Want a Rhodesian ridgeback puppy?
Getting a dog or puppy on impulse or fashion is rarely a good idea.
Remember that dogs, like cars, were designed for a particular function.
When the various breeds were originally developed, there was a greater emphasis on the ability to do a job,
such as herding, guarding, hunting, drafting, etc., than appearance.

SHOW OR PET QUALITY PUPPY?
Based on our experience we rate our puppies as either show or pet quality.
SHOW quality puppy
Posses features such as soundness of construction, balance, the ridge what conforms to the breed standard.
Dog has no obvious faults and is promising for dogshows and breeding.
Still, we cannot guarantee is this puppy will have amazing show results.
Even if you buy a promising puppy for attending dog shows, development, wrong diet, traumas, bad socialization which may result with wrong temper can change promising puppy into not promising.
So remember that we are giving you a raw diamond, and you have to continue to grind it into a brilliant.
The purpose of dog shows is to obtain independent judgment from a number of qualified judges that a dog is a good representative of the breed, as measured by the written breed standard.
Such dogs can later be used in breeding, after passing breeding exam, x-ray and got genetically tested on hereditary diseases.
PET quality puppy
Posses features that would make it difficult in dog shows and cannot go into further breeding.
These "showring" faults do not affect puppy's ability to function or to have happy normal life as a pet.
Faults of this sort are usually cosmetic rather than functional and do not effect the health of the dog.
Faults: Kinked tail, excessive white markings, ridge faults (too short, less or more than 2 crowns, too big offset, ridgeless), imperfect bite (overbite or underbite), black hair, Dermoid Sinus, Cryptorchism etc....
Even with these faults, you will have a beautiful and healthy specimen of our beautiful breed, and only experts could recognize these faults.
BLACK NOSE & LIVERNOSE PUPPIES
Livernoses are unique difference to the more common black-nose Ridgeback, and have a light-brown nose.
Liver-nose gene is recessive, both parents must carry it, even though they may be black-nose themselves.
If both parents are liver-nose, all offspring will be liver-nosed (double recessive).
Liver-nose Ridgebacks are within the breed specification/standard but tend to have these physical variations from black-nose:
Liver nose (instead of a black nose)
“Clear” muzzle (brown) (instead of blackened muzzle)
Amber eyes (instead of dark eyes)
Tan toenails (instead of black)
Their temperament is usually a little more friendly and trusting, compared to black-nose dogs.
Livernoses are still pretty rare and people may identify the dog as a Hungarian Vizsla....until they see the ridge:) Nowdays they are pretty popular at the dogshows and in breeding.
