He's so cute!!! Can't wait to see pics of your new girl also!HERE IS star!!
Please send one to my house. I would gladly accept a male or female.
They are so cute.
No, it doesn't. And it looks like she comes from a line of champions by the looks of her dogster page. Maybe they're retiring her from the show circuit. But why get rid of her just because she can't show? I've heard of people doing that, but I could never. I've always loved this breed. Maybe someday.Â
it might be a come on,,,,, to sell puppies, ive seen that before too dog 4 adoption, but was adopted, but we do have pup for sale!
it looks like a winning liver nose, who knows how old she is, or, even if she is still alive. we keep our ridgebacks untill they pass on, show or not breedable any more.
it's a sad world out there.
i know we take our dogs back, if they cannot keep tham any more and re home them. we have many friends in the RR world, that have contacts for unwanted ridgebacks, always a home for one of ours, somewhere!!
I didn't even think of the puppy aspect. I just saw up for adoption and was sad that she is obviously from a good line and is absolutely adorable.Â
I've seen your name in quite a few places outside of BPO for RR breeders. And the fact that you care what happens to your dogs from birth on shows me how much you care about your dogs. Someday when my husband gets out of the military and we buy a house finally, (only 8 more years hopefully) then I might have to look you up. I hope you'll still either be breeding or still have those contacts for rehoming, because I'm really interested in this breed. Can you tell me more about them. Stuff that's not listed in the akc breed summary. Thanks
I may be prejudiced but I think my Desia is the most beautiful, sweetest and largest female Ridgeback there is...http://www.kweisskopf.com/Albums/DesiaPage8.html.
She has her own web site and she tops out at 120 lbs.
I talked this over with my vet and they okayed it. I am NOT a vet, just passing along info for you to check out yourselves and perhaps save a LOT of money!  Â
We've lived on 2 different farms the past 8yrs, so we do preventative worming. Dogs like to eat lots of droppings, mice, moles or whatever they might catch. I was estatic when I found out about this! LOLÂ

Make sure to read the entire thing and save it. Also, Safeguard just put out a doggie version that costs just about as much as the vets'. Don't fall for it! lol It's still the same thing just a different form of the cattle, horse or goat formulas. Just make sure it says 10% on it.
As a side note, the site mentions ivermectin for heartworm prevention. Please, please, please if you use this remember it can be DEADLY to collies, shelties, aussies and other collie type breeds!!!!! A high majority of them have a mutation at the MDR1 gene that allows certain medications to pass through the protective membrane of the brain. Some other meds that can effect them are immodium, digoxin, ondansetron, many chemotherapeut ic drugs including vincristine, vinblastine, and doxorubicin. Go here for a better article and means of ordering a test to find out if your collie breed is at risk:
