Tampo Rhodesian Ridgeback

Tampo Rhodesian Ridgebacks in Puryear, Tennessee carries roots stretching back to 1970, when the family's first ridgeback puppy arrived — a story that began when an encounter with one of the breed coming off a ship from Africa sparked a lasting dedication to the line.

Owner Barbara Harden continues that multi-generational program in Puryear, located in the northwest corner of Tennessee about an hour from Nashville. The kennel name Tampo and its history reflect a family tradition rather than a recent venture into the breed.

On the health side, the program emphasizes OFA evaluations covering hips, elbows, thyroid, cardiac, and eyes, along with DM clearance — a notably thorough panel for Rhodesian ridgeback breeders in Tennessee. Barbara is a member of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of America and serves as a board member of the Tri Star Kennel Club of Williamson County. The kennel's dogs carry titles reflecting involvement in the conformation ring, with pedigrees that include grand championship and dual champion lines.
