Frequently Asked Questions
About Rhodesian Ridgeback Puppies
About Rhodesian Ridgeback Puppies
Are Rhodesian Ridgebacks a good breed to own?
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are famous for the line of hair running down the back of their spines. They are fierce and loyal; so much so, in fact, that they have even been used to hunt lions. This all adds up to a large, headstrong dog that takes patience to raise but rewards you with unconditional love. Full-grown, they typically weigh 70-85 pounds and stand 24-27 inches tall.
How are Rhodesian Ridgebacks with other pets?
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are generally excellent with children of all ages. Rhodesian Ridgebacks are very people oriented and need to live indoors, otherwise you will find that your backyard has been destroyed by a large, lonely dog. They love children, but can sometimes be too much for toddlers. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.
How much exercise does a Rhodesian Ridgeback need?
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are strong and athletic but need surprisingly little exercise; a daily walk and some outdoor playtime will be enough to satisfy them. You could also take them for a long hike so they have a chance to catch up on all of the interesting smells in the woods, as long as you keep them on a leash so they won’t bolt off after something small and furry. Rhodesian Ridgebacks like to get out, but for the most part, they’d rather be sitting on your couch waiting for you to drop some food. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.
Do Rhodesian Ridgebacks shed a lot?
Rhodesian Ridgebacks have a smooth coat that requires little maintenance. Brushing them once a week will help cut back on hair on your furniture and keep their coat healthy. They only require an occasional bath - maybe just once every two months. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.
Are Rhodesian Ridgebacks easy to train?
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are best suited for a house with a good-sized yard. Rhodesian Ridgebacks are very people oriented and need to live indoors, otherwise you will find that your backyard has been destroyed by a large, lonely dog. A Rhodesian Ridgeback prefers a home with more space but can adapt to lots of different living situations if they get their daily exercise. They are fairly easy to train.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
