rhodesian ridgeback
o perro africano de león

Raza de perro de caza originaria de Sudáfrica que se caracteriza por tener una franja angosta de pelo blanco que crece a lo largo del dorso y en dirección contraria al resto del pelaje.

Esta característica fue heredada de un perro de caza local semisalvaje que fue cruzado con perros europeos. Es fuerte, activo y de gran aguante, tiene buena presencia y pelo corto, con orejas colgantes y un pelaje pardo lustroso. Tiene una alzada de 61–69 cm (24–27 pulg.) y pesa 30–34 kg (65–75 lb). Es un guardián y cazador competente (especialmente de leones), y un perro de compañía.
