The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a strong, muscular and lively dog, with symmetrical shapes, resistant and fast. The head is a good length. The skull is flat, rather wide between the ears, without wrinkling when the dog is at rest. The muzzle is long, deep, robust, the stop is quite marked. The eyes are round, shiny, of a color to match the dress. The ears are set high enough, medium in size and attached to the head. The limbs are strong, of good bones, plump. The tail is carried slightly raised upwards, but never curled.
