[RC] Was Fitness-Now Trail Dogs - Ridecamp Guest

==========================================

I usually lurk, but had to respond to Karen's post regarding Ridgebacks.  
Nothing against Karen, we've actually corresponded and visited at Convention, 
but I think she had a dud of a Ridgeback!  I have several, and they are the 
most loyal companions, and are always more than willing to go with me, where 
ever...whenever...no matter what the weather...And they have defended me from 
attacking dogs, scary people, and occasionally from perceived dangers.  
(Strange dogs invading our spot in Ride Camp, tumbleweeds blowing against the 
truck in the night, jackrabbits eating our hay, etc..)  They are very athletic 
and fast, and don't "heel" the horses.  A 20 mile training ride is their 
favorite thing, with a few side trips to chase rabbits or coyotes.  They are 
very warm to sleep next to on those cold Spring or Fall rides, too.  I've had a 
couple ACDs over the years, and always ended up finding them new homes with 
cattle ranchers, where it was OK to bite heels and noses.  Well, there's my 
experience, FWIW.  Back to lurking! ;)
