Application Process

Sajanak Rhodesian Ridgeback Litters

Our puppies have full vet checks, microchipped, are ANKC registered, have information on looking after them, and we offer support for your puppy for its life. The price of our puppies varies from litter to litter and depends on the cost to breed them. Our puppy’s range between $3,000 - $3,500 on limited registration (not for breeding), plus freight if not picked up from us. It depends on the cost to breed that Litter.

To help achieve our goal of healthy puppies, we obtain DNA tests and Hip and Elbow scans on the parents prior to breeding. We use these tests to increase our chances of healthy puppies.

Choosing a breed is a personal choice - it's your choice

Inform and educate yourself about the various breed you are interested in. Look into the breed specific qualities and problems. Research the best way to raise and train your dog. No matter what breed you choose, you will not get the perfect adult dog by choosing a breed or by the puppies looks, as success and failure is entirely in your hands, in how you socialise and train your puppy from day 1

Rhodesian Ridgeback is the dog for you.

Our application process may seem a waste of your time, but we have found that it works for us in finding suitable owners for our puppies. We want people that are keen and interested, and people that want our puppy for its entire life, the next +10 years.

Go through the other information on my web, I have gathered it from various sources that I believe are reputable (not old tales). It will answer a lot of questions that you most likely have.

A couple questions to consider before getting a puppy.

Is your house ready for a dog, fully fenced yard that is dog proof.
Where will the puppy sleep during the day and/or night. Be prepared.
Do you have any planned holidays coming up? What will you do with your puppy/dog when on holiday.
Do you want a Liver-nose or Black-nose Ridgeback? We do not breed for Liver-nose Ridgebacks, rather we breed for good Ridgebacks. we will have some Liver-nose puppies at times, but first and foremost, the parents must compliment each other and if they both happen to carry the Liver-nose gene, then there will be some Liver-nose puppies.
Do you want a show quality or pet quality Ridgeback

Time to apply:

The below process is how we make our decision as to who gets onto our puppy wait list. If you do not follow it, then you will not get onto our wait list and not get a puppy.

We have set responses that we send to you, as this ensures that you get all the information.

Fill out our our enquiry form.
We reply with further information.
If you live within a few hours’ drive, you must visit. If you do not, then you will not make it onto our wait list. Visit as soon as possible, do not wait for puppies to be born, as we have more enquiries than possible puppies. If you live further away, I work it out with you on a case-by-case basis.
You must keep in regular contact with us. There are many people that stop contacting us as they no longer want a puppy, so if you stay in contact, we know that you are still want a puppy.
We send you specific information at each stage of the litter: Initial enquiry; mated; Ultrasound; and birth. We narrow down the applications at each stage. It is only at birth that we know the number and sex of the puppies.
If you make it through to the end and miss out due to not enough puppies, then you are at the top of our list for the next litter.
