Why I Bring My Rhodesian Ridgebacks on Vacation

[@DavidFrederick1560]

Loved the video. My ridgeback just passed away. He was an incredible friend. I hope they live a log and healthy life.

[@noone-xy9hw]

David Frederick Sorry to here!

[@gman1772]

I'd never keep another breed. Astonishing how they work their way into you're Family. Stubborn to the core. Loyal as well to the core. I've kept Ridgebacks for over 30 years.

[@dagnabbit6187]

Ridgebacks are the best. Not that you are looking for it, but this video should win awards for its quality.

[@Flaphand]

I once had a ridgeback in my family. Most amazing companions ever. Glad to see such a grand person taking care of them!

[@robertforester7938]

You are so a great at making theses videos with a good hearted message. I can only hope you will do more of them more often, I really feel you could do very well with your channel with more content and I think others do agree.

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement! Emily's maternity leave is up next week, so I will hopefully be able to ramp up content more frequently once we've settled into our new schedule.

[@robertforester7938]

Marking Our Territory That's great news! Your right family comes first always. Thank you for the reply and will be looking forward to the next video have a good afternoon and Love all three of your babies as much as possible ☺😁

[@SimplyAstridN]

Thank you for making such lovely and heart felt videos! I've throughly enjoyed watching your beautiful playful pups! I recently lost my childhood pet of 16 years and started to do some research into the Ridgebacks to fill that void my beloved friend left. I stumbled across your videos which only made me fall even more in love with the breed and pushed me over the edge to get one myself. Just two days ago I brought my Ridgeback baby boy! Safe to say I'm completely smitten with him and my heart is full of happiness again.

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

Glad to hear the good news! Choosing to open your heart again isn't the easiest thing to do, but it is the right thing.

[@cos626]

We had to say by to our 12 year old rotweiler in september. He raised our 4 boys as much as my wife and I did. Dogs are the greatest and loyal friend you can ever have. They are as much apart of the family as we are. Hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life by far. Miss ya Moe!!

[@seablackwithink8279]

So glad to see Zero has grown into his potential. I lost my 1st RR 1.5 yrs ago and adopted another 3 months back.Yourvideosbring a lot of joy & knowledge:) R.I P. EKO & My BlueDog

[@jamesgarner346]

Thanks for the great video. Our Ridge died half a year ago and i am not yet over it. Wonderful dogs with a strong character.

[@1kishababy]

We have 2 female Ridgebacks also. the oldest is 9 years old and she has been going camping on the shore of Lake Champlain VT since she was a pup. Now we are looking forward to bring her 9 months old sister to Vermont next year as well. Ridgebacks are super dogs, they are great with people, kids and love camping!

[@marcussfebruary9104]

Wow this is so so beautiful, I know this amazing bond that a man can have with his dog, I have 3 scotties and they are my dearest and closest friends and the experiences with them are unforgettable, without them I can have fun, but then I miss so much.

[@TWBlack]

Looks like a wonderful time was had by all!! Was so wanting another Ridgeback, but God had other ideas and we are proud new owners of a rescued Weimaraner/Lab mix to add to our family of 3 miniature Doxies!! He's about the same size a Ridgeback and oh so smart. Most of the little ones are most welcoming, the little princess has a bit of a problem and is trying her hardest to make him understand that she IS the PRINCESS....rofl. He's getting the hint and stays out of her way. He's going to be the best protector of us and his little ones, I have no doubt. He already makes the rounds of the house before bed and in the morning to check it all out (have only had him for 4 days). We love him soooo much and are truly blessed to have him!!

[@ofalejandro12]

Lucky you I lost mine 😔3 years ago I Love Rhodesians The best friend you can ever have

[@scottbond2456]

Get over her i lost her a short time ago my advice to you is run dont walk and get another i would but i now have a found pit .that i realy believe it was a gift from my little girl tara.but there is a not day that i talk to my pit luvy about her angel Tara.

[@robertnewman668]

I have a Ridgeback, Josie, they are fantastic brilliant animals. I can fully understand your love for them

[@intuit100]

I have been following you for years and You are a natural born story teller and I look forward to each one. LOVE each and every video. You have a beautiful family. God bless you and yours always and keep the video's coming :)

[@Jm-mp9mr]

These vacation videos are always my favorite, that's for sharing the incredible moments

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

Thanks! The vacations always seem so short, so I'm glad I have the photos and videos to keep with the memories.

[@prettyyorba1]

WOW!!! Beautiful dogs, an to see them enjoying themselves so much and interacting with their human so beautifully brings a smile to ones face. I am a Whippet person, so know Ridgebacks well from our race and coursing with them.

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

Thanks! My guys love whippets, because anytime we see them it inevitably means they're about to get to chase the bunny!

[@dantton1987]

I've met this huge, beautiful Rhodesian Rixgeback today, and stumbled upon your channel when researching about the breed. Thank you for the heart warming videos. Subbed.

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

Thanks, glad you like the videos!

[@skibutte1]

Your videos and story-telling are just amazing. I love love loved this one! Thank you!!

[@keithdmedia9215]

You are the coolest person ever. You inspire me for my adulthood. Rock on man.

