RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK - THE LION DOG OF AFRICA

While people in Africa bred Rhodesian ridgeback for protection against lions, the ancients who lived in areas currently Thailand, who were mostly farmers, bred Thai ridgeback for the protection against tigers and cobras in forest areas and rice fields, and also for hunting purpose for at least 3 millennia.

I heard these dogs never die.

I love Ridgeless ones.

Just keep them out of southeast Asia in general and you'll be fine!

WOW! Very nice dogs!

i have a rhodesian ridgeback mixed with husky

I worked for a Rhodesian ridgeback rescue here in Texas. If you want a ridgeback, please consider adopting! This wonderful breed is being overbred by backyard breeders and puppy mills who cause the dogs to have more health problems and higher euthanasia rates. It's horrible! You can find amazing rescues, such as Etosha Rescue & Adoption Center in Seguin, TX - etosha-rescue dot org

hi anneka you must come and see my cane corso i know you will be impressed ;)

Amazing breed. Not for just anyone, but for dedicated, understanding, and committed owners only! They need much physical and mental exercise with consistent rules presented in a fair, respectful method. Never punitive measures, or you will lose their trust fast! They can have high prey drives, but are calm and gentile otherwise. Mine loves food and tug toy rewards. Walks on leash definitely. Given plenty of space, positive guidance and their own toys and chew things, they are very responsive. They are not clumsy either. My dog knows the "boundaries" pretty well. Love this breed!

I have a Rhodesian ridgeback x staffi and he is the best dog ever, even if he’s a grumpy old man and overly affectionate ☺️☺️☺️

Digga deutscher Akzent killt einfach alles

utonagan dog

My second favorite dog breed from South Africa, second only to the Borboel Mastiff.

Rhodesian ridgebacks come from rhodisia the old zimbabwe not from south africa.

Nicole is so naughty

My boys about to turn 1, he’s a wonderful dog and addition to the family. Ridgebacks are amazing!

I have a requested animal

Anneka, welcome to Russia, safari park “TAIGAN” in Crimea (must have). Many interesting video on TheXvid.

When Galexi was here I used to shave her and leave a go faster stripe down her back so everybody thought she was one of these.

Such pretty dogs!

Please a video on sarplaninac dog

I have a male ridgeback and i can tell you mine never gets tired he is constantly exercised and if he doesn’t get socialised or exercised daily he loses his shit lol😂 serious

I own two of them I love my little meat sweats!

I really miss a video about American bulldog, please make one

She moved to a whole other country so she could work less to spend more time with her pack of dogs. This woman is living my dream! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

My friends have this type of dog he is so sweet and so loving

My bloodline👏👏😍

I cant

Ridgebacks are very special dogs. They are amazing companions with tremendous abilities. They do require lots of time and attention and are not for everyone. I am fortunate enough to have two of them in my life and I'm in love with them both.

i would love an episode about rottweilers, the evolution of the breed, and how some dogs are getting shorter muzzles with very pronounced stops.

yes, its true I had one very intelligent, and knows only its owner..

I have a ridgeback right now i love him the sad part is that he is in his last years already

I would love if you make a video that explain the differences between the wolf dog vs pure dogs and wolf dog vs pure wolves. We all know that wolves has stronger bite, higher stamina, bigger brains and pack collaboration in comparison to dogs but what happens when dogs and wolves are crossed. Which characters they internet from dogs and which from dogs. Some people say you get to have an aggressive dog while others say you get to have a coward wolve. But nothing is scientifically accurate.

Does their ass smell?

Thai ridgeback is the don no dna link

As always totally love your work and the education you bring looking forward to the next one

I'm a red blooded male and I approve of what the host of this video looks like!

My RR past away, hè was 8 yeärs old , we are stil sad

I had a Ridgeback for 8 years. Totally awesome dog. People were amazed when I would tell them that they were bred to fight lions! Totally amazed. Till I told them that it was not a single dog fighting a lion but a pack of them harassing the poor lion until the asshole white dude with a gun showed up and shot the lion. But, I loved my Ridgeback and would gladly get another one!

The last vestige of Rhodesia

Rhodesian RIdgebacks don't like to be touched by strangers. It's very obvious how uncomfortable they feel whilst Annekas hands are all over the place :-( Had a hard time watching this disrespectful behaviour.

As a proud companion of 5 I can say that once you get infected by the RR virus it will never go away! Magnificent breed.

Open up and let em lick. Omg

I found one in the middle of the street and we adopted it his name is simba

Her German accent is germaine 😉

I have a Boxer Doberman mix and he looks very much like a Ridgeback without the ridge. These Ridgebacks look small compared to the ones I have met at the dog park. My dog was 96 lbs at his healthy weight but is now 10 and 106lbs.

They're are very good dogs. I knew people that had Ridgebacks.

One of my epic experiences with these dogs.... Few years back friend's male ridgeback (really big doggo) went outside to check forbidden corner of backyard. It was dark, I came outside, he heard me and started to gallop towards me. I could see nothing, I only heard massive beast running towards me. I just prayed he would run through the door because I knew if he jumps on me I'm dead. xD

The problem with watching your videos is I want every dog you visit

Ridgebacks are amazing. I had one, sadly it passed away, greatest dog i ever had. Could look at his eyes and knew what was going on. Very smart dog and was always close to me. If i left his sight when gardening hed change position to keep an eye on me. He' d bark if there was someone at the gate, was quietly sitting next to me when i came out to the gate. I could go on and on but the bottom line is that ridges are amazing dogs =)

ONE OUR LOCAL FARMERS HAD RIDGEBACKS FOR YEARS.. ONE WAS HUGE AND A DEEPER BARK FROM ANY OTHER DOG I'VE NEVER HEARD... WAS THIS UNIQUE TO HIM.?

Beautiful Dogs

Hi Anneka, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, now we are talking dogs, not a breed for those who don't do their homework on the breed, as you and the owner stated they are a breed that doesn't suffer fools gladly, they are a very observant breed who take everything in, they are very loyal to there family and will protect them with there life, they look a bit like in appearance to the Visla, they have a very short coat that is easy to maintain, when they are caught in the light they just glow from head to tail, a breed that needs a good exercise regime to keep them happy, if one is not up for a lot of exercise then don,t get one, you would be doing the breed a big disservice.

I miss my dogs

Interestingly, dog breeders breed specifically for the ridge, "the breed standard calls for a ridge that is clearly defined, symmetrical and made of hairs growing in the opposite direction compared to the rest of the coat. The ridge should have two crowns (whorls) that are directly opposite to each other. Having only one whorl or having more than two is considered a serious fault." Breeding to enhance particular traits is not always a good thing, as in the case of the Springer Spaniel where the brain can grow quicker than the skull, causing the dog unbearable pain and eventually requiring it to be put down. The healthiest dogs with the least genetic problems are still the typical 'pavement specials'.

They have a very shinny hair.

I had two, now one. They are awesome dogs.

I have too a rodasien ridgeback

I love your videos. Please could you do one on American Akita’s?

I love them
