Ada Is Officially Ours!

Tonight Bill and Cyndee, Ada's previous owners, stopped by and we officially transferred ownership! After they left there were of course five different forms to mail out in order to keep it official, but those are all done as well. Yay! Bill and Cyndee also brought by two of Ada's siblings (not by breeding). It was the first time we have seen Ada play with other dogs and it was great. Tye and Nick are both at least a couple inches taller than Ada, but she definitely didn't let that slow her down. Both of the other dogs have their AKC Championship (Tye won best in breed at the dogshow where we met Ada). That said, we were impressed with how Ada stood out as the best looking one of the three... she is a gorgeous dog! Here are a couple pictures of all the dogs together. The first one has Bill and Cyndee... it's not a good picture of them, but I forgot to get a formal one... oops. I will have to get that next time. They invited us come have a barbeque when the weather clears up so Ada can romp with her siblings on their open fields out in the booneys of Oregon. They also offered to have us come to Cyndee's grooming shop whenever we like for Ada's nails to be trimmed. Even though they are completely giving us our space, it is clear that they care for Ada a lot and it is hard to see her go. We have really appreciated the way they have handled all of our interactions with them and are glad to have a resource when we need dog training advice.

Ada, Nick, and Tye
This shows the range of colors that ridgebacks can come in pretty well. Ada is a light wheaton (though some will get almost blonde), Nick is red wheaton, and Tye is wheaton


I put this picture in because it shows off Ada and Nick's ridges.


Jared now wants three ridgebacks... uh oh.
