I have Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies for sale! See My Profile
We are members of AKC, KUSA and SARRC (pending), and vehement supporters of OFA. Bred TRUE to their South African origins, our female has fantastic EXCALIBUR South African lines and our new male is a direct South African Import with amazing conformation and temperament. We are not part of the show circuit in the US, as we focus on the true South African Ridgeback of South Africa (standards and desired traits are somewhat different). All rhodesians are beautiful, but some are more true to their original breed standard. At Khonvoum Ridgebacks, we breed Rhodesian Ridgeback Lionhounds true to their South African origins, nature, and purpose. This takes tremendous patience to both find the best breeding dogs and time to research the breed, genetics, and stay updated and educated in health and veterinary care issues. We care for our dogs as family members and train them to service dog standards, test our dogs through OFA and NEVER breed when it is either unethical or unsound, mindfully placing each puppy into the "right" home for that puppy. Some Rhodesians are active outdoor dogs, others are sensitive lap dogs, while others are hunters with a high prey drive, with varying degrees of combinations and ranges therein. To place any of these dogs into a home that is not wanting a dog of its natural drive and temperament is a recipe for disaster for both the new owner and the puppy. We go above and beyond to describe the positives and negatives of each puppy thoroughly on our website http://www.khonvoumridgebacks.com, providing copious amounts of photos, videos, and a Vohgard's Temperament Test to each puppy at 7 weeks of age, so that the buyer has the BEST, REAL description and expectations of each puppy. We are here for the lifespan of the dog; for past, current, and interested owners, as well as anyone who may want to know more about the breed with no intention to buy. We are not in the Business of Selling Puppies; We are in the Business of Improving and maintaining the TRUE SOUTH AFRICAN RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK.
