Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Red is part Rhodesian Ridgeback, and possibly part Boxer--has small white blaze on chest. Does not have ridge on back. Almost two years old. Is similar to Rhodesians in every other way. Red is a stunning dog: check out the deep chest, long forelegs, high elbows close to the body. Coat is short, dense, and glossy, hindquarters are muscular. Red is a shy, sweet, sensitive fellow. Unlike his brother, Rusty, Red is not afraid of children but is wary of strangers. It takes Red a while to build trust, but once bonded, he is your ENTHUSIASTIC best friend, gives great hugs. Those who know the Rhodesian breed are well aware these dogs are sensitive and respond only to positive reinforcement, they need a good pack leader. They also need plenty of exercise--they are a hunting breed. A secure fence is a MUST. Red enjoys playing with female dogs--running and wrestling are favorite pastimes. He also likes hanging out with his brother, Rusty. Not particularly interested in cats. We are looking for a gentle, compassionate, experienced pack leader who is willing to patiently work with Red. HE IS A GREAT DOG, just needs more time than other dogs to adjust to new situations. Neutered, up to date on all shots, HW neg, and microchipped.
