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.
In the earlier parts of its history, the Rhodesian ridgeback has also been known as Van Rooyen's lion dog, the African lion hound or African lion dog â simba inja in Ndebele, shumba imbwa in Shona âbecause of its ability to keep a lion at bay while awaiting its master to make the kill.he theory's detractors note that the Rhodesian ridgeback was not only developed in the late 19th century and standardized in the early 20th century, but developed specifically to hunt to the gun and as such is in fact a very modern creation, and anything but primitive.
