I grew up on a farm in Ohio and raised just about every kind of animal, but dogs and horses were always my favorite. I currently have a 4 yr old Ridgeback who is highly socialized and friendly. We’ve traveled the East Coast, the Alcan, and now parts of Alaska together. Ridgies are high energy so we go on at least one big adventure each day to encourage physical and mental fatigue, which also minimizes bad behaviors!
