In his native land of Southern Africa, the Rhodesian Ridgeback is a guard dog. His height (27 inches) and a very solid skeleton make him a very strong dog. The Rhodesian Ridgeback’s prey as a hunter include lions, and by his stately bearing one can tell that he never gives in.
His coat is easy to take care of. The Ridgeback will suit those who dream of a dog with a bright, expressive character. Nobody will dare to break into the house, if they know that there is a Ridgeback inside. He likes physical activity and wouldn’t mind eating well. He is an excellent friend
