All domesticated canines come from their wolf ancestors across the globe. The remarkable heritage and genetic backgrounds of our modern day dogs is extraordinary! Tracing Rhodesian Ridgebacks back to their roots helps us to understand the Ridgeback in their entirety and gives the most productive potential for that well trained family guard dog and companion.
AKC Rhodesian Ridgebacks definition is very important for new owners to completely review for both in the quality of dog as well as looking more into what their American Kennel Club privileges are vs. buying an unregistered Ridgeback. It is a great value to know the puppy you are taking home for the next 10+ years is exactly what you are looking for to be apart of your family.
Colorado Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue is another resource that I feel should be available to anyone in love with this breed not to send any of these puppies there but rather to consider looking into fostering puppies who have found themselves in misfortune or perhaps finding the miracle adoption that doesn't fit the standard of Ridgebacks not being great re-homing candidates. There may just be a dog waiting to join the puppy you purchase to start a life with you also.
Colorado Rhodesian Ridgeback Club presents an opportunity for Ridgeback lovers to get together and find time for their passions to become a community effort. I wanted to not only express my love for the breed by expanding its population in Colorado but also by strengthening its sense of fun in family in togetherness. These puppies may be born in the country but they end up with military families, families who had members in local service all over Colorado, and these good people have the opportunity to gather and share their joy in a way that involved the most spoiled members of our families. Please enjoy exploring this concept.
Below is a link preview to a site with a brief history on the origin of the Rhodesian Ridgeback.
While we Ridgeback lovers enjoy this breed in particular, that doesn't mean that a Ridgeback mix or other rescue is not a valid option for foster or adoption. The Max Fund is a no kill animal shelter in Denver, CO that can always use the help of volunteers as well as welcome loving families to adopt these dogs in need.
