Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs reach maturity in 3 years. As puppies they have a lot of energy and need quite a lot of attention from their owners, including daily exercise and professional dog training.

Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs are extremely low maintenance when it comes to care, making them ideal for a busy household. Thanks to its dense coat, this breed sheds only a little, which makes it great for indoor keeping.

Originally from Zimbabwe, the Rhodesian Ridgeback, also known as the African lion hunter, is a strong, muscular dog with an independent character.
