At all times our main concern is for Rhodesian Ridgebacks and for those that have an interest in them. To this end the club organizes various events throughout the calendar year which hopefully prove to be both informative and entertaining.
Sadly, despite the best efforts of all Ridgeback Clubs, the number of Ridgebacks that are in need of re-homing continues to grow. Proceeds from all our club activities are utilised in aiding the rescue of these unfortunate dogs. We ask, therefore, that you particularly check out our Club Events and Merchandise Pages.
We hope you enjoy browsing our web site and that it proves useful.
It has come to the notice of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Breed Clubs that some unscrupulous breeders are passing off Rhodesian Ridgebacks of incorrect colours, as "rare and correct"- please be careful. The correct colours allowed by the breed standard, as defined by The Kennel Club, are Light Wheaten to Red Wheaten and not colours such as black and tan (Doberman colouring) or brindle. Occasionally, due to a recessive genes, silver/grey, blue, black & tan or brindle coloured puppies are born. They should never be shown, never be used in a breeding programme and should be registered as "non standard" colour; their purchase price should reflect this. The Kennel Club recommends that these puppies should have their registration documents endorsed by the breeder accordingly.
RESCUE APPEAL UPDATE - 11th March 2010Over the last year, despite a lot of dogs needing
kennelling and medical attention, rescue funds have remained on a pretty
even keel. Once again, this has been due, in no small part, to the efforts
of our friends and supporters all of whom we thank unreservedly. Of late the
number of dogs in need of re-homing has increased dramatically, as no doubt
will the associated expenses. It would be greatly appreciated if those
friends and supporters who have helped in past years, are able to
continue in their efforts to provide funds for the unfortunate dogs that
need our help. Of course anyone else who would like to involve themselves
would be most welcome. Thank You |
