    Sooo helpful!! I thought my guy was either dumb or untrainable!! I watch others play fetch with envy... but we do have fun playing catch inside the home. When he's proud of his catch and feeling playful, he'll come back to me with a giant smile, but then hide to "eat" his ball or toy. Definitely doesn't like to share!

    I so enjoy your videos and seeing your absolute devotion to your Ridgeback‘s. Penny and Zero have such a unique relationship. And it was fun in this video seeing how their friend, who actually does fetch, fits into the equation. What fun!

      For me it was the same thing with my Old English Sheepdog. He would follow the tennis ball as it was rolling but when it stopped he would just walk away. He would chase and bark at RC cars but fetch was beyond him. He was lovable but can't say that he was dumb as a rock because he would sometimes be outwitted by a rock. I miss him.

    My ridgeback (Indy) was not into playing fetch with a ball but one day we came across a soft frisbee and he LOVES playing fetch with it. he has gotten so great at it that he catches it while its still in the air all the time now. everyone who sees him doing it is so impressed by how fast he is!

    Everything in this video is so true. My Ridgeback can catch pretty well though. I love how they always crouch down low and stare at each other for a while before running and playing. Mine does that with the neighbor Ridgeback when they play together too.

    haha I laughed SO hard watching this as my Rhodesian sleeps lazily on the couch beside me. Luka is clumsy to the fullest regard until it's time to play with his best friend and neighbor dog, Bowser-- he's quick and majestic. But fetch, is.not.happening and this video truly speaks to what it looks like when Luka is tossed ANYTHING to fetch. He actually turns to jello and flops all over the place; all 100+lbs of him. I love your videos and blog!! I've come to reference your products you recommend quite a bit, and without fail, they've come in handy when we adopted Luka and had little to no experience with Ridgies. He's my greatest research study, and my very best friend.

    I have a part ridgeback part catahoula that I adopted from a rescue. She actually likes catching frisbees. She will sort of bring them back. Normally gets them within about 15 feet before dropping them and making me go get them. She also loves tug of war. A really smart dog. My family has owned dogs my whole life, but this one and my last one were both rescues. I may be imagining it but both seem smarter than most of my purebreds.

    We kept Ridgebacks from 1980 - 2018 when we lost our last one. Ridgebacks don't fetch, we had a Lab for that. Ridgebacks are sighthounds, show them a hare or a deer and watch them go. Obviously ours never caught one, but got some serious exercise in the process.

  • @velocity313
    @velocity313 5 лет назад +5

    Yep. My Ridgeback will go get it and bring it to me 3 or 4 times. After that he just looks at me after I throw it as if he's saying "What's the problem here...why do you keep throwing it away after I bring it back to you?"

    Love your video. And your dogs are beautiful. I could always recognize a Ridgeback by the hair on their backs. Most people I’ve met don’t know their breed, but I always try to learn as many breeds as I can. Dogology is my favorite field of study-just for fun. However, I have three Shelties. Their main qualities are being blabber mouths-if you call that a quality. Lol. Love ‘em all!

  • @Anna-greyOwl
    @Anna-greyOwl 5 лет назад +1

    All true. So imagine our surprise Will when our ridgie Archer,at about a year old decided that he loved fetch! We couldn’t believe it,but he really took to the command “bring it back” and would happily fetch a favourite soft toy for a solid 10 mins at a time.He’s nearly 5 now and sometimes will still consent to a brief game if l ask and if he’s in the mood 😆

      Ridgebacks were originally bred from African hunting dogs and a mix of European breeds.

      @user-ws7ob9rn2x 5 лет назад

      You are correct. Wikipedia is my source, not the 20+ years I have been in the breed. I have zero knowledge about the breed that was apparently bred from vizslas per a ridgeback expert on RUclips.

But now that i thing about it, my RR is a poor fetcher for his treats, it's as if his eyes are closed when i throw a treat for him. Now his Lab brother, he's the king of treat fetching!

    Hey man just a quick question. Do you recommend neutering your male ridgebacks? We were speaking to the vets and he's not going to be used for breeding but we don't want to lose his character but we don't know if it will or not. If you could reply even with just a brief reason why/why not to that would be fantastic. Love your videos by the way and your dogs are gorgeous!

    • @MarkingOurTerritory

  • @DARKULEEZ
    @DARKULEEZ 4 года назад

    My first dog was a Ridgeback and he could catch anything. Especially food. When HE wanted to play fetch he would bring it back. Balls, Sticks and sometimes frisbees. He was EXTREMELY prey driven so I didn't lure corse him because if it wasn't alive it wasn't worth chasing. But my boy could catch.LOL

  • @Chivy_B
    @Chivy_B 5 лет назад

    I was wondering why Bane, my Ridgeback, seems to completely grasp the idea of chase but struggles on the returning aspect of everything I throw. I noticed Zero is awfully skinny in the stomach compared to my male Ridgey. I thought he is a healthy weight at 100lbs even but he does seem to tire easily on long runs which I've thought is strange for a breed that is supposed to cover 30 miles easily at a horse's pace. Has anyone else experienced this as well? Do I need to regulate his eating more strictly?

    • @MarkingOurTerritory
      @MarkingOurTerritory  5 лет назад

      I'm going to put together a video about this, because many people (myself included) aren't taught how to know what the healthiest weight for their dog is. All dogs should have a tuck/taper at their waists, with their back two ribs just visible under a thin layer of fat. Every dog's body has a unique shape, but the tuck should be present regardless. I find this graphic helpful - docs.google.com/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.morrisanimalfoundation.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Ffilesync%2FPurina-Body-Condition-System.pdf
      As for the endurance running thing, the other part of the story is that Ridgebacks have been bred larger than the original breed standard. Plenty of people will argue whether that's bad or good, but regardless it means a reduction in their ability as endurance runners. Zero is just shy of 100 lbs and incredibly fit, but can't match Penny's endurance. She's a runt, but she's actually closer to the breed's ideal working fitness than Zero is. For me it's not a bad or good thing, just different.

    Mine loves to play fetch and she's great at catch 😜

      @Gillian Vann no pure breed 😜 she just loves to chase things and found out if she brings the ball back we throw it again and she loves to run. Over time she got good at catching the ball too.

    Haha, I feel like I just watched my two RR's. If it's possible to have negative interest in fetch, that's what they have.
