Kids and their Dogs!!

Puppy Love and Kisses!!!
Kirstin and "Delilah"

Puppy HUGS and Kisses!
Nicole and "Drumme, Jr."

One of the most frequently asked questions we get is "Do Ridgebacks make good family      dogs and are they good with children?"  These pictures are some pretty good examples of  what wonderful family dogs they DO make!  The most important thing a family needs  to remember, tho, is that early training and socialization are the KEYS TO SUCCESS in adding a Ridgeback pup to the family!  The children, as well as the pup, need to be trained in mutual care and respect for each other right from the start.  If a family can work to achieve this harmony, they will have a  wonderful, loving   companion in a Ridgeback!
