If You Are Looking For A Puppy
As you have probably already discovered there is great difficulty finding a well-bred puppy at the moment due to the Covid-19 situation. Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous people who are taking advantage of this and breeding and charging exorbitant amounts for puppies. I recently heard of a litter which have been bred from parents that have not been health tested and the sire has been used at stud about 15 times! The puppies will not be Kennel Club registered and are being sold for £2,500 each. This is not the only litter that you will find advertised on the internet, somebody else has been charging £3,500!
My advice is ONLY to go via one of the breed clubs, please do not consider anything advertised on sites such as Pets4Homes, Preloved, Gumtree or Epupz. Please put your name down with the club puppy waiting lists and be patient and wait for things to settle down.
Click on any of the cards below to get in touch with the relevant person/club:

- The Midland and Northern Ridgeback Club Alison Wigglesworth
- The Southern Rhodesian Ridgebacks Club Mrs. Mandy Maidment

Please be patient and wait for the right puppy, it will certainly be worth it.
