There are just 18 questions, that only require a mouse click to answer. These questions are designed to help you with your decision. They also help the whole process move along alot smoother: Sometimes these questions will help you discover things you didn't realize, and can assist you in making your decision. Toward the end of the questions we have placed an area for you to make your own comments.

These pups are registered with the AKC, and not with "knock off" organizations that have no clue as to the historical importance of bloodlines, and support of the standard. Beware of pups that are only "papered" and not truly registered with the AKC. If they aren't registered with the AKC, it means that somewhere along the line, the bloodlines were intended to end due to some major fault as determined by the Ridgeback standard!!!
