The Rhodesian Ridgeback is shown in the Hound Group (Group 2). Since this recognition of the Rhodesian Ridgeback by the American Kennel Club, intense and greater interest has developed in the breed in this country. The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a native of South Africa. The breed's long history dates back to early in the 16th century when the first European men explored the interior on the Cape of Good Hope and found with the Hottentot tribes a domesticated dog with the hair on his spine being turned forward. This is the condition which we now refer to as the "ridge." The only other known dog which has the peculiarity of such a ridge is found on the island of Phu Quoc in the Gulf of Siam. It has never been definitely determined whether the peculiarity of this ridge originated in South Africa or on the island of Phu Quoc, but the evidence available seems to indicate that it originated in South Africa and that specimens of dogs with ridges were transported from South Africa to the island of Phu Quoc. It is not known where the Hottentots first obtained these dogs. It is common knowledge that the Hottentot had pronounced Asiatic features and that his ancestors probably hailed from the East. If this is so, it may be assumed that the ridged dog accompanied him on his peregrination until he finally reached Africa.

     Extractions: HOME The Breed History "The Dog For All Reasons" The Rhodesian Ridgeback, formerly called the African Lion Hound, is a native of South Africa bred by the Boer farmers to fill their specific need for a serviceable hunting dog in the wilds. The Dutch, Germans and Huguenots who emigrated to South Africa in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries brought with them Danes, Mastiffs, Greyhounds, Bloodhounds, Terriers and other breeds. for one hundred years from 1707, European immigration was closed and the native dogs played an important part in the development and ultimate character of the Ridgeback. The Hottentots, a native race living within range of these early settlers, had a hunting dog that was half wild with a ridge on his back formed by the hair growing forward. There was interbreeding between these dogs and those of the settlers. This crossbreeding, in due course, established the foundation stock of our present-day Ridgeback. Good hunting dogs were hard to come by in those days and their value was high. The Boer settler needed a dog that could flush a partridge, pull down a wounded buck, guard the farm from marauding animals and prowlers at night. He also needed a dog that could withstand the rigors of the African Bush, hold up under the drastic changes in temperature from the heat of the day to nights below freezing, and go twenty-four hours or more without water. He required a short haired dog that would not be eaten by ticks. In addition, he needed a companion that would stay by him while he slept in the Bush and that would be devoted to his wife and children. These were the qualities that the early settlers needed in a dog. Out of necessity, the Boer farmer developed, by selective breeding, a distinct breed of the African VeldtThe Ridgeback. In 1877, the Reverend

     Extractions: Csqn Rhodesian SAS MALAYSIA 1951-1955 During the Malayan campaign, a group of men from Southern Rhodesia volunteered to go to Malaya and were initially known as "The Far East Volunteer Group" later to become the Malayan Scouts. While in Malaya, they became "C" Squadron (Malayan Scouts) of the already formed "A", "B" Squadrons of the British SAS. Later on, "D" Squadron were formed and a HQ to complete that regiment. When "C" Squadron concluded their tour of duty they came back to Southern Rhodesia and the unit was disbanded. RHODESIA 1961-1980 The formation of the SAS goes back to November 1959 when it was decided in the Federal Assembly to form a Parachute Evaluation Detachment to examine the practicalities of military parachuting and parachute training in the Federation of the Rhodesias and Nyasaland, with a view to the possible formation of an airborne unit. This was announced by the then Federal Minister of Defence, Mr Caldicott - but it was always thought by us junior soldiers, or should I say, we were led to believe, that Sir Roy Welensky was behind the reforming of what was to become the SAS. In 1960 a detachment of RAF arrived under Squadron Leader E. Minter to conduct the training of the parachute Evaluation Detachment (PED). By March 1960, the PED was complete and those on the course were presented their wings by the said Minister of Defence. The "experiment" was a complete success and in July decided to form a regular European Special Air Services Squadron. In late 1960, No 1 Training Unit was formed, and once assembled and trained they would form the nucleus of what was to become : 1 RLI, "C" Squadron SAS and the Selous Scouts (Armoured Car Regiment).
