I have a admirable 2yr old male Rhodesian Ridgeback who we absolutely love! They are great with kids and other dogs, they don't shed much, seldom bark, have the sweetest personalities, and are incredibly beautiful. Ridgebacks are very protective so it's hard not to feel justified at home when you have a 90 pound dog glued to your hip! I was just wondering why so many people have heard about Rhodesian Ridgbacks, but not many people have them.
A: Literally, I had a Ridgeback in 1974. Currently I know probably 8 to 10 people that have at least one and some have more. They are great dogs but still winsome costly. If you ever attend an all breed dog show, you may be surprised to see how many are entered! I think they may be more popular than you realize.

Although they are first-rate dogs, i see absolutely no reason why you would want one.
Time after time we see and hear about children being attacked by dogs, and most if the beforehand the owners claim 'it's never done anything like that before'.
Yes, all dogs can attack regardless of breed but i'd rather take my chances dragging a Terrier or a Labrador off a adolescent being attacked than something like this, you wouldn't stand a chance.

I utilized to own a lovely RR, he passed away two years ago. I'd advise joining your countries Rhodesian Ridgeback Organization/association. Don't get pups online, please.
Be sure to have a full check and specifically request spine test, as the top edge is actually a form of spinabifida.

Someone with unregistered puppies is not producing prominence puppies. Consider a rescue then- they won't have puppies.

Why are you against kennel clubs- I cogitate on you may be seriously misinformed if you think dogs without registration are better off. You want a breeder that shows through a estimable outlet because it helps preserve the breed- you don't know what you are getting with an unregistered puppy. The...
