fyi, ridgebacks are supposed to be big game bay dogs.
Ridgebacks are supposed to be all rounders for the farm & for large game hunters. I've been told about a woman and her two ridgebacks that would catch warthogs for her & let her dispatch the warthog with a rifle while they held it by the ears. Think of them like a ridged cur - that's all they're supposed to be. Some used them as gun dogs & some used them around their livestock & families.
People hunt them both as bay and as catch now, it just depends on who you ask on any given day.
Just my .02 on what they're "supposed" to be
