THE RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK is a large, muscular dog of remarkable power, loyalty and courage. Today’s Ridgeback is descendent from southern Africa resulting from crosses between the native ridged Khoikhoi dog and dogs brought to Africa by European settlers, including Mastiffs, Bloodhounds, Great Danes and Greyhounds. The ridge became his identifying mark. The Rhodesian Ridgeback has great hunting ability in trailing and tracking large animals, as well as ability to hold his quarry at bay. He was the protector of farm families and hunters throughout South Central Africa, where the breed developed into its present form.  Today’s Ridgeback is a devoted family dog, totally loyal to his master. He is rather aloof and unemotional towards strangers.
