The wheat-coloured, 70-85-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback is an African dog famous for its history of lion tracking. Strong and confident, these dogs have an independent streak and a strong prey drive that can distract them from their basic training. The name “Ridgeback” comes from a strip of backwards-rooted fur growing down the dog’s spine. Protective and very affectionate with family members, Rhodesians do best with experienced dog owners and plenty of space to run and play.
