Koda

Koda

Animal ID No: ARF931
Rescue Date: 2 November 2021
Adopted Date: 2 January 2022

Koda is a five month old male Rhodesian Ridgeback dog. He is a very handsome boy, with a personality to match. He has shown a gentle, friendly nature, getting on well with other dogs, and loving people, even the small variety.

He has shown confidence in meeting new situations, and has adapted to life on a farm as well as a stint as an inner city apartment dog.

                       

He has had a rocky start to life, having been born with several dermoid sinuses in his neck. This is a common defect in the breed, associated with the development of the distinctive ridge of fur along the back. However, he has had them removed by a very experienced vet who is quietly confident that they have been completely removed and will not impact him in the future.

                                                  

Koda is going to be a very big boy, male Rhodesian Ridgebacks commonly growing to 65 to 70 cm at the shoulder. He has a very playful nature, loving toys and other dogs to play with, and responding well to training with treats. He is almost reliably house-trained but like all toddlers will occasionally forget himself ; although he can use the doggy door , he may need a reminder to take himself outside.  He is also still a bit mouthy, like all puppies, though he is being discouraged from the habit.

                           

Koda is going to need space, requiring a couple of decent walks a day, and company. He will not be ideal to leave alone for long periods, and will become very attached to his family.

Koda at only three months of age.
