| Overview: | Phu Quoc Ridgebacks are agile type of dog and they have fantastic coordination from a very young age. This breed loves to play and be challenged – Phu Quoc Ridgebacks can run faster than just about any other type of dog and when they’re off the leash, and at full speed, some owners find they hop gracefully like a deer. There is also a natural tendency towards swimming (perhaps as a result of its island heritage) and the Phu Quoc Ridgeback has webbed feet that make it very efficient in the water. Phu Quoc Ridgebacks are extremely intelligent dogs and quickly pick-up training instruction. Phu Quoc Ridgebacks are extremely affectionate and loyal to its owners and small children. |
