Are these Rhodesian Ridgebacks for sale?
Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Rhodesian Ridgeback here comes from an Australian rescue rather than a breeder or a classified seller, and the adoption fee already covers desexing, vaccination and microchipping. That fee is typically a few hundred dollars, against often several thousand from a breeder with none of the vet work done. If you searched "rhodesian ridgeback for sale", adopting gets you a vetted dog for a fraction of the price.
