Meet our new little guy
Koa Lynch
Koa, means warrior in Hawaiian, and Chris has been wanting a big dog of his own ever since we arrived in Hawaii. However, with a pretty small back yard and my constant nagging, we agreed to get a small dog (Oakley Lynch Est. Aug. 2, 2010) in Hawaii and get his dog in Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. We didn't even have boots on the ground in a new temporary home state when Chris found a breeder for Rhodesian Ridgeback's.
We tossed around the idea of getting a Doberman or a Rotti, but they are banned from Post and most people won't rent to you if you have a dog like that (Can you say breed discrimination?). As much as I would have loved a Golden, they just have way to much hair for me and my allergies and we couldn't agree on what color Lab (I wanted chocolate, he wanted black) we wanted so a Rhodesian it became!
Originally bred to hunt lions the breed is also known as the African Lion Hound. The Rhodesian Ridgeback's distinguishing feature is the ridge of hair along its
back, running in the opposite direction to the rest of its coat.
We cannot wait to take him home Sept. 4 and introduce him to his big brother, Oakley!
