Palmetto Ridgebacks
ABOUT US
We are located in Florence, SC and have been breeding Rhodesian Ridgebacks since 2007. We were formally Phillips Stables and Kennels but with life changes, we no longer have horses. We strive to only breed healthy dogs with a good confirmation. The puppies are well socialized with children. All of our puppies come with a veterinarian wellness check at 6 weeks old, will be up to date with vaccinations, and come with a 1 year health guarantee.
Color
The color is not guaranteed to stay the same. RR have many color scales. Red, light wheaten, wheaten are common variations and they can also have either a black or liver nose. While the color of the nose can be detected early on you may notice your puppies coat lighten or darken as they get older.
Temperament
The puppies temperament is not guaranteed to stay the same. The first few weeks of life we notice a change in their personalities as they mature. A puppy that seems lazy and 4 weeks my be extremely energetic at 7 weeks and visa versa. We always use our best guess to determine which puppy is the best fit for an individual. Keeping your puppy well socialized and away from traumatic experiences will help. Talk to your vet for the best time to spay or neuter your puppy.
The Ridge
The ridge should be clearly defined, tapering and symmetrical. It should start immediately behind the shoulders and continue to a point between the prominence of the hips and should contain two identical crowns (whorls) directly opposite each other.
