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 stud, Ruger, comes from Champion bloodlines and "the girls'" father is a direct import from South Africa and boasts championships from the original bloodlines in South Africa. All dogs are AKC registered.
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".
We just confirmed Sadie's pregnancy and we are expecting! Pups should be here the end of March and ready to go home the end of May. Sadie's stunning amber eyes and Remi's sweet, docile personality should make for some amazing pups. There is still some room on the deposit list. I am currently taking deposits for this litter. The $250 deposit will hold your place in the picking line. Deposits are non-refundable, but transferable to other litters.
