One of the most impressive things about the Rhodesian Ridgeback is that it was bred to hunt lions and other large prey, including boar and bears. The characteristic ridge running down its back gives it its name and shows a hint to its African lineage. These dogs make great running or hiking companions. They are also very intelligent and need mental stimulation, so they do not get bored. This powerful outgoing breed is not meant for everyone, but someone looking for an outgoing, funny, strong pet might find this it the breed they are looking for.
