fyi, ridgebacks are supposed to be big game bay dogs. that doesnt mean all the bad breeding hasnt changed the now american show dog into catchy ridgebacks. just like many breeds the hunt has been bred out of them for show qualities.
There is definately some truth to that, hound breeders just about ruined the Redbones and Black & Tans by focusing on the show ring! Thank God both breeds are making a come back. Now all you Red and Black Dog guys dont go hateing I'm just stateing what I believe to be true
