Comment to 'All Rhodesian Ridgebacks are too thin!'
  • All three males in those photos are over 85 pounds and all of them are atleast 90 pounds. And what I know about Danntrig Mphasha, he is about 93 pounds. And also you can`t get a good male ridgie even from Glenaholm who is under 85 pounds. So maybe the pounds or kilos are not telling the truth about using the dog and his capacity to function? I´ve seen a a ridgie male over 90 pounds in bear hunting test and I can not say that it would have been an advantage if the dog were any smaller. And please if you know a real good male under 85 pounds, you are very welcome to show it to me too. I`ve travelled a lot and I have seen a good male ridgie under 85 pounds only few times. And also, as we all know, most of the ridgie males have never actually been under 85 pounds, breed standard is made from dalmatians standard and the weight was not changed. I´ve talked to a lot of breeders from South-Africa, Australia and US and all of them said they hardly ever had male under 85 pounds. So maybe it is time for few people to open their eyes and wake u and smell the coffee...
