Brummy 9 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 The Ridgeback originally was bred for hunting down lions as a hound would in Africa so yes of course it would make an ideal sperm donor for a lurcher ! What exactly do people in the UK hunt with their Ridgebacks before deciding they're so useful they'll stick them over a greyhound ? Exotic for the sake of exotic ? Quote Link to post
bird 10,014 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 has the ridgeback been used fir hunting in the british isles. the rhodesian ridgeback has not being used a huting dog for some time i have always thought this would be an interesting cross a possible alternative to the bull cross. It sounds like a good x, a ridgeback is a very powerful dog if you can use the right one, you should have a good nose+ strong jaw, good stamina , a good hunting dog. I wonder why you dont see more about.??????????? BIRD Quote Link to post
