"Amazing Grace, Noble Heart"

LionsLea Rhodesian Ridgebacks are a small kennel based just outside the Australian Capital Territory, not only passionate about our breed but with a special love for the Livernose.

We breed selectively and all dogs in our breeding program are hip/elbow scored, heart screened and DNA tested for Degenerative Myelopathy and Junior Myoclonic Epilepsy.

We keenly enjoy campaigning our Ridgebacks in the showring and are incredibly proud of their achievements but more importantly we are blessed with loyal and devoted family companions.

If you would like to inquire about a Lionslea puppy please contact us via email or call and have a chat. We are always happy to discuss the breed with anyone who is looking to make a Ridgeback part of their family.

Question. Do you have any of the following: conditions of sale, health guarantee or warranty, de-sexing agreement, a buyer questionnaire, verbal or personal interview?

Phone interview, followed by meet and greet which we hold when pups are approximately 6 weeks old. I rarely sell sight unseen unless they have been recommended by a trusted source. Visits to Lionslea are always welcomed by appointment.
