Tamaridge Rhodesian Ridgebacks

Oh the dreaded Puppy Questionnaire

You may feel Like we are asking way to many questions, But the fact of the matter is,`` for every question you have ,  We`ll have questions to. We`re just being sure our breed is the right one for your needs and lifestyle. It`s our  way of starting a relation ship with you, So bare with us in this process. Reputable breeders go out of there way to offer a life time of support and are there when any problems a raise. Unlike the Back Yard Breeder. They don't care and the relationship is usually severed once puppy has been bought. I have had friends call me to help place young or adult dog in new homes. One of the first questions I ask is!! Have they contacted there breeder`` . I can honestly say .`All the calls I have received,  These dogs are  from backyard breeders or  pet stores. Does it not make sense for a responsible breeder who loves their dogs to ask questions, than breeder who does not CARE about the people who are purchasing one of there dogs....
