Advantages: great guard dogs, exellent with children

Disadvantages: none

I first got my Rhodesian Ridgeback three years ago when she was a puppy. She was bred for sale and I saw an advert in the local newspaper. Rhodesian Ridgebacks are the perfect dog for everything. They grow pretty big and the bitches are big enough to be guard dogs. They are great with children and wont hurt any child it sees. Although my dog does have a problem with strange men, she won't bite them but will growl a bit.

Rhodesian Ridgebacks originally come from Rhodesia as the name says. They were used to hunt lions so they are pretty strong and can grow to be about eight stone. They are a bit like labradors when they are puppys exept for the colour, these dogs tend to be a red wheaten colour and are darker than labradors but still as cute. They need lots of exercise otherwise they get fat.
It requires a lot of care and needs a lot of space.


These dogs are affectionate and easily trained if you start when they are young. They are great guard dogs and always protect their owners.

I love having a Rhodesian Ridgeback and would definately have more in the future. They are a great dog so if you're looking for an intelligent, affectionate and guard dog, this dog is perfect for you.
But remember, a dog is for life not just for christmas!
