Description
The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a dignified and powerful companion, known for their distinctive "ridge" of hair along their spine. They are intensely loyal to their families, often forming a deep, protective bond that makes them wary of strangers. Intelligent and strong-willed, Ridgebacks thrive with consistent training and clear leadership; without it, their independent hunting instincts can lead to mischief. They possess a surprising sensitivity beneath their formidable exterior, often seeking close companionship and a good snuggle on the sofa. Their history as lion hunters instilled in them a courageous spirit and a surprising agility, making them excellent partners for active households.
