it would be nice for funjester to do research and tell the truth.....The original breed standard was drafted by F.R. Barnes, in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), in 1922

@MrRastafari01 This video is from the animal planet.. Call them and tell them your issues..

@garioldwin That in no way means that the breed is aggressive, it is the way the owners brought it up that probably made it that way, don't judge a whole breed of dog from one experience with them.

i have to say these dogs have a lot of history but if their still puppies be carful when their near a two and four year old cause i have one and the kids in my house are on the floor if she gets near them either that or she bites a lot is their any tips on how to keep her calm with all the sounds in my house?

Anything with a mouth can bite so you should always watch young children with any sized dog. I worry more about my big female knocking kids over than biting! She has knocked me over more than once. Shedding? My male MOLTS twice a year! Gobs and gobs of fur all over everywhere. Daily grooming during these times just produces fur "puppies" that blow around in the wind! But I will never own another breed. For me, they are simply the best!

@17107Jon17107 I too know alot of ridgebacks that are great with children, however, mine, (sadly on his last legs now) cannot be trusted with little kids. There is noway I would ever leave him alone with kids. He's incredibly 'soft' and loving to everyone, (except intruders lol), but with little kids, he does seem to behave differently, and all it takes is one snap from a dog so large.

I don't know, I think if you own big dogs, you need to be aware of the constant potential danger they can pose.

More lies from the eugenist breeders.The 'ridge' is spina bifida.Those pups born without this deformity are culled.

@17107Jon17107

They are great with kids, that is true! And they are very careful when playing with kids. But peharps they are refering to the fact that, sometimes, the rhodesian ridgebacks being unable to perceive their own power.

The breeder, if serious one, will look for for sinus in the ridge and back. How ever this can be removed by surgery, but of course a dog without is preferrable, since it is pretty risky to put a puppy under anastetic. Just got a little boy last week, the happiest dog ever.

I seem to remember some kind of relationship between the ridge and spine in this breed and how, when breeders go for more exaggerated ridges, there can be spinal developmental problems in pups. Don't recall where I picked that fragment of a factoid up but it does bear investigation if you're considering this breed for your next dog. Maybe do a google search about it...
