More about Josh and Ashley

  • Why Josh and Ashley started breeding

    i bought my first Ridgeback in 2003. In short, she was the best dog I have ever owned. After having her for a couple of years I decided to start breeding. I bought a male and opened Timber Ridge Kennels. Rhodesian Ridgebacks seems to have the same effect on most people: once you have one you will never want any other dog. They bond well with one person while remaining a friendly family dog.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
