Hoʻohālikelike ʻia ke ʻano o ka Ridgeback e kona wā i hala ma ke ʻano he ʻīlio hahai holoholona ikaika a hoʻomau i nā ʻāina paʻa ʻole a hihiu o ʻApelika Hema. He akamai, hilinaʻi iā ia iho, makemake e aʻo, a kaulike. I ka manawa like, he paʻakikī loa a he poʻo paʻakikī.
Inā hāʻawiʻia ka'īlio i kahi hana i hauʻoli a hoʻomaopopoʻo ia, hoʻoleiʻo ia iā ia iho i ka hana piha i ka ikaika a me ka hoihoi. Eia naʻe, inā ʻaʻole kūpono ka hana no ka Ridgeback, e kūʻē ʻo ia a makemake e hele i kona ala ponoʻī.
Manaʻo ʻia ka ʻīlio he aloha aloha a aloha i kona ʻohana oiai e mālama ʻia ana a kānalua i nā malihini a me nā ʻīlio.

ʻOi aku ka ikaika o kāna ʻano hahai holoholona a hiki ke wehe i nā kūlana i manaʻo ʻole ʻia. He kūpaʻa ʻo ia a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi i kāna poʻe mālama, akā ʻaʻole ia e hoʻolohe a hilinaʻi paha. He haʻaheo nō ka ʻīlio a ʻaʻole makemake ʻo ia e hele pū me kēlā me kēia hoʻoholo "he ʻakaʻaka" no ia.
No hea mai ka Rhodesian Ridgeback?
ʻO ke ʻano hilinaʻi a haʻaheo o ka Rhodesian Ridgeback ua kūpono loa me kona mōʻaukala i hānau ʻia ma ʻApelika Hema. ʻOiai ma mua o ka noho ʻana o ka ʻāina, ua mālama ʻia nā kūpuna o ka Ridgeback e nā kamaʻāina a hoʻohana ʻia no ka hopu holoholona a me ka pale. No kēia mau kūpuna nō hoʻi ke ʻano o ke kua.
I ka wā i noho ʻia ai ʻo ʻApelika Hema i ke kenekulia 17, ua hauʻoli ka poʻe hahai holoholona hihiu i nā ʻano a me ke olakino ikaika o nā ʻīlio nui ʻApelika. Hoʻomaka lākou e hānai i kā lākou mau ʻīlio ponoʻī a lākou i lawe pū ai. Aia ma waena o lākou nā ʻano ʻīlio ua like me Great Danes, Terriers, a me Greyhounds. Pono kēia e "hana" i kahi ʻīlio i hoʻohana ʻia i ka ʻinoʻino o ʻApelika Hema. I ka manawa like, pono ʻo ia e ikaika, ʻeleu, a wiwo ʻole e mālama i nā pāʻani nui weliweli e like me nā liona ma ke kai! A ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻa ka ʻīlio e hoʻokokoke pono i nā pōpoki nunui!
I ka makahiki 1922, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia ka ʻīlio ʻīlio Rhodesian Ridgeback ma ke ʻano he maʻamau no ka manawa mua ma ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo Rhodesia - ʻo Zimbabwe i kēia lā. I kēia mau lā, hāʻawi pinepine ʻia ʻo ʻApelika Hema ma ke ʻano he ʻāina kumu, no ka laʻana me ka FCI.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ʻApelika, he ʻīlio kiaʻi kaulana a he ʻīlio hoʻomalu ka ʻīlio, ʻoi loa ma nā mahiʻai a ma nā kuaʻāina. ʻAʻole i hānau ʻia ka pua mua ma ʻEulopa a hiki i ka makahiki 1974. I loko o nā makahiki, ua hoʻokumu pū ka ʻīlio ʻīlio iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he ʻīlio kiaʻi kaulana, ʻoiai koi, a ma lalo o kekahi mau kūlana, e like me ka he ilio ohana.

Inā leʻaleʻa ka ʻīlio me nā ʻano hoʻonaʻauao a ʻike i ke ʻano, a laila hauʻoli ʻo ia a aʻo koke. Eia naʻe, inā manaʻo ʻo ia e kau ʻia ma lalo o ke koʻikoʻi nui, kū pinepine ʻo ia i ke ala.
E like me ka nui o nā ʻīlio ʻīlio ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka hoʻoikaika maikaʻi ke ala kūpono o ke aʻo ʻana i nā ʻīlio. ʻO ka hoʻomanawanui, ka huhū, ka huhū, ka huhū, a i ʻole ka palekana i ka mea a lākou e mālama ai he hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻīlio. No laila, ʻaʻohe o lākou wahi ma ka hoʻonaʻauao.
Inā ʻāhiu loa nā ʻīlio a piha i ka ikehu, mau ka wā ʻōpio o Ridgeback a hiki i ka makahiki haʻaheo o ʻekolu makahiki. Makemake nui nā ʻīlio e neʻe a pono e kaulike me nā hoʻoikaika kino a me ka noʻonoʻo i kēlā me kēia lā.

ʻO ka ʻiʻo a me ke kaulike ka meaʻai kūpono no nā ʻīlio ikaika. Inā makemake ʻoe, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokaʻawale i kēia ʻano ʻīlio.
Ma muli o ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka ʻīlio i ka wela wela o ka hema o ʻApelika a no laila pōkole loa ko lākou hulu, hiki i nā ʻīlio ke maloʻo i ka wā hoʻoilo koʻikoʻi ma Kelemania. No laila hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ke kapa ʻīlio i ka hoʻoilo.
