Welcome to NWRRC

Welcome to the Northwest Rhodesian Ridgeback Club. The Northwest Rhodesian Ridgeback Club started in January 1989, Included in its membership are families owned by Ridgeback's from Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. The goal is to encourage and promote quality in the breeding of purebred Rhodesian Ridgebacks and to do all possible to bring their natural qualities to perfection through activities such as lure coursing, tracking, obedience, agility, temperament testing, herding and conformation showing. We hope that a lot of your questions will be answered at our website and we encourage any feedback to improve your viewing.

NWRRC Annual Fun Day(s) Saturday May 19th and Sunday May 20th
Anyone with any interest in RR's is welcome! With or without a dog. No experience necessary.  We'd love to see you.
Great opportunity to meet RR people, find out about the breed and just have a great time.
