RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK
History - When European Boer settlers arrived in South Africa in the 16th and 17th centuries, they brought with them such breeds as the Mastiff, Great Dane, Bloodhound, Pointer, Staghound, and Greyhound, among others. These settlers needed a dog that could withstand both hot and cold temperatures, limited water and rough bush, while performing the duites of guard dog and hunting dog. By breeding their European dogs with native Hottentot tribal hinting dogs they produced such a dog. These dogs hunted by both sight and scent and wer devoted protectors of the entire family. These dogs also participated in hunting lions. They would aggravate the lion enough so that it could be shot by the hunter. The breed was introduced into England in the 1930s and to America soon after.
Temperament - A very protective dog. Not only is it a keen and versatile hunter, but it is a loyal guardian. It is good with children, especially protective of those in its family, but it is sometimes overly boisterous in play for small children. Strong-willed and powerful. Reserved with strangers and aggressive toward other dogs and animals.
Upkeep - Loves to run and it needs daily mental exercise to keep it from becoming frustrated. An excellent jogging or hiking companion. It can live outdoors in cool or warm climates, but is much happier sleeping indoors, dividing its time between house and yard. It needs only an occasional brushing.
Size - Males can reach 85 pounds, and females can reach 70 pounds.The heights of male and female can reach 27 inches.
