Rhodesian Ridgeback

[Hunter300]

I do agree that some breeds ate not really suitable for deer dogs, but it depends more on the trainer/training than the breed

Rhodesian Ridgeback, powerful athletic and faithful companion, strong tracking instinct.

Really good article. And rather reinforces that many of those in the UK look like Ridgebacks, but are not the true dog. Also many dogs in the UK would never get the outdoor in bush type experience.

Mate has a ridgeback we intent to use for deer tracking. Still a pup but a massive thing at 12 months old.
Being a hound they have good noses although kinda cross between a sight and scent hound.
should be good to detect deer as well. I will update you when proper training starts.

My 2nd favourite breed

As a child I had a cross between RR and great Dane- soft as sadsa

Also jack Russels which are not

Both make good bush dogs breeds but I’ve not trained any to the gun

Eating sadsa and bush meat on a road trip, thanks for bringing back the memories!

my sisters neighbours RRs were definitely not soft as sadsa - barking and jumping to face level when you went to their gate - luckily the gate was 7ft heigh! That said, I am sure they were softies with people they knew.
