Oct. 2024, our family found out we were expecting...unexpectantly. A love story from Paradiso!


Breeding our stunningly handsome Dante the Great and ever beautiful Queen Beatrice was always our goal. In late summer of 2024, we weathered Bea's first heat cycle successfully, but fate intervened just a few months later. But then, while on a family trip in Mexico, we were surprised to get word that "you know what" was happening AGAIN! It's possible for Rhodies to have more than one heat cycle a year, but within 3 months is a little unusual.

History tells us that one winter, long ago, red roses bloomed in Mexico. But this winter, it would be 11 little yellow ones blooming in Texas! And so, Yellow Rose Ridgebacks was born!

Now, our love for this historic breed is ready to share with you.
From our family to yours: the best dogs EVER!

Wait until you meet your new puppy!! Get ready to fall in love.

We also have some heartfelt thanks to share. From in-person training, to online courses and hours of YouTube viewing, we couldn't have done this without help from the following:
