Welcome to Africali Rhodesian Ridgebacks, established in 2005 in Sonoma County, California.

We are members of the Rhodesian Ridgeback club of the United States (RRCUS). 

We breed to preserve, celebrate and protect the original traits of the Rhodesian Ridgeback developed by the original South African fanciers.

Our Rhodesian Ridgebacks are raised as family members.  They are involved in every aspect of our daily life, as you can see in our photos.

We had the great fortune of finding  Msdms.  Laurie Venter and Norah Ormerod of the venerable kennel Glenaholm Rhodesian Ridgebacks, in 2002. Meeting their outstanding RRs was life-changing, and inspired us to dedicate our breeding to preserving these exceedingly special lines of Rhodesian Ridgeback.

Our love affair with the Rhodesian Ridgeback began in 1990 with a sweet liver-nosed girl named Yari.  The Rhodesian Ridgeback is THE perfect breed of dog, but not for everyone.  We take great care in selecting and educating families for our puppies.

Both parents are always fully health tested, we are Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the United States (RRCUS) members in good standing (since 2005), and adhere to and surpass the RRCUS Code of Ethics.  We are responsible for every pup we have, for their lives.

As you can tell from our photos, our pups are raised in our home, within our family, as the precious family members they are meant to be!
