The High Desert Ridgebacks Kennel is proud to own the most versatile, loving and loyal breed of dog - the Rhodesian Ridgeback.
The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a strong and intelligent dog, that has both keen sight and a good nose. Possessing many of the characteristics generally associated with hounds, the Ridgeback has a quiet temperament and rarely barks for no reason. While they give the impression of a big, lazy animal,
the Ridgeback can be a threatening presence as a
watchdog. Developed not only to hunt, but also as a
family protector, his affectionate disposition makes
them a trustworthy companion for children.
Ridgebacks are “people” dogs. They like to be
where you are and, if you allow it, they’ll crawl
onto your bed, onto your sofa or favorite chair and
your lap.
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are intelligent animals. They respond well to positive, fair, and consistent training.
Trained, they are a pleasure as a companion, a hunting partner, a show dog or obedience competitor.
A Rhodesian Ridgeback is loving, loyal, strong and smart, they are good with other animals and children.
Ridgebacks are clean and easy to maintain. Because of their short coat, Ridgebacks shed very little.
It is very rare that a Ridgeback is found to be a fussy eater.
If Ridgeback suddenly refuses to eat, it is most likely
sick or the food is bad. They have large appetites,
and no matter how much food you give them, they
will try to convince you that it is not enough. Free
feeding is not recommended. Ridgebacks are a lean
breed of animal, built for cruising the prairie. The
biggest problem with first-time Ridgeback owners is
that they allow their dog to get too fat. Please review feeding recommendations and follow them accordingly.
