+27 (0)15 307 6239 About ridgebacksThe Rhodesian Ridgeback originated in South Africa, but is credited to Rhodesian breeders who developed and protected the purity of the breed. When the breed was first registered with the Kennel Union of Southern Africa, Zimbabwe was still known as Rhodesia. Afrikaans folk sometimes call the breed rifrug. Ridgebacks have a ridge of hair along the top of their backs that seems to grow in the wrong direction. They are short-coated. Sometimes a ridgeback is born with no ridge. These puppies should not be bred from as they don't conform to the breed standard. They make lovely pets though! A Rhodesian Ridgeback needs a big garden and lots of exercise. Remember puppies grow quickly! Ridgebacks are hounds and like to hunt. They have been used to hunt lion and have been called, "Lion Dogs." A hound will go hunting by himself and disappear, so a strong, high fence is a must. Training is essential as this is a large, strong dog. Colour: light wheaten or red wheaten, sometimes with a touch of white on the feet or chest. Height: dogs 63 - 39 cms at shoulder, bitches 62 - 66 cms. 
Luma Zuma belongs to Mr & Mrs J Hennings of South Africa. Check the ridge along the back.
This ridgeback puppy is Luma's son.
