Vyrtuous Rhodesian Ridgebacks, LLC is located in the greater Dallas, Texas area and founded by Shawna Chastain DVM. Our program is based on two foundation bitches acquired from Rajataru Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Ann Miller is the breeder of our Foundation bitches Ch. Rajataru Kalyan SC TT HIC CGC ROM and Ch. Rajataru Chianti SC CGC. We are forever grateful to have been entrusted with such incredible animals.
We strived to produce healthy, stable, loving dogs. Our dogs are a perfect balance of athleticism, beauty and intelligence. We do not take breeding lightly. Our dogs must first have stable, loving and trustable temperaments. They must also pass stringent health clearances as we test for hip and elbow dysplasia, heart defects, eye problems and thyroid disease. The majority of our dogs chosen for breeding will also have conformation and performance titles. We strongly believe a balanced dog should have titles on both ends.
