Yes, all breeds of dog can naturally bark. Rhodesian and Thai Ridgebacks are no exception. In some countries where it is still legal, dogs can be ''debarked'' where the vocal cords are removed in an attempt to render the dog mute - this is the only way a Ridgeback would not be able to bark. Breeds that do not bark (out of choice) are the Basenji, for example, which is known for ''yodelling'' rather than barking.
