Welcome The Perfect 10
We are proud and thrilled to introduce The Perfect 10—our newest litter of ten exceptional Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies. The name isn’t just clever; it’s a reflection of the remarkable quality and vitality we’ve seen from day one in these guys. They are exceptional!
A Litter Full of Life
From the moment they arrived, each of these puppies has been flourishing with strength, vigor, and consistency. We track their progress closely with daily weight logs, and we’re proud to share that every pup has not only met but surpassed our developmental benchmarks and protocol goals. Their healthy gains and steady progress are a testament to both their genetics and the intentional care we provide.
True Ridgebacks
But more than just their looks, this litter embodies the Ridgeback standard we hold ourselves to: healthy, well-tempered, structurally sound, and deeply connected to the families they will one day join.
Built to Impress
Physically, these puppies are nothing short of stunning—rich, beautiful coats, striking ridges, and strong bone structure that already hint at their future stature. If history is any indication, they’re likely to be big, bold, and beautiful dogs—most all puppies from our previous litter reached or exceeded 100 lbs before their first birthday, with impressive height and athletic build.
We couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead for these pups—and we’re honored to be part of the beginning of their story. Please stay tuned and come back to this page for updates and new photos!
puppies are here!
