I like Glenaholm dogs very much, but as I already said you can not get a male from Glenaholm under 40 kg. And it will be very very difficult task to find a ridgeback male from anywhere, who`s adult weight will be about 35 kg. And about using ridgeback for hunting; it is not about dog´s weight or speed. Hunting is about endurance and character. So male of 35 kg can be a good hunter, but so can dog with 50 kg . As my previous ridgeback male was. He was also fast and flexible and had endurance that most of the dogs can only dream about. He was used to track injured animals and after that his job was to hold them still until we came and finished the animal. Dog should always be seen as entirety, important thing is the balance in structure and dogs temperament. And my opinion is (as I base this on experience) the size is not the most important thing for a good dog for hunting. If you are lookin for a ridgeback who will most likely become dry in muscles and average sized, than I suggest that you look dogs from Karoskloof. I have seen quite many Karoskloof breedings and those dogs are most ideal ridgebacks to me. (But even their males are not 35 kg`s.)
