Pups ready to go home now

Hi, I'm Meg G.

I have been passionate about Rhodesian Ridgebacks for over 30 years. While I have only bred a few litters, my focus has always been on quality over quantity. My last litter was 10 years ago, and I’m excited to introduce this special new generation—featuring all-new bloodlines with outstanding results.

Home environment

I am a very hands-on breeder, thus all pups including this litter have been born in our home and raised with family friends and the extended pack around them. My current pack consists of Miss Piper, Miss Ruby, Charlie Brown (dad), Jade (mum), and baby brother Denbe. We also use Puppy culture protocols as our pups grow.
