I'm Sarah B., the breeder behind Penny's Puppies (Rhodesian Ridgeback) located in Layton, UT. Our dogs are bred for health, beauty, intelligence and athleticism. Ridgebacks need room to run. Land and/or fenced yard ideal.
Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
We did not plan on breeding and were waiting for Penny to finish growing before we spayed her (as recommended by our breeder.) When she turned two we decided to at least think about breeding down the road and keep that option open. After getting the green light from the vet and OFA testing on hips and elbow we went ahead. Penny has been a wonderful dog.
What makes your program special?
We are only doing two breedings max. If we do
second time we will be keeping 1. Haven’t decided yet.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are rd whtn blk nose. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
