My #RhodesianRidgeback guidebook is out now! Buy it at the link below because I don't have any backup plans in life!

Should you get a male or female Ridgeback? . It'

Should you get a male or female Ridgeback?

.

It's one of the most frequent question I get, so I'm finally putting together a video about it this week. There's no shortage of opinions on the matter, and mine is that the personality and disposition of the individual dog is always more important than any generalizations about either sex

That said, there are plenty of tendencies and stereotypes that I wish I had known more about when I first discovered the breed. Not because they're prescriptive, but because I think they can help inform people about some behaviors, mannerisms and quirks typically common to males or females

A good portion of a first time Ridgeback owner's mind is devoted to the question, "Is this [insert insane thing] normal?" so hopefully I can help assure people that they and their pup are in good company

If you have any questions or ideas you'd like to see addressed in the longer video, just let me know in the comments

Never have a plan which requires a Ridgeback to learn their lesson

.

"Surely they won't eat the thing which made them vomit for 24 hours." Oh yes they will. Joyfully

.

"Well at least now they know to avoid skunks." For sure, the 12th time it happens is definitely the time they get the message

.

Accepting that "Ridgebacks gonna Ridgeback" is an essential meditation every owner learns one way or another. I knew Zero was going to dive right back into Penny's jaws as soon as I took the wrap off his ears, so rather than hope he didn't, I waited a few extra days to let his wound heal

Whatever your current training frustration, I highly recommend setting you and your pup up for success by working with your dog's nature rather than trying to change it

Zero got his wings back!

After a week+, I finally felt his ear had healed enough to visit the beach without the babushka wrap. Can't be certain, but it definitely feels like he can jump a bit higher with his wings free and flapping again

Quinn turns 1 this weekend!

She won't remember her first year any more than an oak tree remembers an acorn. But as the Poet Laureate of New Jersey sings, "From small things, mama, big things one day come"

Q's first year was full of kisses and adventure, and I wish all her years filled the same. You can check out all of Quinn's year of Ridgeback adventures up on YouTube (link in stories)

Happy birthday, girlfriend!

Young Ridgebacks jump up at any sound

Wiser Ridgebacks know that when you have the comfy corner spot it's better to look before you leap

Especially in winter, I'm often greeted with eyes which say, "I love you, but this couch is really comfy so why don't you join me"

I can't prove it, but my theory is that the wilder the ears, the wilder the dog

Much like the girl herself, Penny's ears obey no masters and no laws. I tried to tame both the dog and the ears in puppyhood, but this fearsome threesome would have none of it. And in the end, I'm glad for it

Mayhem and her ears look best wild and free

NOBODY PUTS BABUSHKA IN A CORNER

Once you've contained and decontaminated the crime scene of a Ridgeback ear injury, the trouble then becomes how do you allow the ear the time it needs to heal while also ensuring your dog doesn't go stir crazy because you're scared they'll bust open the wound?

.

Again, enter @noflapearwrap. It's super easy to slip on, it's breathable, washable and the perfect beach accessory for a morning run. It protects Zero's ear while still allowing him to exercise. No more trying to wrap him in tape like a mummy, or trying to keep him stuck at home for a week without a good run

I have no affiliation with the company, but I think of buying one of these as the perfect Ridgeback Ear Injury insurance. Hopefully you won't need it, but you will be so incredibly grateful if you have it handy when you inevitably do!

.

Pro tip: Buy cheap melamine "magic" sponges (Not the expensive Mr. Clean branded ones) to help get that dried blood off your wall
