I'm Charlene C., the breeder behind Ndoro Rhodesian Ridgebacks located in Las Cruces, NM. I produce pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. My goal is to produce a great representation of the Rhodesian Ridgeback and to continue improving the line with each generation. My passion for this breed is poured into every aspect of my breeding program. I truly love my dogs and what I do.
Q. & A. with Charlene
Why did you start breeding?
It is my passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the Rhodesian Ridgebacks. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
What makes your program special?
I am a professional handler of Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I am very conscious about who I rehome my puppies to and always ensure that each one goes to the best home possible complementary to its personality and ability. In my breeding program, good health and temperament are essential, and cuteness and love are guaranteed.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
