This breed has a distinctive tuft of fur that runs down its spine. It gets its name because the breed standard was drafted in Bulawayo, a city in what modern-day country?

Bulawayo is the second-largest city in Zimbabwe, formerly known as Rhodesia, from where the breed name Rhodesian Ridgeback comes. There are a couple of other breeds that feature a spinal ridge of fur, including the Phu Quoc ridgeback dog and Thai ridgeback.
