Hello Brenda!
I
wanted to touch base
with you about Conrad.
We would definitely love
to join the other happy
owners on your website.
He is the most amazing
dog we have ever been
blessed with, and I
couldn't imagine life
without this boy. He is
very well mannered, fun
and loving. Conrad is
literally like our
child! Thanks for the
amazing opportunity to
parent this amazing
addition to our family.
I attached some pictures
for you!

Hi Brenda,
Andy and I bought a
puppy from Virginia's
litter born June 29 this
year. She is doing so
well and is really fun
to have around. We have
had minimal issues with
her and we attribute
that to keeping her very
busy! She comes to the
office with me a few
times a week and
completed a 12 week
puppy course just before
thanksgiving. We start
obedience 1 just after
new years. Attached are
a few pictures. Hope all
is well with you and
your family. Happy
holidays!

Morgan is still very
playful, which I love. I
walk Morgan 4-6 times a
day, she loves it. A
little less when it is
really hot out. She
loves people, when she
sees someone come toward
her she crawls to them.
She must have everyone
she passes pet her. Most
people cannot resist
here cuteness.
Well thank again and I
will send more pictures
in the future. |

Morgan is doing well
everyone loves her. My
two girls are doing well
together. I attached a
few recent pictures.

Hi Brenda,
Just wanted to give you
an update on the puppy!
He is doing great and
has adjusted to his new
life perfect!! The
surprise was perfect and
I have never seen my
husband so happy! Hy
husband and his soldiers
decided to name him Ham,
dont ask me why but he
seems to like it! He is
already very spoiled and
even more now since my
husband has made it
home! He also gets along
great with our other
dog, and the dog across
the street! Everyone
always says how handsome
he is and how they want
him!!I want to thank you
for making this
experience less
stressful and very
pleasent for me! I was
very worried with all of
the scams and you helped
me with this! Thank you
so much and we will keep
you updated on Ham, I
have also attached a
couple of photos! Thank
you so much!!

Brenda,
Niko weighs 33 lbs.

water! Every time I take

the lake behind my
house, haha!! He's a
happy boxer, thank you
soooo much, he has
brought a lot of
happiness into my life!

Hi Brenda,
I just wanted to keep
you up to date on our
precious puppy. Sassy,
who we changed her name
to Nya, is doing great!
She loves playing with
her new sister and
chewing on toys. She is
doing well with potty
training and adjusting
to crate training. It
was tough at first
because she cried a lot
but now she enjoys
laying in her crate on
her comfy sheets. She
loves to be outside and
sunbathe in the Las
Vegas heat! Nya is a
sweet dog; she loves all
people and other dogs.
She is a great addition
to our family. Attached
are some pictures. She
gets bigger with each
day!

He is getting so big and
is such an amazing dog!
We love him very much,
thank you again for
everything and hopefully
you are able to find a
friend for Ford as well.
Call me when you can.

Brenda,
Dozer (short for
Bulldozer) is doing
really well. He is very
healthy and everybody
just loves him!!! He
gets so many
compliments. He is
incredibly lovable. And,
boy, is he smart! He
knew to go potty
outside. I set up his
own little play area
which is gated all
around so I can leave
him with all his
necessities. He has his
water, toys, crate, bed,
and piddle pad. He went
potty on his piddle pad
the very first time I
left him! I put an old
sweatshirt with my scent
in his crate and he goes
in there by choice! I'm
feeding him an organic
brand of food called,
Buffalo Blue. I weaned
him on it and he's doing
just fine with it. I've
taken lots of pictures.
As soon as I get a break
I'll send you some. He's
such a happy little guy.
He's not the least bit
shy and goes up to
everyone. He's
especially friendly with
other dogs. :-) Hope all
is well. I referred you
to someone I met because
this has been a great
experience for me (I
hope that's okay!!!)!
Thanks, again! Hope all
is well!

Hi Brenda and Chris,
You might remember me, I
am Judit, whose wedding
present was one of your
ridgeback puppies. She
was born today a year
ago in Belle’s litter.
My husband and I would
like to say thank you
for being such
responsible breeders and
giving us the
opportunity to have the
ownership of our
precious dog, Kira.
She has changed our
lives, brings us so much
joy and she is an
inseparable member of
the family. She is our
pride and we do
everything to keep her
happy. She is a real joy
to live with as she
responds to household
routines very well. We
take the time to provide
training, intellectual
stimulation, a high
quality life for her.
She is a fun lover, and
has good manners in the
presence of people and
other dogs. We often
arrange play dates for
her as she is
everybody’s friend.
Thank you again for the
great job you did when
she was a puppy.

Hello,
Bo is the most wonderful
dog in the world!
He is almost 6 months
old and he is 55 lbs, a
very big boy. He
is absolutely wonderful
with our son and is so
smart too. He
knows how to sit, stay,
lay down, shake, high
five, and come on call
using only hand signals.
Thank you so much for
him, here are some new
pictures.

