Dear PF
Like to share this infomation with you all.
This dog named AH DUMMP (mean balck in Thai) was belongs to Mr. Hanno from Germany now PR in Thailand. He is my swiftlet partner and managing our Swiftlet Birdhouse in Trang Thailand.
I believe many of us hardly known or view a RIDGEBACK'S dog before.
There are 2 breeds of RIDGEBACK'S dog. One is called RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK dog found in South Africa. Its country of origin is Zimbabwe and the other one is called THAI RIDGEBACK Dog (Mah Thai)found in Thailand.
No one is sure of the exact THAI RIDGEBACK'S origin, but the breed did come from Eastern Thailand. Some rock art depicts dogs similar to the Thai Ridgeback which suggests the breed may be very old. The THAI RIDGEBACK is rare outside of Thailand; as a result there has been much inbreeding in the country which has made the dogs very similar.
The THAI RIDGEBACK is a unique looking dog. Their name comes from the ridge on their back where its hair grows in the opposite direction to the rest of their hair.
