I'm Lisa W., the breeder behind Keefer Ridge Rhodesian Ridgebacks located in Chico, CA. We offer top-quality Rhodesian Ridgebacks puppies from our loving home to yours! We breed for health, conformation, & temperament. Because we want each placement to be lifelong and each pup to thrive in their new home, we try to find the perfect match for our puppies and buyers. It is our goal to find loving homes for our puppies and provide families and individuals with the Rhodesian of their dreams.
Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
Each of my dogs has brought so much happiness to me throughout their lives. I want to do my part to produce wonderful, healthy dogs that can bring other people joy as well, and to provide each of my puppies with loving homes where they can live happy lives.
What makes your program special?
Because my program is small, I am able to give each dog and puppy all of the attention and care that they need to develop and thrive. My dogs are my family, and I give that same love to each puppy as I prepare them to join their forever homes.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
