Rhodesian Ridgeback

This was my very first Rhodesian Ridgeback dog to make. I really enjoy making breeds that I haven't done before, because it means I really have to study the breed. Also, I love to research and find cool facts about each different dog.

This particular breed was extremely fasinating. When you think of a Rhodesian Ridgeback dog you would say they come from Rhodesia, but they are actually from Southen Afica! They were used to hunt lion; this is most likely why this dog is known for its bravery.

The Rhodesian Ridgeback's distinguishing feature is the ridge of hair along its back, running in the opposite direction to the rest of its coat. It consists of a fan-like area formed by two whorls of hair (called "crowns").
