The Thai Ridgeback is a muscular and agile dog breed originating from Thailand, known for its distinctive ridge of hair that grows in the opposite direction of the rest of its fur along its back. These dogs are highly intelligent, fiercely loyal, and protective, making them excellent guard dogs. They are also athletic and enjoy active lifestyles, requiring regular exercise and mental stimulation. Thai Ridgebacks can be independent and may exhibit territorial behavior if not properly socialized, but they form strong bonds with their owners. They are generally healthy with minimal grooming needs, ideal for active families or individuals.
