Ridgebacks are quite large dogs, shes only 7 months so she still has a lot of growing to do! Although they have short hair they are still an average shedder heres a quote about ridgebacks for you
"Ridgebacks are loyal and intelligent. They are, however, aloof to strangers. This is not to be confused with aggression: A Ridgeback of proper temperament will be more inclined to ignore a stranger than to challenge him. This breed requires positive, reward-based training, good socialization and consistency, and is often not the best choice for inexperienced dog owners. Ridgebacks are strong-willed, intelligent, and many seem to have a penchant for mischief, though lovingly. They do not make a good first dog, though the same traits that make them difficult often appeal to the more experienced owners. Although they can withstand wide temperature variations due to their African heritage, they are pack animals and should be with their human families inside. They were traditionally hunters, guardians and companions."
