The Thai Ridgeback experience
You know you're a Thai Ridgeback owner when...
●The ridge check, running your hand along that distinctive strip of hair growing in the opposite direction and feeling unreasonably proud that your dog has this ancient, rare feature that most people have never even heard of.
●That cat-like cleanliness. Your Thai Ridgeback grooms themselves, avoids puddles like a diva, and somehow always looks like they just stepped out of a photo shoot. The least 'doggy' dog you've ever owned.
●The vertical leap. No fence height feels safe when your TRD casually clears four feet from a standing position like gravity is a suggestion they've chosen to decline.
●Watching someone at the dog park try to pet your dog without permission and getting the 'stone statue' treatment, complete stillness, zero tail movement, eyes that say 'you have not been approved.
●The sun worship. Finding your Thai Ridgeback in the single patch of sunlight in your entire house, stretched out like a bronze sculpture, radiating contentment and warmth.