Hello,
I see you have my
handsome puppy “Belle’s
Pistol Packing Charmer”
aka Gunnar on your home
page. AWESOME! He was
only five months when
that shot was taken. I
have been trying to
reach you to let you
know how wonderful he is
doing in SAR (search and
rescue). He is a
trailing dog, which
means he can follow the
trail of a distinct
scent. Even
discriminating the scent
on one individual out of
several that take off
walking together then
split the trail. He has
been impressing all
handlers he meets.
Gunnar does not know a
stranger, we were asked
to be in the Meet the
Breed at an AKC show
here in Des Moines, and
he was such a charmer.
Gunnar is almost ten
months now. I would like
to send more pics. He is
my fourth RR and I have
to tell you I have known
many RR’s throughout the
years. He is hands down
the most handsome boy I
have seen. Would you
like more updated pics
of him? I love to brag
about him.
____________________
Here are some more
pictures, isn't he
stunning!
____________________
Gunnar and I were in
Texas for a Man
hunters trailing
seminar. He did
absolutely awesome! I
traveled down with two
other gals from
Wisconsin. He was
taking scent from a zip
lock bag with nothing
more than the subjects
breath or just sticking
their hand into the back
then closing it. Most
trails were at least 1/2
mile long and aged from
one hour to three hours
old.
Thanks,
Cheri Sorensen

Hello Wyricks,
I wanted to give you an
update on Lyric. She has
ajusted well and is an
amazing dog! She has
already doubled in size
and is going to be more
of a pony than a
puppy... sean has made
it safely from
Afghanistan but is not
yet able to leave Fort
Bragg in North Carolina
so last weekend I packed
up the birdie and Lyric
and drove down to visit
him. I think he was more
excited to see Lyric
than me lol! We had a
wonderful weekend and he
adores her although she
is way too big to be a
lap dog, she's yet to
establish this. I just
wanted to let you guys
know she is doing awsome.
She goes everywhere I go
with the exception of
work and has takin a
liking to the car and
the word bye bye. She
hates being left home
alone and she's a
spoiled brat lol! Sean
gets back in two days
and she lights up his
smile so I'm very
excited. I only got a
couple of not so good
photos on our trip to
North Carolina but I
thought I would send
them anyway. Sean is a
professional
photographer so I will
send some good ones of
just her when she is
half grown and a few
when she is full grown
in case you would like
them for your website.
Thanks again,

Hello Brenda,
We just left our
daughter’s home (Tracie
and David Penn) and we
had to send this to
compliment you. We met
their puppy today and he
is a beautiful puppy
with a personality that
shines, a temperament
that shows great
breeding, and you can
see from first
impression he is
intelligent, friendly,
and well adjusted. To
meet a puppy that just
left its familiar
surroundings; was
crated; took an airplane
flight, and took to his
new surroundings as well
as he did; well it
doesn’t happen by
accident, and shows he
was well treated, and is
a confident animal, and
came from a loving
environment. He makes
eye contact, listens,
and was extremely
gentle, playful, and a
pleasure to be around.
My wife and I fell in
love with the breed and
have had Ridgebacks
since 1991. Our children
were raised with these
gentle, obedient,
protective family
members and I was
pleased to see Tracie,
and David lucked out
when purchasing their
first pup. I cannot say
enough about this
puppy's personality, his
confidence,
attentiveness, and from
first impressions their
success in getting a
great dog that will
provide many years of
pleasure owning and
having such a great
companion.
I have attached a
picture of our Jake, who
is the 4th Ridgeback we
have owned. The other 3
(Chance, Sydney, Bullet)
provided us with
12,14,12 years of loyal
friendship,
companionship, and who
only the IRS didn’t
consider them members of
the family.
When you hear so much
about puppy mills, have
reservations about not
seeing the parents
personally, and take
this kind of chance
acquiring a member of
your family; well I
appreciate breeders like
yourself and it shows
that you put your heart
and souls into the
breeding of such fine
dogs, the Ridgeback
breed is something to be
admired, and we take
personally the raising
of these fine animals.
Thank you, we are glad
our children contacted
you, received a great
puppy, and we can assure
you that Bradley will be
well taken care of,
loved, and be a member
of the family.

Brenda,
I wanted to give you
your update on Tobi, now
that he is a little over
a year and a half
old--(wow). You know,
since we first got him,
he has gotten SO many
compliments on how
beautiful he is. He
still is. He has a
wonderful, laid-back
personality, not
high-strung at all, and
he is extremely friendly
and loving. Just like a
Bulldog, he is so
naturally curious and
wants to always see
"what's up", and he's
never met a stranger!!
He definitely still has
a lot of pup in him
though. He for sure does
not just lay around like
a lazy bum-he ALWAYS
wants to play!! But, he
does listen very well.
He now weighs a little
over 55 lbs, so I look
for him to gain maybe
about 5-10 more before
he turns two. He has had
an excellent health
record!
I just want to say thank
you for our beautiful
boy. He has been a
wonderful, fun
companion. I have
recommended you all to
many many people as we
have gotten tons of
compliments on Tobi.
Hope you enjoy many more
successful litters!
Thanks again.

