The Rhodesian Ridgeback was a dog breed developed in Southern Africa region. Its ancestors can be traced to the ridged hunting dogs of the Khoikhoi people, these were crossed with European dogs by the early colonists of Southern Africa.
In the late 19th Century, biggame hunter Cornelius van Rooyen from Rhodesia incorporated two ridged Greyhoundlike females into his pack of lion dogs. He found that their ridged offspring excelled at confronting and confounding the king of beasts, giving the hunter time to sight in his rifle and dispatch his prey. These ridged dogs were also successful at fending off other dangerous animals such as leopards and baboons, trotting effortlessly alongside horsemounted riders all day, breaking off to course quickfooted game such as antelope to provide meat for the pot, and protecting the homestead from all intruders. They were known then, as they are today, for their devotion to family, and tolerance and affection for its children.
