Malabo APD Rhodesian Ridgebacks
Thank you for your recent enquiry about our Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
All my pups or adult dogs are sold to homes where the puppy will become a part of the family.
To be on a puppy / dog waiting list from my kennels I like you to complete the enclosed prospective owner questionnaire. It provides me with some information about yourself and your family and tells me what you would like to see in your new puppy. I also like you to tell me how you are going to provide an active home and provide plenty of socialization for your new Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy / dog.
Please return the questionnaire to me by email or by regular mail at the address below. Once I have your application I’ll get back to you about the waiting lists, puppy deposits and a possible for a visit to my place to se my dogs and the puppies J.
I breed my dogs very selectively and strive to breed very healthy and sound Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
Availability of Young Dogs.
At this time we have one 19 month old show prospect female available. This house trained and leashed trained puppy is available on breeders co-ownership contract to prospective owners with a show or breeding interest.
Upcoming Litters
Both sire and Dam are health screened and have clear hip/ elbow x-rays, cardiac tested normal, Thyroid normal and have had eye CERF Exams.
Puppy Quality
Together with 2 independent professional handlers I grade each puppy in the litter (ranked) ranging from pet quality to possible future breeding and show prospects. Puppies are graded at about 7-8 weeks of age and assigned a quality grade and price.
Puppy Price, Pet insurance, AKC Registration, Guarantee and Deposits
Correct “show” prospect puppies are more expensive than companion puppies.
Contact me to learn more about types of contract available. Puppies that are sold with show contracts generally requires the owners to show the animal to a conformation Championship, and in some cases I will co-own the puppy for helping out showing and also for retaining stud-rights or breeding rights on bitches. The purchase price on a show and co-owned contract may be different from the price of a puppy “with no strings attached”.
The puppy price varies with the Sire and Dam combination and puppy quality grade (actual rank and grade in the litter).
The puppy price (all pet and show prospect puppies) include:
Vaccinations for parvo, distemper, para influensa, bordetella will be given prior to sale.
A vet check exam conducted by our veterinarian and a health record is issued prior to sale, a microchip-ID and microchip registration.
The sale also include an AKC registration (limited or regular), 2 months of pet veterinary medical insurance (that I recommend you continue for life of dog to keep vet fees down) and a free vet check at a vet of your choice from an AKC participating Veterinarian – info in the registration form. A puppy packet containing an owner’s guide, and food is also included.
The contract includes a written breeder’s health guarantee and my personal dedications to you and your puppy (24 hrs/7 days a week – almost!) and Life time breeder back-up support.
A non-refundable puppy deposit of 25% of the purchase price is requested from the potential buyer to reserve a puppy from a litter, and the remainder of purchase price is due at time of delivery.
* General pricing info for 2007 litters:
Show prospect and breeding quality puppies from the Gatsby x Donga Litter range from $1800.00 – $ 2300.00 come with individual contracts. Contract includes a 30 month of age guarantee for congenital health issues. Puppies have show contracts if full registrations are supplied. Please see below in Purchasing a puppy from us.

All pet or companion puppies or older dogs are sold with limited Registration and the buyer’s willingness signing a spaying or neuter contract. Pet puppies are by contract not allowed to be bred under no circumstances.
