PUPPY APPLICATION
Scroll towards bottom of page for application - please read "So you think you want a Ridgeback" on the homepage of this site before filling out the application - it may change your mind!
We take the raising and selling of our pups very seriously and like to get to know their future owners as well as possible....hence all the questions.
This application is the first step in getting a TerraCotta pup/dog and MUST be filled out prior to any purchase or visit. All questions must be answered, or the form will not submit. The filling out of the application does not guarantee a sale, but instead gives me all of your contact information for future reference and gives me an idea of the reasons you want a Ridgeback and your plans for the dog's future.

Remember the initial cost can be a drop in the bucket compared to the ongoing expense of dog ownership, especially if unexpected vet bills arise. Please be confident that you can afford dog ownership for at least the next 12-15 years when you consider purchasing a puppy.
I strongly suggest adding your email to our mailing list on the home page of this site so that you will be notified when a new litter of pups is due. You can always unsubscribe later very easily if you wish.
Also, please friend me on Facebook if you use it as I post lots of puppy pictures there: https://www.facebook.com/karen.watson.982
