Sítio da Serra
Rhodesian Ridgeback

Thor (Balto do Sítio da Serra) is a sweet dog, very sociable with both people and other dogs.

He loves neighborhood walks and seems to have an internal clock that calls for us right at his usual walk time.

An excellent watchdog—he always barks whenever something out of the ordinary happens.

He is always looking for company, choosing to sit wherever people are nearby.

If we hug in front of him, he jumps up on his hind legs as if he wants to be hugged too.

He has a beautiful coat color in a dark wheaten tone that earns compliments wherever he goes.
