Josh and Ashley has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion.

Puppy prices range from $2,000 - $2,700 and include a non-refundable deposit of $250.
“Price depends on markings, ridge, confirmation, etc We price the puppies individually at 5 weeks old once we can see ridge definition, razor bite, and any other qualities of the puppy that may not be seen at birth. $250 deposit to reserve a puppy or to get on our waiting list. The deposit is non-refundable but can be transferred at any time to a future litter ( or available puppy).”

All puppies are vaccinated for their age and de-wormed.
We send our puppies home with Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, Toys, Food & treats, Vet records, Registration, Blanket with Littermates' and Mom's scents, Vaccinations, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Puppy Collar, Food Starter Bag, Bone, and AKC Registration.

Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
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.
