My family and i have been wanting a rhodesian ridgeback for some time now. My son is 8 and is ready for a new mate and responsibility. As are my wife and i.

Im a little concerned that i keep hearing they arent good for first time dog owners. My wife grew up with a Weimaraner but this will be a first dog for our family as a whole.

We intend in training it best we can and as soon as we get it, but what should i know here? What things can i expect other than the amazing characteristics everyone loves about them.
