridgeback! They are strikingly beautiful — we cannot go anywhere without being stopped and asked all about ours! :)

One day my Ridgeback was surprise-attacked by a German Shepherd. After a struggle on his back, he fought the much larger Shepherd off, pushing him a good distance away from the property. The tenacity displayed was something that I had never witnessed before by a dog. His endurance and heart were unmatched.
Both dogs recovered thankfully. I will never forget it. Indoors he's gentle and loving. Outside it's alert mode at all times. Must have a 6ft fence ! One cat or squirrel and they can leap over most standard fences with ease-and they will!😊

I got a Rhodesian Rottweiler mix puppy. She is 4 months now and she is already bigger than our beagle and she is a "good" guard dog too, she barks at strangers or noises that she doesn't reconise. She is also a very loyal dog

Just 6 weeks and we get our girl! This could not have come at a better time

[venivinivinci]

One if the best dogs I have ever owned will definitely get another

My family had a good girl like this. She was 12 when she had to be put out because of cancer.
Even in her old age and with the pain she NEVER snapped at us. She was very protective and didn't like people she didn't know but once we properly introduced someone she was super sweat. My parents had her before I was born. I was 9 when she died, 2 weeks after my gran passed. I miss my good girl every day.

We had a mutt come on property a few years ago. He was the most athletically built dog I'd ever seen. He can jump up to 6+ feet and sometimes just jumps while running around. I looked into the Rhodesian Ridgeback because I was curious about the Rhodesian Bush War.

I reckon our dog (Freckles) is atleast half Rhodesian Ridgeback, and he's a great farm dog but he's only semi-decent at herding cattle. Here in Oklahoma, we have hot and humid summers especially in the south-east and that light coat is perfect for the weather here.

This is a great farm dog but make sure to train them to not attack the weaker, smaller farm animals like rabbits and ducks.

We just got our first ridgeback!! She is beautiful and such a great dog.

[Wolffeathers]

I have had my Rhodesian Ridge back for 15 years now and I love them they're such a beautiful breed of dog and I and still living with my dog an hes the best pet I could have but he is old

[mr.veebez]

I miss mine had to give him up. Trained extremely well and smart one extreme negative if you have a family make sure he or she has been raised with your children. They are obsessive and extremely possessive. Not for a novice owner at all. Powerful in every way. I was a novice owner only having 2 dogs and I was in my early 20s... But I trained and walked him every day socialized him he knew over 15 commands and could speak and say I love you in bark. But when I had my 1st child he became something I've never seen before so becareful as all dogs aren't the same and they say it's bad owners not bad dogs. This was not the case at all he wasn't use to having a family environment so it was better for him to go with someone who didn't have children because that's what he was use to. Fast and powerful and my wife and I miss him everyday. 🤙

My dog is half RR and half pitbull.. literally a perfect dog.. I don’t have one negative thing to say..
Super sweet and intelligent..

[Blubirdmoon]

I had a ridgeback. Wonderful girl. She was unsocialized with people so she had some aggression toward most humans, she did not bite them but she growled a lot. She was a devoted companion and protector for me and my other sweet greyhound. My rigeback was a total pussy cat to my greyhound who basically repremanded her if she got too strong willed while playing. My greyhound would steal Ridgebacks bone from her mouth with no consequence, but I dont recommend any dog try that with a Ridgeback of their own. Mine was just a doll but a strong funny push girl when left to her own devices. I would only recommend a ridgeback to someone who is an experienced large dog owner. They need good training and wise guidance. & Lots of love. They love to sleep on the bed with you!

[OfoeNelson]
