Masai's Pride Rhodesian Ridgbacks

Crystal B.

Breeder of Rhodesian Ridgebacks

Meet the breeder

I'm Crystal B., the breeder behind Masai's Pride Rhodesian Ridgbacks located in Greenville, OH. 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.

Q. & A. with Crystal

  • Why did you start breeding?

    In 2000 I decided to begin breeding Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I had had them for 21 years at that point and I was highly dissatisfied with the quality of RR I was seeing in the US. To me, they began looking like greyhounds and I had always known RR to have a muscular build with a boxy head.
  • What makes your program special?

    Due to my dissatisfaction with the RR I was finding available I began to look overseas. That is where I found what I’ve always known to be a true ridgeback. I have imported RR from various countries since 2000 and I’m ecstatic regarding the look, temperament and health of my RR.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include wheaten blk nose and rd whtn blk nose. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
