Welcome!
My name is Carrie Ellingson and Adriatic Ridgebacks is a small kennel in Woodbridge, VA.
Site under construction.
Litter Announcement
I am planning a spring litter - dam is Ch. Adriatic’s Liquid Drops of Sunshine (Lanie), sire to be announced later. Both dam and sire are AKC champions and fully health tested.
Please contact me at carrie@adriaticridgebacks.com or 301-356-3016 to be on my waitlist.
I got my first ridgeback in 2001 and currently have 3.
The name ‘Adriatic Ridgebacks’ has its roots in two of my loves – my second Ridgeback, RokiShoals Mukiwa Blue Devil JC CGC HIC (and very nearly CH) and interest in the former Yugoslavia, specifically Croatia, and most particularly, the Adriatic Sea. Pantone, the color company, has a color called ‘Adriatic Blue’ and gave me the name for my kennel. The water theme carries through in Sam’s kennel name, ‘Lamarde Perro’ – or Dog of the Sea.
I have been a member in good standing of both the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the United States (RRCUS) and the Chesapeake Bay Area Rhodesian Ridgeback Club (CBARRC) for more than 10 years. Recently, I served on the Board of Directors of CBARRC as President, Vice President, and Director.
