ABOUT

The book, comprising over 150 pages, was written for the purpose of helping beginners and those somewhat advanced to understand what the Breed Standard of the Rhodesian Ridgeback is asking for, what it means and its purpose. It will hopefully also help you understand how the various body parts interact with one another. I have been assured that the book will also be helpful to more advanced owners and even to learner judges.

It used to be that people bought puppies from well-established, knowledgeable breeders. Many of those breeders would take the time to educate their puppy buyers, or at least those who showed a genuine interest in showing and breeding with the intention of nurturing and promoting the next generation of knowledgeable breeders. All too often these days, all you get is a puppy and a Diet sheet - and that’s pretty much your lot! The rest you have to figure out for yourself. I am hoping to fill in some of that information gap with this book.

I trust that you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing this book. Should you still have questions after reading it, I would be glad to answer them – either in the blog or by email. Please write to me at ridgebackrevealed@gmail.com and I will reply soonest. I don’t claim to have an answer to every question. I do however have a great circle of friends together with whom I am confident we can provide solid and factual replies.