[@bird1003]

Awesome video, Rhodesians are special breed. Really it's nice to see happiness live with fours legs friends. Greatings from Poland!

[@reaganrodzinak9852]

I have two Rhodesian ridge back‘s but I still love watching your videos!!!

[@michelehaase5197]

We traveled everywhere with our RR. It was 13 wonderfully full years of planning life around our four-legged love bug .

[@janetyoung988]

Love your videos! Diesel is a new addition to our house. He's a yr and a half. He's amazing. Thanks for sharing

[@miker4671]

Our first RR was mixed with a Pitbull We adopted her she was with us for 15 years she recently passed away Enter Sparkles she is a full breed she is 2 years old She is huge and very friendly and when we are out with her she is the center of attention Out were we stay an RR is rare to see and we are often told this by dog lovers They are in awe when they see her

[@jhc3204]

What a wonderful vacation for you and your entire family!! Zero is getting to be a very big boy very quickly!

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

I think Lincoln must be sneaking Zero extra food at night or something. Zero's already about Eko's size and he's only 8 months!

[@darryltrimm7084]

I have an almost 16 year-old Ridgeless Rhodesian Ridgeback (google it.. it's a genetics thing). Except for the lack of a ridge she was exactly like these in the video when she was younger. At 12 she lost her left eye to a tumor and started getting arthritic joints and her once black face is now grey. I walk her every day and she can still put on a brief burst of speed. She sleeps probably 20 hours a day and gets along with everyone from youngest to oldest strangers and other dogs even though she can be quite aloof and seemingly uninterested at times. I don't know how much longer she will live but a part of me will die with her when that day comes.

[@peterguildford2133]

Hi, We lost our first Ridgeback gentleman at the age of 14. Typically of him, he didn't want to cause a fuss so he wandered out into the back yard to a remote part that was hardly ever used, laid down under a tree and died in the shade. Our other Ridgeback pined for him for months, and would go to his grave every morning and lye next to him. My wife says she died of a broken heart. The day will come, and it will be tough to say goodbye, but your Ridgeback has been a very lucky girl, to have such a loving home and owner.

[@dianetrusley3167]

I also have a ridgeless, and he is not one bit less special! ❤

[@clairevinet3557]

Charming and heart warming!🇨🇦👏🙏🏼💖🥰👍🏼

[@MultiChillidog]

such beautiful dogs, what a joy!

[@dlawe667]

Love your videos 👌🏻👍🏻😍, great family and beautiful dogs, best regards from Germany

[@Anna-greyOwl]

What a great trip! Thanks for still sharing your adventures Will,even though your time is extra precious what with your newest member of the tribe 🙂 My ridgeback Archer and l love seeing what you all get up to on your side of the planet.Cheers from Australia 🐨

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

Thanks! Bit of a delay since our last video, but I think we have a pretty good excuse in Lincoln. Hopefully now that things have settled down a bit I'll be back to regular posting.

[@MargaretJonesbenregis]

Brilliant! Been following your blog for ages, and just discovered your KZbin channel. Made my day!

[@Viditude]

About to take our first trip with Obi, 3yo RR, in September! A nervous wreck. Thank you for providing some confidence in squashing some of my fears.

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

It definitely takes some extra work to pull off, but I promise it's well worth the effort. You guys are going to have a blast.

[@juliuscaesart]

Love my rhodesian ridgeback. He was fairly easy to train too!

[@highridgegraphics2816]

Great video

[@FLjock01]

Great video. Great story. Nicely done.

[@Neutralwalltv]

So happy I discovered your channel. Beautiful dogs ❤️

[@n0blet47]

Dear Marking Our Territory, I just wanted to say thank you for making these great videos... They have helped me through when My dog died two months ago. You taught me to how to live in the moment and to never dwell in the past. Because of you I now have shared my love and got a five-year-old Ridgeback named Kenya that had been through a lot. Kenya had owners that did drugs, Kenya was in a car crash and was even on the streets at some point. Luckily after a few days, someone caught her and she was returned to her breeder where we got her a few weeks ago. As if life can't get more awesome I am getting one of Kenya's RIdgeback Puppies this year !!! Anyways I just wanted to say thank you for making great videos and the Messages behind them !!!

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad we've been able to help share some light during a dark time. Even happier to hear that in a small way helped contribute to you connecting with Kenya and a new pup. Congrats!

[@bxfrommtl]

If ever you come to Montreal, we have a pack of ridgeback here who would love to play with your family :)

[@kymmoulds]

Another great video. Many thanks.

[@marktrimm1190]

NICE!!! Could not imagine going on a Vacation W/O our malamutes... Love your Channel.

Beautiful vid

[@ricuswar]

Awesome video as always my pup is 15 kg at the moment and finally had his final injections today now he can go with me for the park for jogs.... Keep the videos coming they are a inspiration to me to take my dog on vacation with me

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

First trips to the park/beach/etc are always so much fun with a new pup. Enjoy every minute!

