Have A Puppy? Think Well Before Choosing These Dogs

4. Rhodesian Ridgeback

The Rhodesian Ridgeback is characterized by a streak of hair down its back, and is sleek and powerful. It is affectionate, intelligent, and gentle with children. However, this dog is not suitable for most people because it requires more time and energy than most people have. In Rhodesia in the 1870s, this brave dog was known as a good protector against lions. Because it is an intelligent dog, it can become stubborn and strong-willed if not treated properly. This breed can become very destructive if it does not get enough exercise and does not recognize humans as authority figures. It is also likely to be combative with other dogs. With proper upbringing, this dog will be calm, gentle, and obedient.
