🐕 Should You Adopt a Rhodesian Ridgeback?
The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a powerful, intelligent, and loyal breed originally bred in Africa to hunt and protect. While they make incredible companions, they aren’t the right fit for every household. Before adopting a Rhodesian Ridgeback, consider the following:
✔ Is a Rhodesian Ridgeback Right for You?
- ✅ You have an active lifestyle – Ridgebacks require daily exercise and mental stimulation.
- ✅ You have experience with large, strong-willed dogs – They need firm but fair training.
- ✅ You have a spacious home with a secure yard – They are energetic and need room to roam.
- ✅ You want a loyal and protective companion – Ridgebacks are deeply bonded with their families.
- ✅ You can commit to proper training and socialization – Early socialization is key to a well-balanced Ridgeback.
❌ A Rhodesian Ridgeback May NOT Be the Best Fit If:
- 🚫 You prefer a low-energy, couch-potato dog – Ridgebacks thrive on activity.
- 🚫 You don’t have time for training – They need structure and consistency.
- 🚫 You live in an apartment or small space – They do best with room to move.
- 🚫 You want a naturally social dog – Ridgebacks can be reserved with strangers and need proper introductions.

❓ Rhodesian Ridgeback Adoption FAQ
Thinking about adopting a Rhodesian Ridgeback? Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about Ridgeback adoption.
📌 How big do Rhodesian Ridgebacks get?
Adult Rhodesian Ridgebacks typically weigh between 70-85 lbs (males) and 60-75 lbs (females). They stand around 24-27 inches tall at the shoulder.
📌 Are Rhodesian Ridgebacks good family dogs?
Yes! Ridgebacks are known for their loyalty and affection toward their families. However, they do best with consistent training and may not be ideal for first-time dog owners.
📌 Do Rhodesian Ridgebacks get along with other pets?
Ridgebacks can coexist with other pets, but early socialization is key. Due to their strong prey drive, they may chase smaller animals.
📌 How much exercise does a Rhodesian Ridgeback need?
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are high-energy dogs that need at least 60-90 minutes of daily exercise, including walks, runs, and playtime.
📌 Do Rhodesian Ridgebacks shed?
Yes, but they have a short, easy-to-maintain coat that sheds lightly year-round. Weekly brushing helps keep shedding under control.
📌 Are Rhodesian Ridgebacks easy to train?
They are highly intelligent but also independent, so consistent, positive training is essential. They respond well to firm but fair leadership.
📌 How long do Rhodesian Ridgebacks live?
On average, Rhodesian Ridgebacks live between 10-12 years, though some can live longer with proper care.
📌 What should I feed my Rhodesian Ridgeback?
A high-quality, protein-rich diet is best. Ridgebacks are prone to bloat, so feeding smaller, frequent meals is recommended.
📌 Can I adopt a Rhodesian Ridgeback if I live in an apartment?
Ridgebacks do best in homes with secure yards, but if you provide enough exercise, an apartment can work. However, they are large, active dogs that need space.
📌 How do I start the adoption process?
Check our available Rhodesian Ridgebacks and submit an application through our adoption form. If you don’t see your perfect match, join our waiting list to be notified when a Rhodesian Ridgeback becomes available near you.