[@ricuswar]

i will thanks

[@chipfriday8166]

Max always beat me to the our king sized bed. At least he slept lengthwise and not across. He got his own pullout trundle when he grew to full size. He weighed 20# more than my wife and he often got in the way. A powerful animal who weighed 135 #s and not an ounce of fat. He could easily clear a six foot fence with no running start. It was magical to see him run and leap.

[@victoriouspauper8495]

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO !!!!!

[@xplayman]

Is there anyone else who couldn't stop thinking about Throne of Lies during that first song?

[@meganfox8729]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! I LOVE MY RHODESIAN

[@davidhernandez9985]

Love-em as well MsFox!

[@joylives_4her668]

Wow I just loved this random video!!! The entirety of it was amazing in my book. Can my family go on vacation with you next time!!! 😄 No really it was beautiful!!

[@peaceandlove5214]

I hope Hollywood see your videos and start a movie or TV shows like Lacy.

I can't wait to travel with mine ❤️🇿🇼

Can you share the food brand you use?

[@jackacres3936]

Lovely video, I miss my Ridgeback immensely after 12 years of ownership, could you tell what part of the States that was shot in?,it looks idyllic. Thanks

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

Thank you! We spent the week in South Hero, VT. Just north of Burlington.

[@jamesx7408]

Just great man

[@elizabethmontano2433]

Love this dogs 🥰🐾🐶

[@Janeway1269]

So you can swim in Lake Champlain in summer? Amazing! I thought it would be too cold. Do tell how it is! I love this video!

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

Yup, it's awesome! Posting an updated video tomorrow of our most recent trip

[@anthonydaniels8864]

How do you gain the trust to let off leash

[@tonyrainer1548]

We have a 7 month old smoothback (we were told that’s what you call a ridgeback without the ridge) he looks and acts just like zero but we can still see his ribs. How old was zero before he filled out and can you tell us how much food you give him and how often? We give ours 450grams per day split into three equal meals.

[@johnnyforeigner4768]

Brilliant.

[@leamartintorres]

Great vlogs man, Im triying to get my first Rhodesian, it's kindahard and expensive find them here. Greetings from Argentina!

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

Thank you - best of luck on your search!

[@b.s.murray630]

I found my male Rhodesian Ridgeback on Craigslist, the person that found him didn't know what he was and then we adopted him and after doing some research we found that he was the Rhodesian Ridgeback but his hairline does not stand up all the time. But he is sooo sweet.❤

[@MissSladousek]

I love your dogs! So beautiful and happy ... I really like your style of videos as well :)

[@CollectionFreak]

I have one question about this Breed. Do Rhodesians get droopy under eye lids when they get older? Like bloodhounds?

[@aardhond]

You should join a hounds man mate i would if i was living on that side of the big lake

[@Houndog545]

Hi What are they eating 4 minutes into the video

[@Bea2512]

Super 😍

[@gregorykarimian8064]

which kennel did you get your ridgebacks from? thanks

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

Eko and Penny are from Mystic Isle RR in NJ (John is no longer breeding litters, though). Zero is from Glass Creek Kennels in MI

[@gregorykarimian8064]

thank you. love your vids!

[@oldschoolhouse3818]

Top dogs geezer. Top hounds.

[@derek139]

I love that u put this message together in a very inviting way. Nobody understands why we take our pack on vacations with us. Facebook.com/labmaranerenthusiast I always find myself unknowingly smiling at ur videos.

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

Always glad when I can share some of the joy my dogs share with me. And once you bring your dog on vacation with you, it's hard to ever go back!

you got a Ridgeback to go in the water??? I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED I TELL YOU!!!

[@melindahart7980]

Doc Bailey My Ridgeback will walk in water up to the bottom of her chest and I thought that was an accomplishment!

[@Dekerus]

Lmao!!! I have a female, she is so scared of water. She does not even like it when it is raining.

[@dianetrusley3167]

My Ridgeback doesn't like water either, but I couldn't keep him out of the ocean. Go figure!

[@Dekerus]

@@dianetrusley3167 I have to go in with her. I live in Florida, on the east coast, 20 min from the beach. Would love to take her more, but in my county there is not one beach you can legally take a dog on to. Even little public run offs, off A1A, has signs, "No Dogs". It sucks cause she is so well trained.

[@dianetrusley3167]

@@Dekerus , I live in Tennessee, but we make frequent trips to Myrtle Beach, where dogs are allowed, especially during the off season. Come on up!

[@inesceulemans8586]

Can u drive 14 hours with an ridgeback in a car ?

[@kp2718]

Shall I create a Rhodesian / Weimaraner pack, by adding a male Ridgeback? What do ya think?

[@MarkingOurTerritory]

Bird dogs and Ridgebacks usually have nicely matching energy levels. And with proper socialization pretty much any combo can work.

Great videos. Thank you.

[@davidlodato9276]

[@adelag396]

Why wouldn't you take them on vacation? I'm even shocked someone wouldn't even think of taking then

[@almightyandz323]

Everything was cool but the one thing really annoying me is why jump in the pond with shoes

No disliker lol

[@samuelford]

There should be no 'why' with dogs. People should just bring them.

[@luisfigueroa2011]

Why is my rhodesian ridgeless?

[@fsh8026]

I think it absurd not to take the own dog on vacation.
