Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
This amazing journey began four years ago when Cierra, our foundation female, entered our home and hearts. We look forward to many years of fun and excitement with our pack, and many heartwarming memories to last a lifetime. Our girls are loved more than you can imagine. In our Cobriza household, there are many nights where our king size bed is not big enough for all!What makes your program special?
I truly love the Rhodesian Ridgeback breed and am dedicated to looking out for the breed as a whole. We are a selective program that focuses on temperament and conformation. We are breeding to produce happy and healthy puppies that can continue to excel in their new homes.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
