Q. & A. with Ann
Why did you start breeding?
I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; today’s breeders are the guardians of the future Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I am devoted to ensuring there are happy and healthy dogs for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed.
What makes your program special?
My love for Rhodesian Ridgebacks is reflected in the personal touch I put into making sure the addition of your new puppy is a truly joyful experience. Each puppy is bred, raised, and loved indoors in my caring home. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for each and every one of my dogs!
