#4 This breed was developed in Africa as hunting dogs. They were used to chase and corner large game like lions, bears and boars. Rhodesian ridgebacks are still often used as hunting dogs today.
#5 Ridgies love to eat! They will literally make themselves sick by eating too much if given a lot of food. Because of their love of food, they can easily get overweight. Owners must exercise them daily and closely monitor their diet.
#6 Rhodesian ridgebacks are great with children, almost overly so. They can be too rambunctious with young children and may knock them over when trying to play.
