About Us
Breeding Excellence. Raising Companionship.
At Tangulia Mara Ridgebacks, our dedication to this magnificent breed is not just a hobby—it is a passion and a commitment. We are preservation breeders focused on upholding the integrity, health, and distinct characteristics that define the Rhodesian Ridgeback, the versatile "Lion Hound."
Our goal is simple: to produce puppies that exemplify breed excellence in the show ring, while providing the loving, loyal, and intelligent companionship that enriches your home.
Our Philosophy:
Family First
The heart of Tangulia Mara is built on the belief that our dogs are beloved family members.
-
Home-Raised: Our dogs and puppies are raised in our home, never in separate kennels. This ensures they are constantly socialized, confident, and fully prepared for life in a family environment.
-
Temperament is Paramount: While conformation is vital, a stable, trustworthy, and intelligent temperament is our highest priority. We carefully select our breeding stock for sound minds as well as sound bodies.
-
Unwavering Health Commitment: We believe transparency and health testing are non-negotiable. Our breeding stock undergoes rigorous health screening and certification to ensure the healthiest start for every puppy we produce.
Our breeding program is rooted in the pursuit of perfection, guided by the breed standard for structure, movement, and type. This dedication is reflected in the achievements of our dogs:
We are incredibly proud to feature our Grand Champion Silver stud, GCHS CH Lamarde Perro Justice Warrior FDC CGC "Hondo."
Hondo serves as the foundation of our commitment, proving the harmonious blend of show-ring excellence, versatility, and the calm, reliable temperament we strive to produce.
