What is the ideal home and environment for a Rhodesian Ridgeback?
Ridgebacks are great companions for those who enjoy outdoor activities. An active family with lots of opportunity for the dog to be exercised is ideal. Patient, kind family members willing to take the time to understand and properly train their Ridgeback. A large fenced yard is a must, with ideally a 6 foot fence. Some Ridgebacks will climb even a 5 foot fence, and 4 foot fencing is little deterrent at all to escaping in most cases. Ridgebacks should never be left unattended in strange surroundings as they may jump, dig, or run in order to find their owners.
