Good morning Families and supporters,
We hope you are all well and that your Ridgies are melting your hearts daily as they do ours!
We thank you for your updates, photos and beautiful messages....
Just a little info for you and any families that may want to be introduced to our Breeding Program........
Through various career transitions, travels, and the growth of our family, we were drawn to the exceptional qualities of Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Opening our home and hearts to Seka and Leo—two Ridgebacks from distinct bloodlines—allowed us to witness firsthand the calm, loyal, and affectionate nature of the breed.
Recognising the profound companionship and support these dogs could offer, we embarked on a carefully developed breeding program over 15 years ago. We are originally from Sunshine Coast, Qld, and moved to Victoria, Lethbridge just over 2 years ago.
Our breeding philosophy prioritises the well-being, temperament, and resilience of each puppy, ensuring they are well-suited as companions for individuals, families, children, and the elderly—particularly those who have experienced trauma, loss, or live with disabilities.
We dedicate significant time to ensuring prospective owners form meaningful connections with our adult Ridgebacks and puppies through multiple visits, fostering a lasting bond and supporting their transition.
Unlike breeding programs focused on competitions or conformation showing, we have chosen to centre our efforts on companionship and therapeutic support. While we adhere to all necessary health and genetic testing requirements, our approach has led us to register as non-affiliated breeders, as our values and methodology do not align with affiliated breeder guidelines.
We are fully vet-approved, council-approved, and exceed all facility standards required for ethical breeding. Additionally, we are registered with RPBA and RightPaw, further underscoring our commitment to responsible practices.
We appreciate inquiries regarding our breeding program and encourage thoughtful discussion.
To ensure efficiency and provide comprehensive details, we kindly ask that those seeking further information, reach out via private message, where we will gladly share more about our process and values.
Regards. Vic and Lana
