R
Star Rhodesian Ridgebacks
Greetings
from the heart of the Midwest! We are Robert and Victoria Ruggles.
Bob and I are glad to have you visit our website and hope you enjoy
your time here. We'd like to have you learn a bit about us. We hope
you'll be impressed with our dogs and our desire to improve the
breed with future litters.
As
members of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the U.S. (RRCUS),
Bob and I conform to the Code
of Ethics. All our breeding dogs have undergone, and passed,
testing from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA)
certifying their hips and elbows. Additional tests are done as needed.
Although these tests are important, we feel breeding for temperament
is just as important. In addition, although not all our pups are
placed in show homes, it's our intention to produce healthy, beautiful,
sound dogs that conform to the breed
standard.
We invite you to check out our dogs
and the puppies we have available on occasion.
