Meet the breeder
I'm Andrew G., the breeder behind Duneland Ridgebacks located in Indiana. We breed first and foremost for temperament in our dogs.

We are breeding to continue our dog's legacy!
Q. & A. with Andrew
Why did you start breeding?
We didn't originally set out to be breeders. We ended up falling in love with a show dog so we showed her through her Grand Championship - We couldn't have asked for a better dog! Her personality and temperament is the reason why we became breeders as we want to continue her legacy.What makes your program special?
We do not breed to just breed puppies and sell. We breed first and foremost for temperament. The Pedigree on our dog and her puppies is truly amazing! The impressive pedigree comes from a long line of champions and is a result of our breeder and mentor, Elizabeth Mask, who was named Rhodesian Ridgeback Breeder of the year in 2016.
