Ritchie Family Puppies
Meet the breeder
I'm Benjamin R., the breeder behind Ritchie Family Puppies located in Gilbert, AZ. We do our best to socialize and acclimate each litter so we’re able to offer all-around healthy and well-mannered puppies! We are a small enough program that we are able to thoroughly focus on each individual dog and puppy and their needs. We take pride in the time and dedication we give to every litter.
Q. & A. with Benjamin
Why did you start breeding?
What started as a way for my children to earn money for college and learn responsibility has become one of the most rewarding family experiences. My children love the puppies but more importantly experience total love from them. They love to sit with them and have the puppies play all over them and be covered by puppies-one of the greatest experiences you could have!What makes your program special?
We are a family program-working and loving together enjoying the wonders of new life and puppy love. Our puppies are cared for and feel loved every day of their lives by so many family and friends. The puppies are so well socialized and used to human interaction. We watch movies, have discussions, and play holding puppies non stop-so wonderful!
