About Langly the Puppy | |
|
|
Langly is one of a litter of puppies we rescued from a homeless camp. Don't judge ~ the gentleman who had them really cared about them and slept with them in a tent at night when it was cold. He knew he couldn't provide for them as they needed and asked our help. We've promised him they will all find wonderful homes. We know their momma was a Rhodesian Ridgeback but have no idea who daddy was. We expect that they will be ready for their forever homes by the end of January.
1/22 Foster Update:
I describe Langly as my little teddy bear! He is the cutest fluffiest bounciest little thing ever! He seems to be quite brave for a little guy. Very smart! He is a great listener, is crate trained (he will wake you up in the middle of the night if he really has to go) and I would say he is about 90% potty trained. No accidents in almost a week and if he does have one it's my fault bc he goes quietly to the front door and sits down. He has the cutest little bounce when he runs and LOVES stuffed animals that have the sqeaker inside! He gets along great with other dogs, even big dogs, when he sees a big dog he runs up to it with his little tail wagging rapidly and starts rolling on the ground in front of it, like, WOO!!! Play with me please!!!! It is so cute! He will make an amazing dog for the right family.
2/1 Foster Update:
I have really gotten to know Langly this week since his brother, Tallaway, was adopted and now it's just him. What a sweet, loving and intelligent little boy! He LOVES being outside as you can tell from the pictures, but he also loves playing with his toys inside, running around and pouncing on them like a cat! If he finds one that he really likes he will shake it around in his mouth and run all over the house with it, it is so funny! He is responding very well to "NO", and going to the door when he has to go potty outside. (The little picture of him sitting down is what he looks like when he needs to go out.) Or when he just wants to go out and play. He absolutely loves playing with our neighbors dog and will go to their door to see if she can come outside to play with him. I can't wait to see him in a forever home! What a great dog he is going to be!
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Rhodesian Ridgeback, originally from Zimbabwe, resulted from crosses between ridgebacked dogs originally kept by native tribes in South Africa and other breeds, such as the Khoikhoi dog, Mastiff, Deerhound and some breeds that are not known. It was the native Khoikhoi dog that gave the Ridgeback his distinctive reverse-hair coat marking, a dominant characteristic that today makes him unique among dog breeds. The ridgebacks were imported by Boer settlers in the 16th and 17th centuries. Its standard, fixed in Rhodesia, dates from 1922. The Rhodesian Ridgeback was used for many purposes. This impressive, protective hound could hunt game, retrieve, take care of children, and guard property. South African hunters discovered that the Ridgeback, used in packs, was very effective against lions, hence the breed's other name, the African Lion Hound. The Rhodesian Ridgeback is well adapted to the harsh African environment. He can withstand very high temperatures and the damp cold of night. It is insensitive to insect bites and can go without food and water for over 24 hours. The Rhodesian Ridgeback is ferocious in the hunt, but in the home it is a calm, gentle, obedient, good dog. Good-natured, but some do not do well with children because they do not want to be pestered or played with roughly. They are intelligent, cunning but straight-forward dogs that are loyal to the family, have something of a mind of their own, are brave, vigilant, reserved toward strangers, and possess considerable stamina. This breed needs thorough obedience training, socialization with people and other dogs, and firm owner leadership to become the excellent companion he can be. Ridgebacks react best to an extremely consistent and equable approach to training. They are intelligent and learn quickly, but they are also strong and a b
