Why aren't Rhodesian Ridgeback Popular?

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Actually, you'll find that most people don't like it when their breed is popular. Popularity often leads to unreputable breeding and a surplus of puppies

I have to agree with Giselle on this one! But, I do like Ridgebacks, I find them to be very beautiful doggies.

Ridgebacks are large hounds. They are very prey driven (meaning cats and small animals are a no-no generally), high energy, and can be dominant and noisy with a high incedence of aggression. They are alot of dog to deal with and we should be thankful not everyone has one. Personally I think no breed should be popular. It's a disservice to them all.
