I love my Rhosdesian, she is lovely but when we got her we were told she was a lab/hound. when we got her the former owners pretty much did a dump and run on us, which dont get me wrong turned out best as she has never been so happy with 3 walk/runs a day and 3 good meals and tons of attention

Lots of errors here. My male RR is 93 pounds and not overweight. My dogs only need around 40 -60 mins exercise a day (once they adults). After two RRs I've realised the key to training is developing the bond with your puppy. Sit, stay, down commands are easy for them to learn (but they get bored easily). The "come" command only works if you have a strong bond - where else would your RR want to be other than with you.

It looks the same as my dog😮😮😮

True they love their excercise but sleeping is at the top of their favourite things to do.

My daughter had a Dingo Ridgebavk cross. I had to walk him three times a day over 8 kms each time. They need a lot of exercise. I and my father lived in tropics and owned and bred German Shepherd working dogs, Rottweilers and Dobermans. Easy dogs to train but three kilometres walking and they sleep and barely moved. Blue healers a cattle dog run them five kms down beach and back with a 2 km swim they were buggered. These dogs do not listen they are not focussed on you. They watch and listen what is happening around so if you want to train them repetition is key. Save yourself the effort get a working German Shepherd. But if you want a dog that thinks for self and is independent this is your dog.

He's like I'm just going to spare you your armm. As we both know, i would win this 😅😅 Absolutely stunningly beautiful ❤️🥰

My daughters got a ridgeback dingo cross Barney from Gumtree a mongrel which I initially disparaged and did not trust. Prior to that time my father and I had dozens of pedigree dogs from Alsatians to Rottweilers through to all the mastiff breeds. I looked after a mates house and he had four German Shepherds. He put me in contact with dozens of his rich friends many with three or four large dogs whose dogs I babysat in their homes whilst owners were on holiday. I lived in up to three houses at one time with as many as a dozen large breed dogs simultaneously. Another mate whose house I baby say had four Ridge backs and they were the most muscular intelligent and athletic dogs I had ever encountered I was stunned by the breeds strength intelligence and athleticism. Soi knew of Ridgebacks but they were prior arrival of Barney not my thing. I was fittest in my life at time of arrival of Barney this running everyday and doing gym every night after work. I used to walk Barney three times daily eight kilometres each time or twenty five kilometres per day. He burnt me out and I could not keep up with him. I resorted to taking him to local racetrack at night and throwing him out of car and driving the track at about 25kph and waiting at finish line to take him home panting. Yet a couple hours later he would be looking for a run. He was bulletproof and had stamina unlike any dog I had ever encountered in my life. On one occasion walking Barney with my daughter I saw a young man beating a elderly man with a tree branch. I stopped the man in front of a crowd and male brandished a concealed knife. Barney ran ran in and bit him on hand causing bloke to drop his knife. Another time I was at home and a twelve foot long carpet python approached my daughters who were in pool and Barney at 27 kilograms was flicking a 12 foot long python in the air and snapped its head on my concrete pool pavers. Another time I was walking and a male was dragging a naked woman towards the beach. She was screaming he was going to kill her and I stopped him and fisticuffs ensued. The woman ran to nearby pub and bouncers thirty metres away. Barney sat and when three mates of the bloke I was punching out attacked me from behind, Barney attacked biting first on his clenched fist. He bit two others on face chasing them and others into dark on the beach but came back instant he was called. I called police when we got home and the operator told me thirty five callers had reported the incident of woman saved by man and a ridgeback and police would attend to take a statement. So he was strong he was smart bloody fast and acted independently when situation required. His bad trait was he had high prey drive and twice walking at night roof off and killed a cat. Once chased a cat and bounced off a council bus. Bloodied and scraped I picked him up threw him across my shoulders and rang to vet and he was right. Ultimately best dog I ever had without any reservations. More intelligent than dozens of German Shepherds my dad and I had bread. Wilful and obstinate to the highest degree. But he was in many ways too much dog for me. He was too fast too strong and way too athletic.

Name of harness please

I've got three Rhodesian Ridgebacks currently, check out my CZcams channel. Easy dogs to handle, just be fair and loving, like with humans.

