This is an interesting breed. I never knew that they even existed, and apparently they are rare.

I've never seen this breed either, but it is pretty neat looking. Does it have a ridge like a ridgeback does? I can't tell from the pics.
I have never seen one either--I have seen a few Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and what beautiful dogs!!
They do have ridges :D I think they look like an interesting cross of maybe rhodesian ridgeback and mastiff, with cropped ears. But they actually originated a long time ago, in South Thailand or Cambodia ;)
Here are some pics where you can see the ridges better :)

I think I have some more somewhere, but oh well lol :rolleyes: Her ridge isn't alot like a ridgebacks since her fur is long, so it's long too and stands up straight! :D I think she's unique because every other ridgeback cross I see doesn't have the ridge. :p
I have never seen one in real life but i thing i have seen one a movie.
Yep! That is def. a ridgeback. The only exp. I have with a Rhodesian Ridgeback is one that came into a boarding kennel that I worked at years ago. Actually, the owner of the kennels adopted the dog for the dogs onwer had passed away. It was a female owned by an elderly lady. Let me tell ya this dog did not like men! I mean would tear them up if had the chance. She was real good with woman. In fact, a great big baby! I was just glad she got a good home, because the pound surely would have put her down.
Aw, Timber is so pretty!! That is really neat how you can see her ridge by the hair standing up--so unique!!!
Thanks! :D I lover her ridge ;) Whenever I brush her, I make a point of brushing the ridge straight up lol :rolleyes: I'm afraid it will go away :pQuote:

I love Thai Ridgebacks, they are so exotic and beautiful.
