The African Lion Hound, also known as the Rhodesian Ridgeback, is a distinguished breed known for its sleek, muscular build and distinctive ridge of fur along its back. Originating in Southern Africa, this breed is celebrated for its hunting prowess, loyalty, and independent spirit.

Their distinctive ridge, formed by a strip of hair growing in the opposite direction of the rest of the coat, sets them apart.

Active and Energetic
