Semper Fidelis Rhodesian Ridgebacks

Birthday: April 23, 2012 

Ember was bred by Deborah and Thomas Adams of Orangewood Rhodesian Ridgebacks in Valley Center, California.

Ember is red wheaten with a black nose and mask. She is 77 pounds and is 26 inches at the shoulder. She is a standard sized Ridgeback that has a feminine Build. Ember is very sweet and passed this trait onto her puppies. She has a little bit higher energy than some of my past dogs but did not seem to pass this onto her puppies. Her puppies are sweet and confident.

Even though Ember competes in shows and performance, she is still first and foremost a spoiled companion. she loves her blankets and soft beds. She has FOMO (fear of missing out) so you won't be able to grab your keys and get out the door without her knowing. She loves to ride in the car and loves to go explore new places. She has a decently high prey drive so will chase anything that moves. She loves stuffed toys and will do basically anything for treats.
