and if you read the show fancy crowds books you'll also hear that chihuahuas slept w/ the aztecs & pharoah hounds pissed on the pyramids as they were built. both assertions have been proven wrong by genetic testing. however prior to the genetic testing there were old written records that asserted ...

Folks should probably learn their breed histories better before asserting things that are incomplete or simply untrue.

Just because people think of a dog breed in terms of it's last 50 years or last 100 years, that doesn't mean that it's always been that way.

Look at the Rottweiler. My oh my, how ...

It all depends.

Here's some of my pups:

This is a complex story. The short version is that the majority of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, from a working-dog perspective, aren't worth their weight in kibble. And I'm not saying that to imply that my dogs are ...

I'm not sure who "longshot" is, but I do know Mr Mason. In fact, I was just at his place with a few pot lickers (Ridgebacks and Kemmers) last weekend.

Mr Mason is an awesome houndsman, but he is a Catahoula man mostly... I'd be really surprised if he had any Ridgebacks.

Just a quick update.

I wanted to thank everyone again for their assistance. The editorial copy has been submitted and approved for publication.

Are you still runnin' Ridgebacks Pops?

Have you ever thought about contributing a few pictures to the HRA field gallery?

I wish I had seen this earlier, I would have forwarded to Jack Hayden with the beagler's alliance.

Sad story... all because one guy didn't want to hear the bawling of a few beagles... on public land. One of my favorite lines from Tombstone: "That badge don't make you right."

wonder what would have happened to a ridgeback that caught on an african lion?

There are accounts of Ridgebacks that survived tying up with leopards, but a lion? Hardly. That Ridgeback would win the Darwin award. There are accounts of lions casually swatting a dog, the dog landing several feet ...

Ridgebacks were not bred to be large, sight hounds, or catch dogs. They were originally bred to be medium-sized dogs who used their nose to start tracks and bay their game; there are still some breeders loyal to the original intent of the breed...it just takes some effort to find them.

I'm a ...

Thanks for the leads guys, I'm trying to following up on each of them, but... I registered on the site, and it lets me log in, but then it won't let me read the boards or post a message!??!?!?!?! HELP please!

Could someone here who does have access at least reprint my initial post on their Plott ...

I'm writing an interview piece for a national dog magazine on Plott Hounds. If you are experienced working pure bred Plotts, have considerable knowledge of the breed's factual history, or have good hi-resolution pictures of Plotts on the hunt, please contact me ASAP - info @ waarheidkennels . com ...
