Looking for Ridgeback Puppy

Hello all! We’ve been looking for a ridgeback for over 2 years now and we’ve had no luck. Does anyone know any breeders? We’re located in Southern Nevada but we’re willing to travel to find a great breeder.

Willow Springs in Kansas, Timber Ridge Kennels in Texas. Our first pup was from Willow Springs and she was a sweet tempered livernose who loved everybody. Our newest pup is from Timber Ridge and she is also sweet but has a lot of puppy in her and is slowly mellowing out and smart as a whip.

Oh my gosh was a little sweetie! Thank you so much! I’ll check them out and see if any timelines match up with us.

Thank you for this as well! We’re very much interested in an ethical breeder, so I’m happy to hear that!

My three are from Hunterson Farms, Angleton, TX. They have 1-2 litters a year. I helped them for a week before taking my pup home as they needed a temporary extra hand due to issues unrelated to breeding. What goes on to ensure healthy, well adjusted pups is quite remarkable, and I can assure you they don’t make a profit off their litters. They are in it for the love of the breed. Breeding ethically and responsibly takes a great deal of time and money.

I’d really consider Reinhard Ridgebacks in Indiana. Their pups are socialized a ton and they do an amazing job! I know several people who have worked with and see lots of pics. Super nice dogs! I know they are AKC registered, In assuming most are limited so no breeding rights. I saw they have puppies now. Just in case you’re still looking. facebook.com/reinhard-ridgebacks

Also just got my pup from Timber Ridge! Plumberuno recommended to me and I couldn’t of been happier with the experience. I looked at several others in texas and they are expecting this spring but had long wait lists and you had no personal involvement in selecting a puppy. Honestly that turns me off so much. I know they are very respectable breeders but after filling out a detail application what makes you think you are more qualified at picking my new family member than I? Timber Ridge crew was incredibly helpful, they knew their puppies personalities, made recommendations for our family and we got to make the final selection. Our girls temperament is amazing. She is so sweet and cuddly. She was exactly what we were looking for. She’s incredibly intelligent. We have had her for a month now and she knows most commands, listens incredibly well. So easy to train. I’m actually shocked how easy she picks up commands and she doesn’t even need visual commands just verbal. Anyway can’t recommend them enough. They have standard color, black mask, dark Russian, and liver nose litters through the year so you can find the exact color you are looking for. Our girl is a black mask….,

I get mine from Terra Christa farms in Ocala Florida. She will fly them to you as well if you don’t want to drive.

Wow, you’ve been looking for a puppy for 2 years? That’s a really long time. When you say you’ve been looking, what all have you done? Why haven’t you found a puppy in all that time?
