What a beautiful dog.
I had a ridgeback named Loudog who passed away at 14 in 2010. I am going to be looking for another ridgeback pup here soon. Awesome breed. If you know of any breeders in Ca please pm me thanks.
I'm not familiar with CA but if you're willing for the pup to travel I know of one whom is reputable & has beautiful stock.
My son has 3 of them.
PM if you'd like info.
