I actually just read up on the Ridgeback about 2 years ago. I love them as well. If I had room and time for another dog I'd have a Ridgeback in a heartbeat! They are really good dogs! They are great hiking partners! Make sure you work with the dog a lot off leash as a puppy. They make good off leash hiking dogs. When you get a Ridgeback you have adopted a guard system. They would give their life for their owners. Make sure wherever you end up getting one it has a even temperment. I've meet a few that have got a bad side. Chloe has an issue with new men in her house. She's getting better though. It's all in socialization when they are young. Good luck on your Ridgeback search! They are truely a great, loyal, fun breed.
Does Chloe have the Ridge? That's such a unique feature, isn't it? I'm not planning on getting one soon, but who knows? I know I NEED to get one when I'm older. Such PERFECT dogs! I have read they are rather difficult to handle, but I think I can do it. You gotta start somewhere, right? I really would like a walking partner, hiking partner, BIKING partner They sound so perfect for me, I can't wait to get one of these gorgeous dogs. I've started browsing Petfinder already and looked at a few local breeders, none met my standards yet, but hopefully soon, I'll find one.

Does your RR breeder friend have a website? I'd love to check it out!
