All the way from Hungary?!? Wow! You don't play! Lol!

Haha, yeah looking back I don’t know how it got to this either lol. My first preference would have been driving distance!

When I decided on researching deeper into my “dream” breeds and then it was green light for the Thai Ridgeback, I talked to a couple breeders here who told me no pups were available now (from reputable breeders) in the US, and that some ‘good’ dogs of this breed were coming out of Eastern Europe now. Unlike most domestic dogs, they’re a primitive breeed and only come into heat once a year, usually in the fall, so makes them even more hard to find. The timing was perfect . Must be meant to be?

Surprisingly, although champion bloodlines, rareness doesn’t figure into price. This breeder sells at a *very* reasonable price. Less than many popular purebreds. The shipping is the bad part though. Not to mention my customs agent isn’t the sharpest... crossing fingers all will go well next Tuesday!

So yeah... He’s Hungarian . His name isn’t though. It will be revealed when he gets here!

My little red mutt has Ridgeback blood in her... we did the DNA test (only 50 bucks) and it showed that. A cool thing: Ridgebakcs have NO ODOR, or so I read, and neither does my dog. Smells like a stuffed animal or pillow. Amazing. People think I must wash her every day!

Wow Gail, that’s so cool that you did the dog breed DNA test! It’s Pinky, right? What other breeds did it say? Did it say Italian Greyhound? I think it’s fascinating that they can do that. Same with the 23andme or ancestry thing for humans.

Mine is a Thai Ridgeback, not a Rhodesian Ridgeback . I’ve heard the same thing though. That they’re a breed without doggie odor. That’s good... I like “clean” animals . The hair is extremely short; shorter than normal short dog hair, and he’s almost hairless on some parts. They told me I should get dog clothes for the winter lol. Even though it doesn’t get super cold here, they don’t have enough hair for warmth. A large dog with clothes on haha.
