This breed doesn't need much in terms of grooming. Brushing once a week can help clean out loose hair and keep your Rhodesian Ridgeback's coat shiny and healthy. An occasional bath will do the same. Trimming nails, cleaning ears, and brushing teeth should also be part of every dog's grooming routine, regardless of breed.
