Help for a potential new owner
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.

Thai Ridgeback Girl im currently in the process of adopting
She's been staying at my place since last Thursday on a trial basis; it's been great!
We still have a bit of training to do, but she has been handling my living situation on a farm so well.
She's alert, but very sensitive and responsive, we've already formed a strong bond.
My two cats on the other hand have not been too amused about it, but even though she really wants to interact with them, she's being respectful about their personal space; they are already able to move in the same room, with her staying put on the sofa
