Stone's Throw Ridgebacks
Meet the breeder
I'm Pauline T., the breeder behind Stone's Throw Ridgebacks located in Manchester, NH. Our mission is to breed high-quality Rhodesian Ridgebacks. We are committed to doing everything we can to ensure we are breeding Rhodesian Ridgebacks that have excellent health, temperament, and conformation. The goal we set and which we believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog.
Q. & A. with Pauline
Why did you start breeding?
I have had the great privilege of learning about breeding Ridgebacks from a veterinarian who bred my first two Ridgebacks. As a result of this experience, I have made it my goal to promote this fantastic breed and especially the line of dogs (whose pedigrees are excellent) that we have.What makes your program special?
The ancestors of our Ridgebacks are some of the best in the history of the breed. We take pride in breeding only the best dogs who have excellent health, temperament, and conformation. They are all CHIC certified as well.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
