Loyal, easy to train, easy to groom, good watchdogs for when you live in the middle of nowhere, and being a hound are quite happy to lounge about. They aren't always wanting something to do. We've had ridgebacks in the house constantly since 1992. Our last old girl died in November. Longest we've ever been without one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair play, obviously they suit you. Nice when you find something you can get on with in a dog, makes life a pleasure 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our last one was rock solid round livestock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
