Meet the breeder
I'm Dawn G., the breeder behind Celtic Lore Ridgebacks located in Alabama. We are experienced breeders, and we take our role seriously. We keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, pedigree, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents. We breed to both help ensure the future of the Rhodesian Ridgeback and to improve upon our dogs' fantastic traits with each generation.
