The Rhodesian Ridgeback, originally from Southern Africa, is a solid dog with a unique ridge of hair down its back in the opposite direction to its coat, hence the name "Rhodesian Ridgeback". These dogs were bred to hunt in packs and hunt lions, keeping them at bay until the hunter arrived. Rhodesian Ridgebacks are very stong willed, intelligent dogs and very loyal to their owners. The average lifespan of Rhodesian Ridgebacks is between 9 and 11 years.
