About Us



So who are we? Well, we live in central Florida. We're a family of four... me(Kimberly), my husband (Shannon), and two children: a son, Cody, and a daughter, Ashlyn, both 16 years old (going on 30!) We enjoy time with family and friends, air boating, camping, barrel racing, ranch sorting, and hunting.

I have four Ridgebacks: Josie, Duke, Daisy, and Gracie. We also own horses, chickens, pigs, and cows...and a few other dogs! They keep us all very busy...We wouldn't have it any other way!!!

I was introduced to the dog show world when Josie, my first Ridgeback, changed some of my misconceptions... and I actually really enjoy it!!!! I have met some really nice people out there!! These new friends have been very helpful, encouraging, supportive and very, very informative. I have been fortunate to find some really great mentors in Ridgebacks!!! A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OF YOU (you know who you are!!!!) I am also showing Daisy, and both the girls look forward to going to the shows. We are all enjoying the social and competitive aspect of showing!!!

I have also found an interest in LURE COURSING... I am just hoping my Ridgebacks find the same interest LOL! Hopefully Tracking will also be in our future and I am currently a judge with the Hunting Ridgeback Association. I am also a member in good standing with the Sunshine State Rhodesian Ridgeback Club(SSRRC) where I have served on the Events Committee for many years and held the position as Chairwoman in 2008.  I am also a member in good standing of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the United States(RRCUS). I strive to produce healthy Rhodesian Ridgebacks with sound and correct temperaments, physical construction, and working instincts.