Great summary of RR training. However I would add to pay attention to their diet and read labels on food you purchase. No sugar!! Also train them to have a soft and gentle mouth by the time they are 14 months.

Hi ,anybody here knows the differences in behaviour & character between rodeshian vs. wiemerener?I used to have wiemerener that's why I'm asking.

Hermosa criatura 🐕🏡✨🌈🪷

Larga vida y bienestar por siempre ✨🏡🌷🪷🌈🐕☀️

I love my big fella he’s my best mate

What size Ruffwear harness is that?

Training and discipline will do. As owner be the leader.

Such a waste of dog. My friend has one and they stupid. Don’t accept training methods . One day she ran away from me to the roof. Waste of a dog

They are : Sweet & stubborn Soft but Strong So elegant & sexy,..cause there inner and outer beaty.. My Suzy is almost 3, I guide her by hand signals and whistle.. Why are many people so afraid??

Ridgeback the sweetest❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ik heb ook een female ridgeback😊

My n too❤

I just had two dropped in my lap today I see I have Alot to do

Ik heb ook zo’n hond dat is wel een vrouwtje

😊

J ai le même chien

The exercise requirements aren’t that crazy. They are active and capable but they’re also perfectly happy lounging around - provided high speed play to get them panting a few times on days you’re unable to do a 2-5mi walk

That is one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen. I might get one when I get older

Beautiful beautiful ❤

Ich liebe Ridgebacks. Seit 23 Jahren hatte ich ständig welche bei mir. Dieser Ridgeback sieht nicht entspannt und voller Liebe aus. Er beobachtet sehr angespannt die Situation. Sorry

🥲❤

Sound exactly like the akita I bought

Best dog ever.

false information the dog was developed in south Africa registered in Rhodesia as a breed 😡

Ridgebacks are beautiful!!!😊

Hi I am from sri lanka and I have a 2 year old radisian ridgeback ohhh I love him so much. Best dog I ever had❤

The exercise requirements are not a joke. 5 - 10 kms every day without fail, whatever the weather. If you can't manage it don't get one. Also don't get one if you have young kids, as although they are fantastic family dogs they play rough and will knock over toddlers, small children, older people anď their owners. Ask me how I know....

People talk about tough and scrappy dogs. Well that's one badass dog right there!

My ridgeback/bluenose pit that just passed was the best dog ever! Black with some white, thick perfect ridge. Hand signal trained to go after specific prey/pests and guard chickens. Definitely not the dog for a new or uncommitted owner. It's true about their traits. But with committed positive training, they are truly unlike any other breed and will defend your family.

They definitely are not for most dog owners. Do a lot of your research if you are considering one.

These are one of the most amazingly beautiful big dogs I've had the pleasure of being a mom and sibling to! They are so friendly and loyal to its human family! And super protective

Great tips! Thank you. 🙏

These tips are great! Thanks for creating this video!

I had no idea they were so late with 'growing up' and stay pup fopr such a long time! Thanks for the info!

I would recommend short frequent training sessions as well, just to avoid the "I have had enough now" thought. I have a question about having them fixed. A long time ago, it was recommended to get them fixed at 6 months, but now I believe its recommended to wait until they are fully grown. Apparently the hormones have an effect on joint development. Going by memory, it seems to me, that my dog wasn't full height until about 1 year, and she really didn't "fill out" until about 2 to 2.5 years. If you agree, when would they generally be considered to be fully grown? If you don't agree, when would you recommend? Thank you :)

Ridgebacks are different than other dogs. I have owned them and most dogs will do whatever it takes to please you but ridgebacks aren't here to please you so you need to make your idea their idea. Because they were bred to work independent of humans, they are stubborn. They are the best breed in my book.

Your dog/dogs are beautiful. Ridgebacks are a life changing experience if you can provide them what they need.

By accident we got a lab Rhodesian ridgeback cross, we learnt quickly to send him to daycare to play all day lol.

from 2:15min could not understand a word?? Unless you speak German ( I think it sounds like German?) but still I enjoyed what I could understand lol Thank you! ❤

have never heard of this breed but i absolutely love it.
