Summary
About Rhodesian Ridgeback
The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a powerful, athletic African hunting dog with a distinctive ridge of reverse-growing hair. Loyal and affectionate with family but reserved with strangers, it needs ample daily exercise, consistent positive training, and suits active, experienced owners.

Medium, rustic French scent hound with rough, weatherproof coat and long ears. Cheerful, sociable and affectionate, but independent and strong‑nosed, needing secure fencing, good recall and plenty of exercise. Coat needs regular brushing; ears and weight require routine care.
