We’re planning for a mid- to late-2026 litter; additionally, we’re searching for the perfect homes for the following dogs. If you think you may be a good match, then get in touch!
RESCUE PLACEMENT:
Cora is a 3-year-old RR with anxiety issues. She is best suited to a quiet home without other pets and/or dogs. She’s house trained. Contact me for more info.
RETIREMENT PLACEMENT:
Kimber, 7 years old, is a constant ray of sunshine — so cheerful and happy all the time, but reserved and aloof with strangers in true ridgeback fashion. She is submissive in nature, and very nose-driven. But she is best as an only dog or with a male dog companion. She’s used to cats and chickens. She’s a great indoor dog, and she’s house trained, but cannot be trusted when left alone; she’s crate trained, and used to being put up when we leave the home. She enjoys car rides and one-on-one time with her people. Her dad comes directly from a well known line/kennel of South Africa dogs, and her mother’s pedigree is from common American lines, including titled/champion bred dogs. Kimber weighs the true standard 70lbs., and is 26″. Kimber has had the following genetic and/or other health checks:
-OFA cardiac – clear
-OFA patella – clear
-OFA elbow – normal
-OFA hip – good
-OFA thyroid – normal
-Degenerative myelopathy (DM) – not a carrier
-Canine brucellosis, Brucella canis (B. canis) – clear
-D locus: D/D blue, not a carrier
-B locus: B/B liver gene, not a carrier
-Full Dentition Scissor Bite
Guardian homes: This is a very rare placement, but I like to have the option should the right situation arise. This sort of placement will more likely apply to us placing a male because having multiple intact males in our home can cause pack/behavior issues. We retain breeding rights, and that owner agrees to allow us access to that dog for potential future stud use in our program. This arrangement is a win-win situation for the guardian home and our breeding program. Email me to learn more.
Retirement placements: Our dogs are family, but occasionally breeders do need to place an older dog in a retirement home (there’s been no need for this thus far in all our years of breeding). We screen folks on an ongoing basis who are interested in being placed on our adult dog placement list in the event an adult dog in our program needs to be retired outside of our program. Because our dogs are our family, we only screen local applicants and require that the dog comes back to us in the event that the new owner is no longer able to care for the dog.
PRICING: My puppies/dogs are well bred, and therefore not cheap. I do not haggle on prices; I do not compromise my ethics to compete with the economy. Please do not begin the application process if you’re looking for a cheap dog–I do not want to waste your time or mine.
