Birthday Puppy

Tom decided to get me a puppy for my birthday this year now that we've got our own house. It's going to be another Rhodesian Ridgeback of course... ridgeless again even. The breeder is Kariba Ridge and they have two ridgeless puppies for us to choose from (out of a litter of 11) - one boy and one girl, but we're not sure yet which we will choose.

The little puppy on top in the red collar is the female. She's really sweet and shy, but got a bit rambunctious once the other puppies all went back to bed. She reminded us a lot of Kali in her looks and temperament.

Close-up of the girl:
This little guy was a bit more out-going and feisty than the girl... probably will be a bit of a trouble maker, but then he crashed hard and became a cuddler (definitely a big selling point if you know me!). When I tried to put him down to go he crawled right back into my lap.
Any votes on which one we should choose? The girl is very mellow and sweet, just like Kali. The boy is a rambunctious cuddler, and may possibly develop some minor attitude, but nothing we wouldn't be able to handle.

I won't vote one way or the other...that is your choice. If it were me, I would probably take both! LOL My only advice...the only time I chose a puppy from a litter, I let the puppy choose me and she was a great dog...ask Tom if he remembers Shep.
Good luck and keep me posted, love Mom

Both of them are so adorable. Geoff and I were talking about getting another ferret, but Chewie's been on his own for too long and doesn't really get along with any ferrets.

But I think you should get the boy puppy. I'm sure he'll be rambunctious and a handful, but having 2 personalities would be fun I think. Best of luck in your decision!

Sooooo cute!!!!

But I guess if you're at all worried about your furniture, shoes, or posessions maybe the calmer quieter one would be better.

Best of luck with you decision.