Hello from Wisconsin,
I promised a few
pictures of Cookie and
here are a few.
Actually her name is now
Piper.
Piper has grown a couple
inches already and now
weighs 30 pounds, at 3
months 5 days old. The
dogs are getting along
great now after a few
days of getting
acquainted. Piper and
Sally are becoming
best friends and
Piper is starting to get
brave enough to play
with Lucy (might be the
size difference of the
fact that Lucy plays a
little rough for Piper's
taste).
Training is going well
and there's been a lot
of it, what with
housebreaking,
crate training,
and
leash training.
Piper knows her name and
comes when called or
whistled at. She
understands no (or I
like to use "HEY"). For
a while we were big on
the "no bite" command,
and for the most part
has stopped
nipping/chewing on
people and focuses on
her toys instead. We are
working or sit, stay,
and off (when she tries
jumping up). She knows
"go outside" and "go
potty" and "in the
house", based on
watching/following the
older dogs' example.
Walks around the block
will start once she
heals better while on
the leash. But she
enjoys rides in the
truck to see where we
will visit next.
I'll try sending more
pictures soon,
Matt Pyne, Wisconsin

Hi Brenda,
It was great to hear
from you! I am so glad
that you wanted to know
how Moose was doing! He
is an excellent dog with
a sweet disposition. He
gets along with our
other two bulldogs,
Phaddy and Fiona,
fantastically. We have
found that he is the
most cuddly, loving dog
we have ever had.
Thanks for such an
amazing dog!!!

Just to see my son's
smile after getting his
pup was enough to make
the 13 hour trip all the
way from Pennsylvania to
get "Mack" worthwhile! I
looked for weeks to find
him the perfect pup,
then my son looked for
two more weeks. Three
days before Christmas he
saw your pup and said,
"That's the one! I want
that one!"

Brenda,
My husband held down the
fort at home, taking
care of Bonnie and our 3
cats. The greeting
Bonnie gave me when I
came home was
priceless--she
exploded with love.
She is really a
supremely loveable,
exuberant, happy puppy.
In August, 3 of our
grandsons were here in
California for Bonnie's
first birthday!!! We
made her a party, with
much laughter, many
treats, and new toys.
Our next-door-neighbors
came to the party too.
Bonnie was in
heaven--there is nothing
she likes better than a
houseful of children.
Her favorite new toy is
a huge fuzzy moose that
honks and squeaks both,
and she carries it
around almost all the
time. Looks and sounds
pretty silly, but she
doesn't care.
I'd like to send you a
recent photo of Bonnie,
so if you send me your
physical address I'd be
happy to do so.
Good luck with your new
puppies. I can just
imagine how cute they
are. I wonder if any of
them look like Bonnie.
____________________
Thank
you
so
much
for
sending
us a
photo
of
Bonnie's
mother,
Taz.
I am
looking
forward
to
seeing
the
photo
of
Bonnie's
father
too.
Our
Bonnie
has
a
great
personality,
and
is
very
beautiful.
She's
affectionate,
smart,
loves
children
(we
have
4
grandsons
now--the
newest
is 3
months
old),
is
gentle
with
our
3
cats,
and
is
friendly
with
people,
and
other
dogs.
Twice
a
week
we
take
Bonnie
to a
very
nice
dog
park,
where
she
immediately
made
friends
with
a
whole
gaggle
of large
dogs--Bonnie
is
fearless,
but
not
aggressive. (With
fencing,
the
lovely
park separates
big
and
little
dogs.)
Of
course
she
is
mischievous
too--we
expected
that,
as
she
is
our
second
Boxer.
Many
"interesting"
things
have
turned
up
in
her
"lair,"
a
corner
of
our
big
back
yard,
which
she
has
adopted
as
her
own
private
area.
She
especially
likes
slippers,
and
pantyhose.
And
like
Boxers
do,
she
has
made
up a
bunch
of
games
for
herself--with
her
dog
biscuits,
treats, and
toys.
She
throws
them
up
in
the
air
and
catches
them.
Very
creative.
She
loves
to
play
ball,
and
is
as
good
as a
retriever,
and
she
likes
to
bite
the
water
when
we
hose
the
grass.
Like
a
baby
in a
high
chair
dropping
stuff,
she
nudges
her
ball
under
the
couch,
and
then whimpers
for
me
to
get
it
out--after
I
get
it
out,
she
nudges
it
back
under
the
couch,
and
then whimpers
for me
to
get
it
out
again.
Then
she
wags
what's
left
of
her
tail
and
prances
around.
She
has
a
marvelous
sense
of
humor.
Now
Bonnie
is
going
to
puppy
school.
She's
learned
to
sit,
lie
down,
stay
(sort
of),
watch,
wait,
and
her
teacher
is
teaching
her
not
to
pull
on
the
leash
(which
she
does
not
do
much
anyway).
She
learns
very
fast,
and
when
the
teacher
is
not
looking,
Bonnie
helps
herself
to
the
toys
and
treats
the
teacher
stores
on a
shelf.
We
cannot
help
laughing--even
the
teacher
has
to
laugh.
As
you
can
see,
Bonnie
has
added
a
great
deal
of
fun
and
love
to
our
lives.
Our
daughter
lives
in
Massachusetts
(a
Professor
at
Harvard)
with
her
3
boys,
and
our
son
in
Seattle
(a
Professor
at
U.
of
Washington),
with his
new
baby,
so
it
gets
lonely
around
here.
But
Bonnie
fills much
of
the
gap
for
us.
I
hear
my
husband
speaking
"baby
talk"
to
her
when
he
thinks
I'm
out
of
earshot.
And
I am
crazy
about
her.
Brenda,
I
admire
you
for
being
able
to
do
"home
schooling."
I
don't
think
I
would
have
the
patience.
I am
a
retired
Social
Worker
(worked
mainly
with
Senior
Citizens),
and
my
husband
is a
retired
Mathematician/Physicist/Geneticist,
and
currently
a
working
professional
trombone
player.
Thanks
again
for
the
photos,
and
a
special
thanks
for
Bonnie.
She
is
truly
a
joy.

