Our dogs are raised in our home. Typical of any ridgeback, they follow us everywhere. They love to join us on the hike & bike trail, hiking in the green belt or running across Zilker Park. When not lounging on the couches they like to pursue their favorite pass time, of chasing pesky squirrels.
We bought our first ridgeback 27 years ago while raising our young family. I became interested in the show ring after meeting several other ridgeback owners while lure coursing, I bought a 10 month old male, Bravo, soon to be CH Vyrtuos Standing Ovation , JC, RN, TT . Bravo was my first AKC show dog, finishing his Championship in 2008. Moving forward, our adventure began!
