A womanâs sense of smell is much stronger than a manâs. The portion of women's brains that is devoted to scent detection is larger than that of men's. One theory is that women require a greater sense of smell for selecting a suitable mate.
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.
Some Rhodesian Ridgebacks may have made it to the United States as early as 1911, but it wasn't until after World War II that large numbers were imported to the U.S., Britain, and Canada. The first Rhodesian Ridgeback registered by the American Kennel Club (AKC) was Tchaika of Redhouse, in 1955.he AKC recognized the breed that same year. Today, the Rhodesian Ridgeback ranks 54th in popularity among the 155 breeds and varieties recognized by the AKC. The Ridgeback is quite popular in South Africa, where he first began his journey as a breed.
