Dog Breed Of The Day - Rhodesian Ridgeback

282 sats \ 8 comments \ @siggy47 7h Animal_World

This is the Rhodesian Ridgeback, a dog of incorruptible, independent character, who takes his responsibilities of companionship, protection and family dedication to heart. He never forgets love and understanding, nor does he lightly forgive harsh treatment. He is a dog of noble bearing, whose physical attributes should reflect his role as guardian, companion and hunter.

My new favorite breed after Great Dane

What a cute dog, it has an imposing appearance... I had a dog similar to that when we lived in the countryside with my parents.

This phrase on the website got me intrigued and I looked further. It refers to the ridge of hair on its back that grows the wrong way. Now that I saw it in the picture also, I can not say that is looking like he is a member of the Mohawks.

It's very noticeable when you see them IRL

Why is “ridge” such a cool word?

I don't know, but there seems to be a consensus. Apparently 52 movies have "ridge" in the title.

Ridgebacks are awesome family pets, maybe the best dog I've ever had. Great with kids, very patient and permissive (lets kids climb all over them)....also very quiet animals, if you ever hear them growl or bark you can rest assured that there is someone approaching the house. Otherwise completely silent.

Very strong dog....often people are surprised when they pet one for first time. You expect nice soft dog feeling (like a lab or something), but they are kinda rock hard / solid muscle.
