Are Rhodesian Ridgebacks good with kids?

Yes, Rhodesian Ridgebacks can be good with kids, but, like all dogs, pet parents need to train them to behave gently with children and vice-versa. Rhodesian Ridgebacks are large, exuberant dogs who can be a bit too rambunctious for small children, though they make wonderful, albeit protective playmates to active, older kids.

As with any breed, it is recommended that parents always supervise children when interacting with a dog to keep both the child and dog safe.