Fondly,
Lila Lynn Humphrey
P.S. Did I tell you that
Bonnie went to puppy
school in May and June?
She passed everything
very well and received
good
grades. Also, Mike and I
take her to a dog park
about twice a week--she
loves to play with other
dogs and is friendly to
them (even dogs twice
her size), but is
totally fearless and
fun-loving. She's
popular--when we come to
the dog park we hear
people say "Here comes
Bonnie!" She really
livens up the place.

home. We also took him
to the vet and she said
that he looks good! He
is enjoying his new
brother and sister cats.
Floyd, the male kitten
really likes playing
with him, Zoey wants
nothing to do with him!
Alright thank you very
much! Seamus has adapted
well to us and we just
love him. Thank you so
much for everything. I
know I asked you a ton
of questions, but you
but you were always very
kind and answered
everything, no matter
how silly. Thank you
again. I will update you
again to let you know
how Seamus is doing.
Thanks,
Meghan, Brett and Seamus

Brenda,
Just wanted to pop you a
quick note to say thank
you! It was really great
doing business with you
and Captain is making a
really smooth transition
into the family- he's
starting to get the
whole potty thing down,
but of course still
prefers my shoes to any
of the chewy things we
bought for him. I
am attaching a picture
of Captain with the
kids, I'm sure you have
been wondering how he is
doing.
______________________
I wanted to email and
send you a picture of
Captain, he is getting
so big! I think he is
hitting the teen years.
We are now trying to
leash train him so that
we can get him out
walking. He has turned
out to be a GREAT
addition to our family.
I don't know what life
would be like now
without him, though he
is totally spoiled and
sleeps with us every
night.
Well thought I'd just
give you an update!
Thanks again for the
great pup!

Brenda,
Rex is doing great. He
has been absolutely
wonderful!! My
roomie and I took the
dogs
swimming today up at
Lake Barkley and they
loved it. Roxy was a
little timid. Rex has
really helped boost
Roxy's confidence level
as she is a little jumpy
but since he came home
she has been nothing but
confident. He didn't
take long at all to
potty train. He is very
good with obedience as
well. The cat has taken
a particular liking to
him and when he isn't
chasing her around she
is chasing him.
Thanks for the perfect
Boxer!!

Hello!
We thought it was time
for some updated
pictures of Mylie. She
is definitely a puppy
doing all the normal
behavior of a puppy.
She is a very sweet
girl. We love her
so much. She is so
very gentle with all the
kids. As you can
see in the pictures she
likes to fight Jenna for
toys. Those two are
always playing with each
others toys. I
hope everyone is doing
well.
Take Care,
Jason, Steph, Jordan,
Justin, Josh, Jenna, &
Miley |

Brenda,
Just wanted to let you
know Brutus had his vet
checkup today! She loved
him, said he was a
beautiful well bred boy.
So I thank you so much
for that, she said so
many breeders are making
them look almost un
boxer like and he is a
great example of what a
Boxer should be.
So that made us very
happy!! He is already
15lbs!
Thanks again
Belinda - Baltimore |
