I don't understand why someone would not want a ridgeback that bays. If you wanted a bay dog, and a certain ridgeback fit the bill, then why not? Not trying to be a wise guy here, I'm just missing something.
Lets say I told you i had three bays dogs BMC, a Cat , and a Ridgeback. you dont think anything is kinda funny about that? no one would say "why do you have a BMC?" no they would they would wonder why you are draging along a 100 lb help dog. because if you dont have one these 45lb ancient breed ridgebacks that yall talk about that were breed bay you have a cull in my eyes. you will have just what everyone else has a big son of a gun, and if he isnt big you couldnt tell him that. I put a all bay Ridgeback right next to an all bay dogo hopefully in someone elses yard.
