We have no puppy availability. We are not planning another litter at this time. Please contact us if you would like to be on our waiting list or for a breeder referral.
The waiting list is often quite far in advance of the litter being born since we are concerned about matching puppies to their future families. Litters are planned and qualified, waiting homes are had well in advance. If you are interested in a puppy, contact us sooner rather than later as we have a waiting list already established.
If you are interested in meeting us and our dogs, just ask! If you know you are interested in a Ridgeback but not at this time, please contact us to be put on our waiting list for our next planned litter.
Since we only have a litter about every two years or so, there is always a list of people who are willing to wait for a healthy well-bred puppy. We require a visit to our house before the puppies are born if at all possible. This enables the potential Owner to meet the Breeder and the Mother to Be and then decide if a Ridgeback is REALLY what you want. It also helps to cement a 10-12 year relationship between us and you. A Ridgeback will be your best friend and family pet with the right positive training and trust in you.

What goes into our breedings?
We thoroughly test our Ridgebacks before being bred to help eliminate the inheritance of genetic diseases. We require that any dog who is considered for breeding [after completing their AKC Championship] have their OFA’s done: Hips, Elbows, Thyroid and the CERF [test for eyes], and Shoulders, Cardiac and Patellas may also be screened. Any dog rated less than Good/Normal is excluded from the Breeding program in efforts to have the best chance at producing healthy, sound puppies. We are additionally testing each of our dogs for Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) and carefully making breeding decisions based on DM status.
If you are interested in one of our puppies and are committed to a quality puppy, please Contact Us and either copy and paste the puppy questionnaire below into an e-mail or attach the questionnaire in an e-mail and send it back to us. This is the first step in the application process as a potential Ridgeback owner.
