Some ridgebacks are born ridgeless. Rhodesian ridgebacks are one of the most unique dogs on the planet. Named for the noticeable ridge of hair that grows backwards along their spine, these clever dogs are easy to spot in a crowd. However, not all ridgebacks are born with this distinctive patch of hair.ome puppies are born without the ridge, but it is a disqualifying fault according to the American Kennel Club. The lack of ridge is the result of a genetic flaw that is spread through poor breeding practices.
The Rhodesian Ridgeback has also previously been known as Van Rooyen's lion dog or the African lion hound or African lion dogâsimba inja in Ndebele, shumba imbwa in Shonaâbecause of its ability to keep a lion at bay while awaiting its master's arrival to make the kill.
