My name is Deborah Ahern-Ridlon and Adwera Rhodesian Ridgebacks was formed in 2005.  I purchased my first Rhodesian Ridgeback in 2002.  Little did I know how that purchase would so drastically change my life.  Since then I have been involved in puppy classes, handling classes, obedience classes, conformation competition, obedience competition and lure coursing events.  Rhodesian Ridgebacks have been referred to as "the versatile breed" and this is so true as I have seen them perform in agility and herding events as well.  

The decision to add a Rhodesian Ridgeback to your family must be considered carefully.  This breed is not for everyone.  They are a strong, muscular dog that require a considerable amount of training and exercise.  Left to there own devices a Ridgeback could easily rearrange the living room furniture or re-landscape the back yard.  They need socialization.  They are sensitive, posessive and very intelligent.  They require daily exercise and companionship with there people.

The foundation stock for Adwera Rhodesian Ridgebacks comes from multiple best in show winning sires and champion dams.  As you explore this site you will find information and links to other useful sites.  Adwera Ridgebacks is committed to improving the overall health of our breed and offers health information and a newsletter that highlights current health trends as well as other useful information including neat training tips.  

We are expecting a litter in Spring 2008.  Check the puppy page for additional updates and  information If you are interested in finding out more about Adwera Rhodesian Ridgebacks please feel free to e mail us.
