We are a small family kennel located in East Texas. We have been breeding Rhodesian Ridgebacks for over 11 years now and have made many new friends along the way. We are striving to produce healthy, dignified, intelligent, good temperament family companions.
Buying a dog unseen from a stranger on the internet is a very uncertain and risky business. I have experienced that feeling myself. I have imported several dogs from South Africa, as well as many places here in the states. I have always dealt with somebody that is forthcoming with all the negative points of every dog as well. So, I will be as honest and straight forward as possible to make your experience as stress free as possible.
Rhodesian Ridgeback breeding is a labor of love for the breeds. I get my satisfaction from the fact that that the new owner of the dog enjoys his/her dog and the dog is as good or better than expected. I can only allocate the right dog to the right owner if I know their preferences.
As with any breed of dog most breeders are aware of genetically transferable diseases like hip dysplasia and many other possible genetic diseases. These are indeed very difficult diseases to cope with and not one breeder in the world can as yet claim that they breed dogs which are genetically free of all these diseases. We still work hard to get genetically pure from these diseases. We do not breed with dogs with visible genetic defects.
Some scientists say that 50% of the dog development depends on the owners care. Nutrition, environment and exercise (balance) of the puppy are very important for the development of the hips. Therefore, a Rhodesian Ridgeback owner cannot blame the breeder of the dog, if things go wrong and the owner did not look after the puppy properly. We try to breed the best Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I encourage anyone who can, to visit Pawpatch kennel and see our dogs. All our dogs are AKC registered.
When looking for the perfect Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy you want to first consider their temperament. Finding the right puppy can sometimes be very difficult and I know how that feels. Take the time to let me answer any questions you may have and let me help you to make this as easy as possible. So what do you look for in a breeder and how do you know you found the right one for you.....you just know! You know the minute you talk with them, just as I know the minute I have found the perfect family for my puppy! ****Making New Friends...One Puppy at a Time*** **Call or email me and see why we are different***
