What a beautiful dog.

I had a ridgeback named Loudog who passed away at 14 in 2010. I am going to be looking for another ridgeback pup here soon. Awesome breed. If you know of any breeders in Ca please pm me thanks.
I'm not familiar with CA but if you're willing for the pup to travel I know of one whom is reputable & has beautiful stock.
My son has 3 of them.
PM if you'd like info.

"Days after returning home from a Punta Cana vacation, Marie Trainer called out of work with a backache and nausea. Then her temperature spiked and dropped, sending her to a local Stark County, Ohio, emergency room in the early hours of May 11.

When Trainer woke in a hospital bed nine days later, her hands and legs had been amputated.

It took doctors seven days to discover Trainer incurred a severe infection, not from a “tropical” travel disease as they first suspected, but from her German shepherd’s kisses.

Trainer contracted a rare infection from the bacteria capnocytophaga canimorsus, probably when her German shepherd puppy, Taylor, licked an open cut. Most people in contact with dogs and cats don’t get sick, and it’s rare for Capnocytophaga to cause illness in humans. Those at greatest risk are people with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients and people who have had their spleens removed, the CDC said.

Capnocytophaga isn’t on the CDC’s list of reportable diseases, and experts say it’s hard to pin down numbers on how rare these infections are. A 2015 report found fewer than 500 laboratory-confirmed cases that had been reported since 1961, though the bacterium was not officially named as a new species until 1989."

I hope they look at any potential illnesses that could reduce her immune system's effectivity. Second this is precisely why I refuse to use any antibacterial bullshit at home. We shouldn't be reacting to our pet's commensals like this, unless we have an immune disorder.

We were not designed to live near sterile lives and even now they are finding that there is a much richer commensal biome within us than previously thought.

LOL that look!

On the way home from the vet in LA I saw a car with DoxClvr on the plate and wondered if it was @BobBitchen
Nope not me.
Our oldest rescue, Phinny, 12-15yrs (?), is at the vets today too, getting a long over due dental, his age makes anesthesia a scary proposition, my daughter works there and hasn't updated me in awhile. I'v been nervous all day.

I take mine to an awake dentist he's all over LA from Northridge, Santa Monica, to Long Beach and he does all the guys awake unless there's a problem and then I sweat anesthesia too. I hope Phinny is ok.
