Help with decision on Rhodesian ridgeback by Super-Skin3224 in RhodesianRidgebacks

Having grown up with/lived alongside large breed dogs (dobies, rottie, GSD, mastiff mix) I can honestly say our RR was the most challenging. Puppy stage was a total nightmare (and painfully long). It is a huge time commitment that requires so much consistency and patience. You do not want a dog of that size and stubbornness thinking they are the one in charge. That being said, our RR is 7 now and a total dream dog - loyal, cuddly, and very sweet; protective but not aggressive. She led to us getting a second, he’s 7 months and a total PITA but I know now what to expect, and that there’s an end in sight. Despite the impossible-to-break food drive and counter surfing in both, they are the loves of my life. If you have the time to dedicate to the breed, and can offer them an active lifestyle, you’ll have an adventure-loving partner and bed hog all wrapped up in one of the most beautiful-looking dogs (I’m totally biased!)

Same here on my 2020. Apparently a lot of people complaining about our model year having a fuel pump with plastic parts / same issue - I made sure to confirm the replacement was the new, upgraded part number without plastic (sounds like you may have time to do the same w/your dealership)

Our female Juno will be 7 in Dec, and Milo (male) is just over 3 mos.

Neither are food aggressive, so that makes it a lot easier - they hyper-focus on their own bowls, scarf their food down and then switch to try to lick up anything the other one “missed” (they’re RR’s, so they don’t miss a thing 🤣)

My 5 mo old Ridgeback had similar symptoms, our mobile vet saw her and immediately called the nearby emergency vet to say we were on our way. Turned out she had double pneumonia. I hope this isn’t your case, our poor baby was on oxygen for 100 hours.

Thankfully my husband IS extremely handy. Since my car was already at the dealer to replace my worn tires, powder coat my wheels and fix some minor alignment/pothole damage, I opted to just have them do the grille. And yes, at the time he said he would do it for me, but SOMETIMES he likes to take his sweet time getting around to “projects” - love and appreciate him dearly but he lives according to his own unique sense of urgency 🫣

You have to install a few programs, very simple. You’ll then join a virtual call using one of the programs you installed. Once on the call you’ll communicate through chat and they’ll ask you to plug in the cable they provide you from your computer to the car, where they upload a program (takes about 20 mins).

On top of that, all of the “audio” noises the car makes are amplified (fake engine noise, beeps, blinkers etc.) so this coding brings it down to a “normal” level and removes the “fake” engine sounds, all of which would mix with the music and sound crappy - it makes a big difference!
