What a way to roll into fall -- with a new issue of The Ridgeback Register!


And this is one of our most hotly anticip
ated magazines of the year -- our pre-National Specialty issue. Of course, there are plenty of stories you won't find anywhere else -- from a must-read on the epidemic of long loins in our breed, to an "everything you need to know" take on megaesophagus to a look back at a visionary British kennel of the 1930s -- because no one covers Ridgebacks as professionally and extensively as The Ridgeback Register!

Scroll down to see what's in store! And if you haven't subscribed, now's the time: Our last issue sold out within a week, and we can't promise there will be extras!

Lessons from Max

Our Ridgebacks are such great teachers -- when we are willing to listen. Mountain climber Beth Rodden made a career out of climbing up sheer faces of rock; she was driven and determined. But when an injury and a divorce left her sidelined, a rescue Ridgeback named Max showed her how to live -- and love -- again.

Keystone Speech

Ridgeback breeders are taught to obsess about fronts and rears, but there are other parts of the canine anatomy that are just as important. In this must-read piece, conformation experts of past and present sound the alarm about long loins -- and offer compelling evidence why breeders should address this skeletal weakness.

The Shadow Disease 

 

Because it strikes early, before puppies go to their homes, megaesophagus is a very easy defect to sweep under the rug. Here's everything you need to know: how to spot it, how not to mistake it for something else, and what to do with littermates and parents of affected dogs.

 

New Heights

By understanding our past, we can march more confidently into our future. We take a look back at England's Heightfinder kennel of the 1930s, which was known for its excessive white markings. But a knowledgeable fancier will look to the dogs beneath -- and be impressed

Track On!

It's never been done before: No Ridgeback has ever earned an AKC Tracking championship -- until now. Sally Fineburg takes us along as she walks that heart-stopping course with her boy Hudzon -- and offers tips on how to train your own super-sniffer.

 

 

Mane Event

Manhattan was the place to be in mid-September when purebred fanciers convened for the AKC's fifth annual Meet the Breeds. The event's Ridgeback contingent shares the ups, the downs, and the endless questions about the big brown dogs we are privileged to call our own.

 

New Jersey State of Mind

The Central New Jersey Hound Association lucked out at their show this autumn, with made-to-order weather -- and a Ridgeback entry supported by your favorite breed magazine! Join us as we show off the winners, the players, and, of course, the trophies!
