Olde Ridge Kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Ann K., the breeder behind Olde Ridge Kennels located in Dover, DE. I am a small hobby program. I breed occasionally. I enjoy showing in AKC breed competitions and occasionally do obedience and hunt tests. Our dogs are bred to conform to the AKC breed standard. I breed them to be healthy family members with great temperaments.
Q. & A. with Ann
Why did you start breeding?
I love animals and wanted a way to become more involved. It was a natural progression. It started first with an AKC show dog, dog shows, a second AKC show dog, an excellent mentor, to breeding my first litter.What makes your program special?
My puppy buyers become extended family. I am available to them through the life of their pet.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Excellent level
Olde Ridge Kennels reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Vizslas.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
