Rhodesian Ridgeback

Speed, power, and endurance come together in this African dog known for its protection skills and running ability. Athletic and sculpted, Rhodesian Ridgebacks feature a short and glossy coat that has adapted over time for living in extremely hot climates. Their defining feature is the ridge on their back, which starts with two twin whorls behind their shoulders and tapers to their hip bones. Gentle giants most of the time, Rhodesian Ridgebacks carry themselves with a dignified air.
