I wouldn't want to breed from a ridgeback to be honest, isn't the ridge actually a defect? If I can remember right it's because they have spinobifida (or something) and it's in them because they decided that the dogs with the ridge were the best hunters becoming the breed standard, and they only bred out of them meaning that barely any are born without the condition, and they are culled because they don't have the ridge, ironic isn't people talking about animal welfare when they only breed from the genetically f****d up ones and kill the healthy ones, I'm not saying this about the people who work them but about the pedigree kc breeders, they shouldn't be allowed to breed dogs if they only want ones who will win shows-despite health issues

Here we go again ....

 

The ridge is a naturally occuring mutation that was on the native African hunting dogs and was passed on to the offspring of matings with the European's dogs. They DO NOT HAVE SPINOBIFIDA! "That" ****** programme has a lot to answer for - making such an inaccurate statement. The producer of the programme has retracted that statement now - but rather less publicly than she made the erroneous one However, the RR can suffer from a condition called dermoid sinus - as can other dogs, people and some horses, but the RR is affected at a higher rate and it is thought to have a connection with the ridge. But ridgeless RRs can have dermoid sinus. A very small percentage of RRs are affected by dermoid sinus. Very few people cull ridgeless puppies.

 

I am surrounded by healthy RRs. I currently have 6 aged between one and ten - I am one of your despised breeders who enjoys showing my dogs. However, I breed for health, longevity, and temperament, as well as type. Why on earth should you assume that I, and people like me, don't care about health issues? I keep in touch with the people who buy my puppies (I don't breed often) and want to know of any health issues as I can then take these into account in my breeding programme.

Consider yourself TOLD Wild & Irish!

I find it sad that RB's get a fair bit of flack when raised in the topic of running dogs. I'm now looking into crossing my pure RB before she's spayed, and cant wait to see how they turn out!! They say dont knock it till you've tried it dont they?

[awen 29]

whats you planning on breeding her with mate? i know of a dog that you may be in interested in pm me if so, keep us informed on it mate

Probably not something with RB already in it to be honest, I think 1/2 RB is heavy enough. I have a lead on a working, bull/grey thats local to me at the moment... just got to meet up with the chap and get the ball rolling if I like him.
