Just a question that popped into my head. I know of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, but I just assumed that it was something the settlers bred with something wild.

Cool, I just checked the wiki. They're a mastiff-bulldog mix. Bred by white settlers in the 1800s to protect the farms. The mastiff part would be territorial and the pitbull would be fierce defense.
