The Journey to Adopting a Florida Ridgeback Puppy
Bringing home a Rhodesian Ridgeback is an exciting and rewarding journey, and we are here to guide you every step of the way. Our process ensures that each of our puppies is placed in a loving, responsible home that is prepared for the commitment of raising our Ridgebacks.
Step 1: Application & Initial Screening
The first step in bringing home one of our puppies is filling out an application so we can get to know you, your lifestyle, and what you’re looking for in a Ridgeback. Once we review your application, we’ll schedule a phone call or text screening (whichever you prefer) to answer any questions and ensure we are the right fit for each other.
Step 2: Follow the Puppies’ Growth
Once approved, you'll have the opportunity to follow along as the puppies grow. We provide regular updates, photos, and insights into their development. This allows you to see their personalities emerge and feel connected to your future companion.
Step 3: Selection & Final Details
At 7-8 weeks old, buyers are welcome to visit in person and select their puppy from the available litter. If an in-person visit isn’t possible, we are happy to provide guidance based on personality and temperament to help match you with the right puppy.
Before going home, each puppy will:
✔ Receive a health certificate from our veterinarian
✔ Be up to date on vaccinations and deworming
✔ Have a sales contract outlining both our responsibilities as breeders and yours as the new owner
Step 4: Bringing Your Puppy Home
Puppies are ready to go home at 8 weeks old. You can:
Pick up your puppy in Florida
Arrange transportation via land or air with a professional flight nanny (additional fees apply)
Step 5: Going Home Prepared
Each puppy goes home with a starter package, including:
📘 Literature on feeding, training, and care
💊 A recommended list of food, medications and supplements
🦴 Suggested toys and treats we trust and use
