“The future of the Ridgeback lies in the hands of responsible and
imaginative breeders”
-Stig G. Carlson
Often referred to as “African Lion dogs”, Ridgebacks tracked and held the
lion at bay for the hunter to shoot. Traditionally, they were used to
protect the home and drive off predators as well.
Today, they are still used for
protection, but their intelligence, high energy and intense loyalty to their
humans are what attract people to these household companions.
The key to
raising a stable, confident Ridgeback lies in early socialization and
obedience, both of which must start from the day you come home with your new
puppy.
