Bar B Ridgebacks

Bar B Ridgebacks is a Rhodesian ridgeback breeder in Waterloo, NE, in Dodge County and eastern Nebraska near Omaha. The kennel follows breed club standards and health screens its adults for hip dysplasia, elbow issues and eye health, working closely with a trusted veterinarian. Owner Barbara Von Tersch provides personalized care, tracking each puppy’s growth and social development from birth in a home-based setting.

Puppies enjoy daily interaction with children and other animals, supported by outdoor exercise on wooded acreage and structured exposure to household sounds. Each litter benefits from early foundational obedience sessions that lay the groundwork for confident, adaptable adult dogs. Many owners note balanced temperaments and strong bonds with families, reflecting the breeder’s emphasis on character as much as physical health. The breeding program traces its lines to established foundation stock, preserving hallmark ridgeback qualities for endurance and loyalty.
