My Rhodesian Ridgeback

in rhodesianridgeback •  7 years ago 

Hi everybody
Today I want to write about my RR, whose name is Soksi ( a Swahili word that means Socks).

It's name is due to his white paws, not so common among Rhodesians.

When we decided to take a Rhodesian, we have read a lot about this race.
It was exactly what we were searching for: good for our kids but also a great watchdog.
And that's exactly what Soksi is. But I completely forgot what people told me about his character.

My previous dog was a Golden Retriever and my mistake has been to treat a Rhodesian like a Retriever.
Rhodesians are proud, and you don't have to come down to him full throttle. The best way to live with him is to cooperate and then he will follow you everywhere.

Nowadays he is grown up, he is about 42 kgs. I teach him new things everyday and I'm proud about our relationship.
This is the proof that sometimes is better to keep our pride silent and listen to the others, also to dogs.
