Rhodesian Ridgebacks CAN Herd Sheep!!! Isn't that about as unlikely as the lion lying down with the lamb? Not really. Ridgebackers like to vaunt our breed's versatility, and herding ability is one intriguing facet of our multi-purpose hounds.

Below is a group photo taken August 2nd @ EWE-Topia near Roy Washington. As Joe Kapelos, Shepherd of Ewe-topia gave an overview of what was expected of each owner and dog, the question came up, How much does Sheep cost? Fortunately, no one had to find out. It was a huge success as 34 Ridgebacks participated, all but two passed their Herding Instinct Certificates. The herding will be an annual event for the NWRRC.
