The goal at Makonde Kennels is to produce in-standard Rhodesian Ridgebacks with working hound mentality; combining high-quality, multi-national bloodlines and always striving for healthy, intelligent and sound RR with excellent temperaments.
Makonde breeds family dogs that excel at performance, conformation and companionship. I am an AKC Breeder of Merit, and a proud member of Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the United States (RRCUS) and the Northwest Rhodesian Ridgeback Club (NWRRC).
Breeding dogs must pass health/genetic screening to avoid defects for hips, elbows, thyroid, eyes, heart, deafness, dermoid sinus, degenerative myelopathy (DM), and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). Inquiries about puppies welcome: makonderr@gmail.com
