Are Rhodesian Ridgebacks good with kids?

Yes. They are VERY energetic but they will return love if you give it. I had a rhodesian ridgeback myself. i took care of him myself and im 13. they eat alot and require alot of exersice. he got along well with my pitbull. over all they are great dogs. minimal shedding, but they eat alot. Mine always ate the majority of my pitbulls food after his own.
