Aziza Ridgebacks
Meet the breeder
I'm Aura Lee S., the breeder behind Aziza Ridgebacks located in Phoenix, AZ. My dogs are bred with health and temperament as the priority. I research past generations of any dog that is added to my program to ensure they're producing quality pups who live a long life. I'm heavily involved in the show ring and make sure my dogs adhere to breed standards and conformation.
Q. & A. with Aura Lee
Why did you start breeding?
Aziza Ridgebacks is more than just a breeding program. My family and I love raising puppies, exploring the world with them, and connecting them to their forever families. It is an honor to be involved in bettering the breed and continuing to produce happy, healthy puppies for generations to come. I am passionate about this breed and do all that I can for them, my puppies, and my buyers.What makes your program special?
I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my pups. I love what I do and truly want nothing more than to see each and every one of my puppies shine! My puppies are born and raised in our home and are surrounded by the every day sounds that a house brings. I use Puppy Culture protocols to give each puppy the best start possible.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
