My two boys, a Ridgeback and Siberian, to this day have not forgiven me for bringing in the "she devil"….. As for the cats (only one is brave enough to stand up to her) and teaching proper behavior with the help of water spray but man is she quick to get out of the way.. Life is no longer quiet and we wouldn't change it for the world and I thought Ridgebacks were addictive, nope they're just velcro dogs.... Welcome and have fun...
