Rhodesian Ridgeback Discussions

My what beautiful eyes Themba has. She's beautiful!

Is it just me or are the photos from the beginning of this thread, ex-photos, never sure if it is my browser or the fact that the owners of the photos have removed them.

Have some photos of a nice young bitch, will sort them out later and inflict them on you.

Photos as threatened







This is a very young bitch who has a lot of maturing to do but what a lovely head and expression.

I think the photos at the start of the thread have been removed. Themba's photo should now be viewable

That is a nice looking bitch Jackie.

Oh Jackie she is simply gorgeous.

wow, what a magnificant dog!!
I have 2 ridgebacks at work at the moment! They are stunning!

Hi all.This is Gilbert our new pup 9wks old



already a bit of a lump!

He is gorgeous.
Aaw I remember when ours was that small. You should see her now!!
Enjoy.

Oooh, I'm jealous, he's gorgeous!!!! Only 18 more sleeps until we pick our boy up and I'm still stuck for a name

Shortlist is Archie or Cooper - any preferences?

Archie is cool!!!!

i never knew what a ridge back looked like...only ever met crosses!...

They are beautiful!!!!

all i have to say is wow!!!!!

I like Archie, but why not wait to see his look and attitude when you go to collect him - his personality may make up your mind for you. Their faces are just so expressive, with their crinkly brows and frowns and when they tip their head on the side when they see something they don't quite understand - it is a tonic that will brighten up any day.
He will give you so much joy.

Well, we finally decided on Odi (as in Garfields doggy friend )

We met him last week, and we think it really suits him (even if my mother thinks it's a ridiculous name for a dog )

My youngest son has already declared that Odi is going to be his best friend for ever and ever

:smt039 Hi my Rhodesian Ridgeback Zeus, is my aviator hes 3 months in that pix, hes now 5months and full of it! doin as pups do! hes so big now hes as big as my mums Alsation now!

does anyone have them with young children here?
how are yours with other dogs?
im facinated by the breed but unfortunately have not been able to find much information on them. do many appear in rescue?

My son is 11. Sydney adores him and he loves her to bits.
If you have young ones, you need to take into account that they are big, strong dogs and if they get the chance they love to play, rough!
Sydney does not have a bad bone in her body. She loves children (if only she could eat a whole one ).
I have been taking her to school to drop off and collect since she was a pup and she just loves all the little ones.

You can find out more at www.rhodesianridgebacks.org. They have a link to the Welfare Trust that does rehome.

We read loads of books before we got Sydney and went to visit a friend who had one.

We then visited the breeder and found out lots more. She is always available if we have any questions.

It might be a good idea to go along to Discover Dogs this year and/or go along to a dog show where there is a Ridgeback class. We have found that Ridgeback owners (ourselves included!!!) are always really happy to talk "Ridgeback".
Otherwise if you see one out on walkies - go and have a chat (with the owner!!). If they are anything like us they will love to tell you all about their Ridgie.

My kids are 7 and 6 Months.
Gilbert is fantastic with both of them
loves other dogs too!
