Dear RR friends or those who would like to be them !rnYou must remember that in 45 days it is impossible to say exactly how the puppy will develop in the future . There is nice phrase : Genetic is third science after medicine and chiromantie. And even super champions as parents of the puppy are also not a guaranty of “show ” class in 45 days . It is impossible to say that it is ” show ” class when the puppy is under 2 month old . Standard, perspective or pet – class( not for showing and not for breeding ) . Not more . To speak about real “show” class we can only after 10 month , or even later , when the height you can see exactly, the teeth has been already changed , etc . But in our breed breeders will not keep puppies so long time. Plus charisma of the dog is very important for show. And ” show ” – it is very expensive hobby . Registration , traveling, training – ” show ” costs a lot . And what kind of “show ” is meant? National dog show in some small town, where your ridgeback will be the only representative of the breed or Best – in -show win at big international show ? So , if you are searching for “show” dog at 45 days – I think it is not right . First of all you must search the dog for your soul , for you family , for loving it . And may be you will be lucky to grow a real Show Star up . Of course , in this case you must choose a standard puppy from proper parents , with nice temper and health tests from reputable breeder. If you are not interesting in showing and breeding you practically always can find pet – class puppies even from the best parents . Pet class puppies cost less – but they are the same Rhodesian Ridgebacks , beautiful lovely dogs.rnChoosing a puppy you are choosing a breeder , who will love your ridgeback not less then you and will always help with advice . I was lucky with choosing the breeders of my first Rhodesian Ridgebacks , foundation dogs of Red Hot Line Kennel . And I was very lucky to grow the Real Show Stars up , I even was not dreaming to have such a success while had been choosing them . So , I want to wish the same to you. Be happy with your Rhodesian Ridgeback and it is not important “show ” class it is or just lovely pet dog .rn
Faithfully yours , Tatyana Volkova
