Let’s Talk Puppies!


Dedicated to breeding dogs of sound body and mind I ensure each and every dog is not only functional, but paired with exemplary temperaments. All dogs within our breeding program have completed (and passed!) more than just the required health testing. On top of that, yearly bloodwork, titers, chiropractor visits and routine exams help keep my dogs in phenomenal shape. The reality is – the health of an adult dog heavily influences that of their puppies. 

Each and every litter is thoughtfully planned and lovingly raised in the comfort of our home. Our dogs always have and always will be part of the family, and are treated as such.

Both Puppy Culture and Avidog programs are used to provide our puppies with a strong foundation that sets them up for a lifetime of success. They are integrated into my pack once old enough, and thoroughly enjoy age-appropriate socialization and enrichment activities.

Puppies are weaned and raised on a balanced raw food diet. While I understand not everyone is able to commit to a full raw diet, I do strongly suggest adding in fresh food additions to your puppy’s (and adult dog’s!) food. Research shows how much a difference it makes in their longevity and I am more than happy to help answer any questions or concerns you may have.

I do litter train (with turf) which gives families a head start on potty training. I also ensure puppies are comfortable and used to a variety of crates (plastic and wire) before going to their new homes. This all helps the transition easier on them and you!

Puppies will go to their new homes after a full vet check. They will have their first set of vaccinations, be up to date on deworming, microchipped and are CKC registered. Puppies also go home with a free Trupanion insurance trial as well. I provide a puppy pack with some of our favourite things, a blanket that smells like their mum and littermates as well as a comprehensive book with information on feeding, training, socialization, and more. On top of this, you will of course receive a lifetime of support for you and your puppy. There is no such thing as too many questions 🙂 

If you are interested in adding a Rhodesian Ridgeback to your home, please email me at lakitrr@gmail.com
I am always pleased to get together, have you meet the dogs and talk Ridgebacks 🙂


UPCOMING LITTERS

I am currently taking a short break to enjoy my pack 💜 With two senior dogs who are still very active, I am taking the time to enjoy every moment I still have with them. I do have a growing waitlist for those who are willing to wait.

If you would like more information, or help finding a breeder who has an upcoming litter, you can email me at lakitrr@gmail.com
