Q. & A. with Diana
Why did you start breeding?
I bought my first ridgeback in 1999 for our daughter who was undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia and desperately needed a constant source of unconditional love. I decided to breed to add valuable genes to the breed, with the result of puppies who are an asset to future Ridgeback generations, true representatives of the breed standards and the absolute ultimate family companion.What makes your program special?
We have a lifetime commitment to the health, proper nutrition, exercise, and well-being of every Ridgeback. We are dedicated to responsible and caring breeding practices. If for any reason you are unable to care for or keep your Rhodesian Ridgeback at any point in their lives, we require that you contact us. We will take them back, re-train, re-home, keep them safe, healthy, happy, and loved.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are rd whtn blk nose. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
