Rhodesian Ridgebacks


The Rhodesian Ridgeback or African lion Hound, was not as many people have been lead to believe a lion killer. They were however used to track lions and hold them at bay until the hunters arrived. These dogs were used for the great stamina and courage they possessed.
The above photo is of my five month bitch Kina. The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a large athletic dog and my five month old pup already weighs 22kgs. Like most dogs of her age she enjoys the age old past times of digging-up flowerbeds and chewing footwear.
