I have been a Certified Veterinary Technician for over 25 years. I have seen countless Rhodesian Ridgebacks walk through my clinic doors for medical care. Some quality but most poorly bred with extensive medical issues. After 20 years of waiting I was finally able to purchase the breed. I interviewed many breeders only to find a disconnect in our beliefs or a very unfinished product. I was delighted when I found Mary Brinkman of Heritage Rhodesian Ridgebacks. From our very first phone conversation she instilled a confidence and true love to preserve the breed. She was determined to produce dogs with beauty, brains, functionality and most important good temperament. Mary has always been available to offer good sound advice. A truly dedicated breeder who stands behind her work. All  litters are carefully planned and puppies are raised in her very loving home. I was given advice early on to let your breeder pick your puppy for you, that she did!! I couldn’t have picked a better companion. I not only consider Mary a dear friend but family.
