Mocca de Chasse Gando, called Eddi, is a red-wheaten temperamental dog . Time and again he is being praised for his remarkable character. Eddi has very friendly character traits, a highlight is his strong desire to cuddle. He knows how to be an integral part of the family and is gentle and loving with children. Eddi enjoys playing with other pets including our cat Oscar.

Eddi is approachable in dealing with fellow dogs, especially bitches he treats like a real gentleman. With other male dogs he is reserved and observant. At home he is a watchdog but shows no aggression. In public he acts calm and confident.

Eddi has very good genes regarding his movement, legs and hips symmetrical in outline, proper disposition of shoulders, perfectly straight forequarters with matching hindquarters. He possesses an elegant and energetic gait. His expressive physique and exquisite strong bones give Eddi a harmonious-looking appearance. His straight back and long perfect ridge is honourably mentioned time and again. He is a very sporty boy. He like it, when we ride bike and he love Coursing!

Our dog Eddi has the typical head of a male dog with ears carried close to head. The ears give him his exceptionally beautiful facial expression which truly makes him unique.

Eddi is an adorable representative of his breed. No matter where we take him, he always attracts positive attention. People turn their heads with a smile on their face and want to pet him. He is a Rhodesian Ridgeback to fall in love with and that is exactly what we did – we love Eddi!

We have also Videos!
