I had 2 Rhodesian, same parents but from different litters. Two of the best dogs I have ever had out of the dozens and dozens I have owned in my life. The male was magnificent, tall, husky but he had no ridge. Odie weighted 120 at his prime. Hazel was smaller but she was the brains of the outfit. Their ashes are on my bookshelf in urns. Hazel caught a new yardman in the back yard, put her mouth around the back of the mans thigh (lightly) and cut her eyes to me for further instruction. She would have taken him down if I had told her to. I have Jack Russel Terriers now, the kind you hate but they are wonderful. I will have a RR again someday, where did you get yours?

My girl ridgeback is a ridgeless as well, she was the sweetest dog of the litter, and without the ridge she was a good 700 dollars than the good dogs with ridges. There is a great breeder of champion ridgebacks 10 minutes away from me in OK, that is where I got her. If you are ever in the market for a ridgeback again, I would be glad to put you in touch with the breeder.

My ridgeless RR was free. The breeder was going to put him to sleep but my brother (a vet) talked him out of it by telling him he would find homes for the ridgeless ones. Naturally he called his sister who never turned down the offer of a free dog. Best deal I ever made.
