Current Puppy Information

PLANNED LITTERS:


 


Apply for a puppy:

 

In order to be considered for a puppy we ask that potential owners complete and return our Puppy Application and plan to visit our home and our dogs.  Please see the drop down menu associated with this page (above) for general information on the breed and our requirements for new owners.




At Koda we strive to raise the healthiest, best looking Ridgebacks we can, and adhere to the Breed Standard of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the United States.  We raise our puppies inside our home with lots of interaction with the family, visitors, and our adult dogs.  

We feel strongly that early socialization is vital to this breed and utilize tried and true socialization exercises when rearing puppies.  This program, also known as "Early Neurological Stimulation", involves a series of exercises designed to reduce stress and help puppies become well adjusted adults -  the Early Neurological Stimulation exercises were developed by Carmen Battaglia PhD, and are used extensively by breeders of military and assistance dogs.

We only breed from dermoid free stock and only use dogs who have passed health testing, such as:  OFA hips/elbows/thyroid/ cardiac, BAER hearing test, and CERF eye test.  We also test for Degenerative Myelopathy.

We only breed AKC champions, or dogs capable of finishing an AKC championship.  Pet quality pups are sold on a spay/neuter contract.

Show potentials are sold on co-ownership contracts which allow the breeder (or owner if they are so inclined) to show the dog if it turns out to be competitive.  We do not cull ridgeless puppies or puppies affected with dermoid sinus (dermoid puppies are sold after dermoid removal); these pups make wonderful pets!
