Mostly nice dogs in this thread. But some of them do look like they sound a bit ruff to be fair.
Get your coat on the way out!

Can anyone recommend a good guide or tips for recall.
Got some great fenced in fields near me, that when it's quiet, I would love to let Maddie off the lead in.
Problem is I can't trust her when there's another dog insight, she's off to say hello no matter how many time you scream her name.

Thank you, Ad.Sad times but happy times also.
Welcome to Spanner ownership
I keep looking at dog adoption websites.
Maddie loves to met and play with other dogs when we're out on walks. I do wonder what she'll be like with full time doggy friend...
Edit, nvm won't let me post the picture.
I've added a link that seems to work. I have seen a few that could be described as a bit sharp. We did our research and found a very good breeder and got a bit lucky too. He's very calm and quiet but he will let you know if there's someone new around. He knows all the regulars though like the postman, very intelligent and quite sensitive breed.That's a shame, it's a breed I have always quite fancied, but I know some lines can be very protective. There's a lovely one around Whitchurch here, but I'm always in the car whenever I see it, so have never been able to speak to the owner.
They are rewarding but one for the experienced owner, powerful and athletic sums them up. If you're firm but fair, never harsh and consistent they're great. Takes about 2 years to get out of puppy stage and I'd say 3-4 years before they fully mature.Link works fine, dog looks fine, everything's fine Thanks I do like the sound of Ridgebacks. Got to resist!

had a ridge back yrs ago .. my dog while the wife had cockers (show dogs ) it was fine for 13 months then one day all it wanted to do was eat them .. had to take it back to the breeder LINDA COX .. loved that dog but with 5 cockers that were being shown it couldn't stay
it was a female ..there was no jealousy food aggression or anything she was brought up with them from a pup 12 weeks old ..it was like a switch in her head just turned ..Was there a mix of entire males? Mine loves playing with other dogs, goes to the kennels for a "play day" every week. He's not so keen if another male growls at him now. Took him about 4 years before he became a "man dog". They are slow to mature.
I suppose it's like people, some just grow up to be a bit grouchy. We had a dachshund like that when I was young, started off fine and just went a bit psycho as she grew up.it was a female ..there was no jealousy food aggression or anything she was brought up with them from a pup 12 weeks old ..it was like a switch in her head just turned ..
Sorry to hear that..
Per the other comment we started with high value treats and a long lead, Barkley sort of got it but not when there was something more exciting especially any other dog so we avoided walks in places that would be dangerous and then kept going with the treats and a combination of that and him getting older has it sort of under control.Can anyone recommend a good guide or tips for recall.
