Nailah is a handsome dog, 75 pounds, muscular, reddish brown with white at the front of the neck and on her feet.
She's sleek as a greyhound--short-haired.
But what is she?
Our next-door neighbors suggested Rhodesian ridgeback as soon as she arrived.
I'd never heard of ridgebacks, but sure enough, she looks like photos of them online.

In Arizona she was in the company of another reddish dog, slightly smaller, with more of a squarish face like a boxer.

Dr. Eric Stumpp guesses she's a mix including Rhodesian. Dr. Kenneth Jones cautions that a dog's looks often don't match the actual breeds in its genetic tree.
In Los Angeles, pit bull is often part of the mix, but she came from Arizona.
I think I'll go with Rhodesian ridgeback. It fits her dignity and the description of her personality.
A fine hunter, the Rhodesian Ridgeback is ferocious in the hunt, but in the home it is a calm, gentle, obedient, good dog.

Besides, who would waste money on a pit bull? I need her to be high-class to justify all our expendidtures.
