Get to know Jackson
Rhodesian Ridgeback, 7 years old
Jackson
was adopted!
He came from RSPCA Block Fen .
My favourite thing about Jackson is...
He is so gentle and loves to cuddle.
The biggest challenge with Jackson is...
He was a cruelty case and was not socialised.
The most surprising thing about owning a Rhodesian Ridgeback is...
Their intelligence.
What I wish I’d known about Rhodesian Ridgebacks is...
How wilful the are!
Did you know?
The anatomical feature that gives the breed its name is the ridge of hair that grows down its back - and makes it instantly recognisable. This ridge is formed by the hair growing in a totally different direction to the rest of the coat and is capped at the top with two ‘crowns’ (whorls) that are directly opposite each other. This is shared by only one other (far less common) breed, the Thai Ridgeback.
