"This is Bailey, a purebred Rhodesian Ridgeback at a year and a half old. She is the first dog I have ever had and I can truly say I will only own a RR. She is very well mannered and www.dogbreedinfo.com helped in my search for the right dog. She is about 90 lbs. and about standard height. I do exercise her regularly and she does well at home by herself while I am gone. She is great with kids, but is like your typical RR and she is timid toward strangers at first; it takes a minute before she will walk up to them. I do follow Cesar Millan's disciplines as I believe all owners should. Cesar's philosophies have made her into the disciplined, well-balanced dog I was in search of. Bailey is very strong-willed and does require consistency. She is an incredible dog all around and does excellent with other dogs and cats. She was raised with cats and was socialized early."

"This is Jade, Ch. Studios Coldfoot Campaign by Freedom. She is a liver-nose Rhodesian Ridgeback. Jade is a Rhodesian Ridgeback breed ambassador when we attend local club events and breed information booths. Children and adults alike swarm to pet her ridge; we don’t have many Rhodesian Ridgebacks in Alaska. As a purebred “show dog” she has a personality and temperament that fits perfect in our home, with kids and a working home. Jade is well behaved because she was taken to obedience classes as early as possible. As with any dog, consistency in training and daily use of these cue words is the key to a well-behaved dog. The Rhodesian Ridgeback is no exception, so they are not recommended for a first-time dog owner."
