The Rhodesian Ridgeback is most noted for the distinctive ridge of hair on his back that runs counter to the other hair on this breed. The dog has also been called a Lion Hound because packs of them have been known to fend off lions. The ancestors of the current day Rhodesian Ridgeback were probably kept by tribes in South Africa. Not only have these dogs been used as hunters, they’ve also been charged by some tribes with overseeing children. Not all today’s Rhodesian Ridgebacks are accepting of children’s playing, but they are popular as family pets.
