Rhodesian Ridgeback or the African Lion Hound

Rhodesian ridgebacks have excellent hunting skills and are very territorial. The South African native was, for a long time, a companion to farmers and hunters. You see, these dog breeds brought one extraordinary skill to the table. That’s the ability to tire out animals by keeping them in constant movement until they can take it no more. The hunters would then move in for the final kill of the exhausted animal. The nickname ‘the African lion hound’ comes from their ability to track and chase away lions.
