Don't Support Euthanizing healthy puppies
The authors advocate killing puppies born without a ridge.Why not spend your money elsewhere?

In defense of the book!!
I read this book and spoke with Janet before buying my RR and consider it completely prepared me for ownership. Dog training I learned elsewhere as this is common to all breeds rather than specific to the RR or this book.

The book is written by a very experienced RR breeder in the UK and is a pleasure to read. I recommend it to anyone considering an RR who wants to gain a broad background description of character traits, requirements and history of the breed.

Out of Date
As the owner of two Ridgebacks,I read this book awhile ago.I reread it recently and there are many out of date subjects.It explains that puppies born with Dermoids or Ridgeless should be put to sleep.I bought a puppy to discover that he had 3 large Dermoids.Many vets do this operation now.Dermoids surgery is anywhere from $150-500.What is the matter with a Ridgeless puppy?Nothing.At least find a good home for the puppy.Many people dont mind a ridgeless.Out dated vaccination info.I recommend Natural Health for Dogs and Cats by DR Pitcairn.

The Complete Rhodesian Ridgeback
Very good book if you are geared toward showing your dog. Or if you were really interested in the the lineage of the breed in three countries. For the novice recipient of such an awesome
dog, I found it completely lacking in real world advice, save for one chapter. I guess I should have bought " ridgebacks for dummies" because this book mostly went over my head. The content was well written, though. The Authors know the breed.

A good book for a tuff breed
Ridgebacks are not easy dogs, and this book helps you understand that.Little things like explaining why your Ridgeback will retrieve a ball once or twice, but then get board unlike many popular canines is very helpful.This is a great book to help a person get to know the breed, but if youalready have a Ridgeback I hope and pray that there is nothing in here thatyou don't already know.I have raised, trained, and have shown twoRidgebacks and I love the breed more than many other breeds I have workedwith.As always the best place to learn about a dog is talking to arespected breeders, trainers, and handlers, but this book is helpful withunderstanding the important background of this great breed. ...

Product Description
'The publication of the Collected Works of Ritchie makes available the writings of a pivotal social philosopher who was instrumental in merging Idealism with liberalism, utilitarianism, and evolutionary ideas. Ritchie greatly influenced early 20th-century British welfare thinking in his blend of individualist and communitarian arguments and is now recognized as having constructed a vital bridge between social theory and policy. Peter Nicholson is a leading and highly respected scholar of Idealism and his edition of Ritchie's works will be warmly welcomed by philosophers, political theorists, and historians of ideas.'- Michael Freeden, Professor of Politics, Oxford University

David George Ritchie (1853-1903) was a key figure in the Idealism movement. Influenced by Hegel, Bradley, Toynbee, and above all T. H. Green, his political philosophy was firmly rooted in a concern for practical application. The foundation of his ethics was the ideal of the citizen's social well-being. He aimed to organize the fields of practical philosophy with the principles of Idealism, and in doing so combined his critical philosophy with his interest in modern science, history and Darwinism. In the history of political thought he was an important channel for the development and transfer of Green's ideas into the New Liberalism and socialist thinking.

This collection brings together for the first time all Ritchie's philosophically important works, including a wealth of hard-to-find materials. Together they represent the wide range of his philosophical interests - from the philosophy of history, metaphysics, religion, and evolution, to animal rights, the morality of war, and the philosophy of art. The collection belongs in all serious libraries of philosophy and politics. ... Read more
