Meet the breeder

I'm Beth B., the breeder behind BB Rhodesians - Crestridge Rhodesians located in Altoona, FL. My dogs are first and foremost my companions and family members! They live in my home and not in a kennel. The health and welfare of my dogs and puppies comes first! They are of superior quality with excellent pedigree and temperaments. I prefer them on the large side with good bone and substance with big blocky heads. Stressing sound and stable temperament, I will not breed a hyper or shy Ridgeback. I am here for you for the life of your dog and my contract requires you to return your dog back to me if for some reason you need to surrender.

Q. & A. with Beth

  • Why did you start breeding?

    About 15 years ago I was given the amazing opportunity to co-breed with Mimi Pearl. Mimi founded Crestridge Rhodesians over 25 years ago, has had a successful show career and has many happy families with beautiful Crestridge Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I have very few litters unlike some other breeders who have litter after litter, after litter after litter. I am a boutique breeder and proud of this!

  • What makes your program special?

    Breed only the best to the best to produce physically and mentally stable dogs. I focus on producing loving, healthy, happy, confident, athletic dogs for the home that has the time, space and means to give the dog the life it deserves. I will not sell a dog to anyone that lives in an apartment or condo. You must have the space to let the dog have free range movement!

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
