5.0 out of 5 stars
A good book for a tuff breed,
This review is from: The Complete Rhodesian Ridgeback (Book of the Breed) (Hardcover)
Ridgebacks are not easy dogs, and this book helps you understand that. Little things like explaining why your Ridgeback will retrieve a ball once or twice, but then get board unlike many popular canines is very helpful. This is a great book to help a person get to know the breed, but if you already have a Ridgeback I hope and pray that there is nothing in here that you don't already know. I have raised, trained, and have shown two Ridgebacks and I love the breed more than many other breeds I have worked with. As always the best place to learn about a dog is talking to a respected breeders, trainers, and handlers, but this book is helpful with understanding the important background of this great breed.

The Complete Rhodesian Ridgeback,
By "rhodiedad" (Gilbert, Az United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Rhodesian Ridgeback (Book of the Breed) (Hardcover)
Very good book if you are geared toward showing your dog. Or if you were really interested in the the lineage of the breed in three countries. For the novice recipient of such an awesomedog, I found it completely lacking in real world advice, save for one chapter. I guess I should have bought " ridgebacks for dummies" because this book mostly went over my head. The content was well written, though. The Authors know the breed.

The definitive book of Rhodesian Ridgebacks,
By vcross@plano.net (Texas, U.S.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Rhodesian Ridgeback (Book of the Breed) (Hardcover)
For anyone considering a Rhodesian Ridgeback this book is a must read. It covers the history of the breed from Africa, Europe and the United States with detailed information on noted breeders in each country. Great information regarding breed specifications from markings to growth patterns.
