I have been around only one ridgeback, and it was about worthless.She would see a yote, and run it out of the country, and we would spend half a day trying to find her. I'll keep my catahoulla cur crosses, and keep killing 200+ yotes a year. You can have your "Ridgebacks".
excatly, outcross them enough with hunting stock and you might end up with a decoy dog. not something thats gonna break its leg jumpin off a show bench
