Q. & A. with Wendi

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After much searching, we were given the chance to acquire a show quality girl from WindyCity's Ridgebacks. This lovely girl, Madam Poppy Pomfrey, did not disappoint. With the calm dignity to be a first-rate couch potato, her team player desire to please, athletic ability, and beautiful conformation, she quickly earned her AKC Championship, rally, and lure coursing titles.
  • What makes your program special?

    In addition to showing/competing for conformation and performance, we select for TEMPERAMENT--"Show dogs you can live with", and only when we feel we can offer something for the betterment of the breed. This is only our second litter. As responsible breeders, we are guardians for the future Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Our goal is to breed quality puppies and preserve the line of these incredible companions.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
