Psyche Williams: The author also seems unaware of the Rhodesians heroic feats, in Africa, the US and other countries of the world. She also was not aware that Disney starred a RR and that another had a split second cameo in Silence of the Lambs..that they have been in many commercials, Vogue advertisements and the heroic deed/rescue on America's Most Wanted. National Geographic profile of their ability to detect a crash with their manic depressive owners and one of my pups detected cancer with their owner and caused her to seek a doctors opinion and diagnosis. If it were not for her RR's nose the owner would have never known till it was possibly too late.

Allex Michael: I was not aware of all their feats. It sounds like Rhodesians have more than their share of accomplishments. I have seen a few print adds with ridgebacks and the film Psyche refers to is the 1993 Disney production A Far Off Place, where two children, a bushman and a ridgeback brave the Kalahari desert under dire circumstances. Few references even mention the dog.

I have no doubt that Psyche Williams's dogs are a ringing endorsement of the breed and if I wasn't so committed to adopting dogs from the pound, I would really like to get one of her ridgebacks when Ebbey's time comes. The question is are her ridgebacks exceptional or just average examples of the breed?

Ebbey Trivia with Photos has some revealing behaviors, some of which are very characteristic of ridgebacks.
