    Our experience with Maura was excellent. Her communication was very prompt with quick turnaround. She was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and made it easy for us to pick up the puppy. Her home is where the puppies are and it was very clean but what we loved the most was that the whole Ridgeback gang was there to greet us! We have enjoyed our first few weeks with Wrigley and have received lots of compliments on how beautiful he is. He is adjusting well to his new home, and we look forward to many years with him and the rest of our family dogs. Thank you so much Maura!

    Stoneridge Ridgeback was great to work with from start to finish! We are so happy with our new pup, Brixton. He is full of energy and has a great temperament. Maura has been available since pickup to answer any questions we have had and to give advice. Definitely recommend getting your Ridgeback from Stoneridge!
