Ridgeback or Pointer?

My RR girl used to do this when she was younger, whenever she was uncertain and sensed danger. Our ridgie boy never does it (he's a bit dense though — for a Ridgeback, anyway ; ).
Your boy is so beautiful, so focussed and intent. He has such an inbuilt grace, elegance and proportion about him, which so many of the weirdly-shaped modern breeds whose form doesn't follow function don't have any more.

Beautiful boy! I love how his foot twitches, he's SO focused lol

my German shepherd lifts up his paw if he sees a rabbit or pheasant in our fields and any movement and he'll chase it

@Janeway1269 Ridgeys point, stalk, hunt, fetch, retrieve, they are an all round dog, so stealthy, I love them

My Ridgeback does the same thing, her back legs shake whilst she points, must be a nervous thing.

Tyra, Rhodesian Ridgeback, goes bananasby tyravideo98,971 views
I didn't even know they pointed. I just though RRs tracked game and held it at bay as best as they could. RRs are amazing!

Well, they are multipurpose dogs ;)

Mine does this too (hunting squirrels). They'll freeze in any position if the prey identifies the threat. Mine will even freeze with her back paw in midair. They also do not want to put the paw down at that moment to avoid any noise. You'll also find that the closer they get to the prey the lower to the ground the head will go in order to present a lower profile. Compare the ridgeback's posture and motions to a lioness stalking and you'll see where they learned it.

RR's did not learn stalking behaviour from lions, it is part of predatory motorn patterns that most of dogs have. It is innate behavior, not learned.
