US Ridgeback Breeder Recommendations
**Note, although the following breeders are recommended, it is still important that you ask for proof of health testing results. Currently we only support breeding practices that incorporate concern for co-efficiency of inbreeding by not breeding related dogs in the first 10 generations of their pedigree. By closely breeding relatives we have seen an increase of cancers, allergies, and reproductive issues including small litter sizes.
