She is honestly the first big dog I have had who was a house pet companion hunting dog guard dog...lol...lots of character and very protective...when she hunts in grass or brush she bounds like a gazelle, but in open county it looks like a greyhound....but when she is on blood she opens up sooo loud and distinct. I have no experience prior to this with either breed. They are both web footed though. I have worked with curs, blk/tans, blue tick, walkers and a host of terriers. So far this is my best mate! Oh in-laws are between Bend and Redmond. I used to bird hunt in Madras, and fished all over that county...you can see around there; here it is so steep deep and brushy. |

| that's a cross I could live with at my house. I have looked at Ridgebacks, but was concerned about the hip issues. |

| I remember when I was a kid my Dad took our ridgeback camping and he was put inside pickup canopy at bedtime because he was a fartin machine, well anyway long story short, all the camper's were complaining about this big bear with low baying grunt to the camp ranger the next morning. We had the whole campground to ourselves latter that day at Camp Sherman as well as the Metolius river. It was amazing how campers could spin the story and chew the fat!!!!
The Rhodesian ridgeback had a unique deep and long bay, almost 10 seconds long. It could make your hair stand up on the back of your neck!
Take your dog camping and tell the camper's you saw big bear!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| It is amazing how large a percentage of PH's in RSA and Zim I have met that own at least one Ridgeback. |

| Send us some photos of Rhodesian Ridgebacks!
If I wasn't such a dyed in the wool bird hunter, I would own a Rhodesian Ridgeback and maybe a Scottish Deerhound or even perhaps a Irish Wolfhound and chase some coyotes assuming no fences are around. |

| You need to realize that you have a hound cross cur, you need another hound or cur with her to hunt in a pack if that's want you want to pursue.
By the way, does your dog jump backwards? |

OMG not two of them! I do love how she guards my 6 year old and hates the 15 year old boyfriend. YES, she prances backwards if I have something she wants as if she needs to get back to get a better look at it. In actuality she is getting the distance to make a run on me to take it. When she hunts she springs high in the air to look around even in short grass. |

Rich, when I got mine from a friend they had one brindle boy and two girls left. I should have taken them all. In the parking lot between the hills and home we saw one of her sisters. Talk to the guy. His girl is crazier than mine.  |

Always trust your dog's judgment on your daughter's boyfriends over your own. I've seen it work both ways and my dog was never wrong. |

| Did your dog bite him, or try to? That would be a good story. Somehow, I hope so. |
