Amazing dog you have there. I just lost my best friend , Rommell , yesterday. He lived to be 15 yrs. old., best dog a man couldve ever had! Rhodesian Ridgeback are DOGS!!! Everything else is just a substitute!!

Although 15 years is a "proud age" I feel sorry for the loss of your best friend! :-(((

And yes, Ridgebacks are something different!

[hazor777]

Hey you have got to check out this youtube page: foundonly -- there is a posted video they have claiming that Ridgebacks get their ridge as a result of Spinabifida, and the breed basically suffers from this quite often etc.. -IS THIS NOT Fing STUPID ?! Its just misinfo & naturally the source of the video is the BBC, so go figure.Most people know the ridge is from the wild cross of the Hottentott dog & possibly Hyena ,ignorance irritates the shit outta me...how bout you?

[Catscottage]

I fully agree with you!

I simply ignore stupidity like that, because what else can you do?

Hi, Ik heb met plezier je video's van Zila bekeken. Mooie jonge dame!!!

Daan krijgt rundvlees ("Smuldier" diepvries complete maaltijd).

Je kunt dat in NL kant en klaar krijgen in de supermarkt, wellicht ook op Curacao??

hazor- your using sarcasm right? bc hyenas are not close enough genetically to canines to cross. curious choice of words.

@JackKangaroo1 : "INDEPENDENT" - that sums them up perfectly. Concerning the guard dog status, IMO it is a relief to know that RR's will only attack if they are sure there is a threat -in a world of loser ass lawyers looking for their next chance to make a dog owner's life miserable, this is a bonus (just look at the unpredictability & reputation of pitbulls) -though their owners(insert ghetto loser here) are mostly to blame.+RR's are great with kids & other animals

@hazor777 I've had a German Shepherd, a Chow and a Doberman Pinscher. I didn't train any of them for guard work but they were all extremely protective. The German Shepherd, an un-neutered male, was downright nasty to anyone he didn't know. My Doberman, a spayed female, was quite friendly but still protective. I've been told that Ridgebacks are great guard dogs but do it on their own terms, much like a Kuvasz or a Chow. They have an independent streak that working breeds don't share.
