Re: [RC] Was Fitness-Now Trail Dogs - Karen Sullivan

Debbie, no need to lurk!!  I actually had two Ridgebacks that were like
that.  One was a sort of rescue retired
show dog so I could certainly excuse him for not liking country life.  The
other we raised here as a puppy....so I
don't know what happened!!!

I do know if I ever feel inclined to get another Ridgeback (and I really did
like the breed), I will certainly talk to you
first!!

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

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! ;)
