Troubadour Ranch Rhodesian Ridgebacks

Troubadour Ranch is family owned. We raise Al Khamsa Egyptian Arabian Horses, Angus Cattle and AKC Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

All of our animals are family pets, horses are raised in a herd and dogs are in the house. Puppies and foals are imprinted and loved.

Love how this calf is coming along! We are retaining him as a bull but have another bull calf that is a little younger and really nice also.

We always defer to breed experts, so Phu Quoc Ridgeback people, please correct us if we get something wrong here.

All three ridgeback breeds (the Phu Quoc, Rhodesian, and Thai) share an identical mutation responsible for their ridge. Some sources say the mutation likely originated in Asia and spread through via trade routes, or perhaps by migration (as opposed to evolving independently).

The ridge is caused by a duplication of the FGF3, FGF4, FGF19, and ORAOV1 genes on chromosome 18, which disrupts hair follicle development and creates the backward-growing ridge. The ridge allele (R), by the way, is dominant. Dogs with R/R (homozygous) or R/r (heterozygous) genotypes typically display a ridge, but some 5% of R/r dogs may lack a ridge because of genetic modifiers that suppress the trait. Dogs that lack a ridge are r/r (recessive homozygous).
