Thank you for your interest in an Aenzi puppy.
Our breeding philosophy is to match the dam and sire to maximize offspring health, genetics, physical structure, and temperament while maintaining breed type. The goal is to produce show quality performance dogs with outstanding temperaments, so they can contribute to the happiness of a family environment. To ensure the dogs bred are of the best representatives of the breed they are AKC Champion dams and sires, from a Champion pedigree, and typically have performance titles.
Genetic testing is required to limit inheritable health issues including:
- OFA Hips-rated good or excellent
- OFA elbows-clear
- OFA thyroid-normal
- OFA Cardiac-normal
- CERF eyes-clear
We seek to improve the future of Rhodesian Ridgebacks through continuous research of breed, health, genetic and training information. In order to best service our puppy owners and our breed, breeding is limited in quantity to maximize quality.
We take much care in placing our puppies to ensure a successful adoption. Therefore, we like to get to know anyone interested in purchasing one of our Ridgeback puppies. Prospective owners complete a questionnaire and are interviewed (Please contact us prior to completing). We have a contract with all puppy owners to ensure proper communication. Pet puppies are sold on AKC Limited Registration with a spay/neuter contract. We require that our puppies live in the house as family pets. Whether the pups are used as companions, show or obedience competitors, we want them to be part of a family.
Aenzi puppies are born and raised inside our home and:
- Are provided a safe and clean environment
- Are watched carefully
- Receive much human and dog contact
- Receive individual training and socialization
All puppies have health check-ups, vaccinations and dew claws removed by a veterinarian. Puppy owners receive a packet containing articles on training, health & safety as well as copies of “Super Puppy” and “How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With” books.
Puppy's temperaments are evaluated and matched with purchasers whose lifestyles and desires are compatible with the evaluation results. Prospective owners are typically selected prior to whelping to ensure that a Ridgeback is the best match.
