Rhodesian Ridgeback

The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a powerful, elegant scenthound known for the distinctive ridge of hair growing in reverse along its back. Developed in southern Africa, the breed was prized for endurance and bravery, including tracking large game such as lions. At home, Ridgebacks are affectionate and devoted to their family, but they are also independent thinkers who need consistent training and plenty of exercise.
