.......established in 1982. We are now located in the great southwest in Veguita, New Mexico. Breeding, raising, training and showing AKC Rhodesian Ridgebacks is one of our passions. I am a member in good standing of the AKC and the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the United States (RRCUS) which is our national breed club. Correct temperament and conformation, beauty, health and longevity are all concerns when we plan a breeding. We are dedicated to producing quality dogs and finding quality homes for the puppies we sell. All of our breeding stock gets health tested for at least hips, elbows, eyes and thyroid. If you think you are interested in owning a Ridgeback, please take the time to browse through our website. Drop us an email or go to our /contact-us page if you have any questions and we will try to help you make an intelligent decision about whether or not this breed is for you. We are not a huge kennel. For many people, the term "kennel" brings to mind rows and rows of chain link dog runs filled with dogs. In reality, many excellent breeders' kennels consist of a brood bitch or two and maybe a retired, older dog, all living comfortably in the home. This is TerraCotta Kennels. At present we are producing from one to two litters of pups per year. All of our Ridgebacks are house dogs, sharing and protecting our home.
