Try checking Petfinders.com. Just type in your zip code and search. Good luck.

Check the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club website. That will help you get in touch with reliable, responsible breeders (never knew on yet who would advertise on that petfinder website thing someone keeps pushing.)

There is also Rhodesian Rescue.

I adore Rhodies but they cn be a tough breed to handle. They are a herd guarding/hunting breed and thus independent-minded, dominant, tons of energy and will run forever.
A RESPONSIBLE breeder will require that your home be suitable for a Rhodesian - large yard FENCED up to 5 feet high. They will also require that you neuter/spay non-show prospects; and that if, in the future, you can't keep the dog, that it is returned to them (and no refund on the price.) They can also provide you with the family history and health exams including OFA on hips and elbows; CERF on eyes: thyroid and cardiac..

Go to a dog show or lure coursing trial to meet breeders. You could also look on the RR national breed clubs website for breeder listings.
