We are a small hobby breeder located at the base of the Superstition Mountains in AZ. We absolutely love our Ridgebacks and have dedicated a lot of time and energy ensuring that we remain as closely tied to the original South African bloodlines as possible. Our studs, Ruger and Remington, come from champion bloodlines and the girls' bloodlines include direct imports from South Africa that boast championships from the original bloodlines there. All dogs are AKC registered, DNA tested and have excellent/good/normal OFA's, if older than 2 years old.
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are a loyal breed with an interesting history. Known as the African Lion Hound, Ridgies have made it into American homes as loving, loyal and fiercely protective of their people. These gentle giants rarely bark and love children.
HISTORY
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are the only breed indigenous to South Africa. They were introduced to protect the African farmer, when European dogs were bred with dogs kept by the Khoikhoi tribes-people. They were quickly used as hunting dogs, after it was recognized that they could keep lions at bay.
The Ridge
The Ridgeback is the only breed that sports a strip of fur growing in the opposite direction then the rest of it's fur, creating the famous "ridge" along it's spine. Although this unique feature gives the breed it's name, some purebreds are born without the ridge or "ridgeless".
