Mines a shephard mix with either pit or rideback......

If it doesn't have a ridge (what I think you were going for) it's likely not a ridgeback mix as that is such a dominant feature. We had a lab ridgeback mix when I was a kid... pure white, all lab, but had the ridge. It worked though as we didn't have any lions in the neighborhood.

Her ridge is not there when not on alert but if she gets real agitated or on defense it stands up strong. She is very much a Shephard in most ways but her fur and some markings are very pit or ridge like.

My dog was named Simba (long before Lion King popularity) and her ridge was very pronounced at all times. Every time we'd take her out people would wonder what kind of surgery she'd had as it looked like a scar.

Smiling dogs are the best. Both of mine smile, unless they don't like you. My queensland died after 17 years, so I rescued a couple of Catahoula Leopard dogs... haven't seen any leopards in the neighborhood lately come to think of it.
