Rhodesian Ridgebacks Play Fetch

Fast, agile and powerful, Rhodesian Ridgebacks are the perfect breed to play fetch….with the one minor exception being that most of the breed doesn’t have the faintest idea of why anyone would want to partake in the first place. Taking on a lion is one thing, but matching up against

Fast, agile and powerful, Rhodesian Ridgebacks are the perfect breed to play fetch….with the one minor exception being that most of the breed doesn’t have the faintest idea of why anyone would want to partake in the first place. Taking on a lion is one thing, but matching up against a tennis ball is a far more difficult challenge.

  1. amazing to see their starts… like jets from an airplane carrier… that are sure mach2 or more?

    Neeka has always been terrible at catching, even food. She lets it bounce off her head first. Khoi, on the other hand, just opens his maw and it would be near impossible NOT to miss. Playing fetch?…yeh, right Love seeing other Ridgies having the same issues. You have some great footage there..Thank you for getting it, because I’m generally too busy laughing to even remember to start recording.

    “Fetch-blindness” should definitely be listed in the breed standard!

    It looks like they could fit right in and play defense for my old high school baseball team.

    Oh I loved this video as it reminds me of Juley when she was younger as she would chase the ball but never return it to you either! Also had to tell you the crash at the end of the video is Priceless!!! Hope you all have a great weekend!

    On our first pair we ended up playing catch in the yard (my husband and I) with the dogs bouncing between us chasing the ball every time we threw it.

  7. I know a couple of poodles who look at me whenever I try to engage them with a look of “well, you threw it, you go get it!” And to think they were bred as waterfowl retrievers. Ha! Have fun times at the beach this weekend!

    Nikki thinks that if I threw it away she doesn’t want it either.

  9. Cupcake says:

    Ha! You crazy kids. I could watch you run up and down the beach and in and out of the water all day!

    Love and licks,
    Cupcake
    PS – I don’t fetch either, but probably for different reasons. Mom says it’s my tiny brain…
