ABOUT US

​We are Eddie and Emily Stubbs and have been married for 38 years. We have 2 young adult children, and one amazing granddaughter, our first grandchild.! We live in Southwest Louisiana, USA. 
I, Emily was raised on a farm, where my family raised cattle, and my father was a rice farmer. I ​raised every orphaned animal on our farm by bottle-feeding and caring for them. I raised a goat I named Suzy, steer I named Pippy, and a filly I named Chica.  We did most of our care for our animals without veterinarian intervention.

​​​​​​

Being raised on a farm, gave me many experiences that has helped me in breeding of our amazing breed, of Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

​My husband and I have owned, AKC registered dogs for the past 34 years, 25 years of them being Basenjis and 12 years owning Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

​We live in a country subdivision, 
near Lafayette, Louisiana. We take our dogs walking/running in the woods near our home, they love following us alongside our 4 wheelers. 

​​We also own Peruvian Horses, a 6-year-old gelding, born on my husband's birthday. and a 3-year-old, gelding, I named FERNANDO CHICO. 

​ 
BASENJI Brings us to Christ.

​​ Our first basenji's breeder showed us an article of the "Basenji being at the birth of Christ", a few years later I began to desire to know GOD more and contacted the breeder for a copy of that article, the door opened, and they invited us to church, and our lives have been blessed and on an incredible spiritual journey ever since! 

 OUR RIDGEBACK STORY

Upon looking for a dog at our local shelter that my husband could bring with him to our local hunting camp, this gorgeous red dog just stuck out to the both of us!   Upon adoption we were told he was owner surrendered and that he was 1/2 Rhodesian Ridgeback and 1/2 lab.

Max had the best of both breeds; he was sweet, obedient and loyal.  I began researching more about the Rhodesian Ridgeback, and discovered it was another
AFRICAN BREED!
​What an amazing GOD we serve!

OUR BREEDING GOALS​


We began learning all we could about the Rhodesian Ridgeback breed, I studied the original dogs imported into the United States in 1960's and 1970's and compared them to today's Ridgebacks.

​ This study caused us to pursue South African bloodlines in our breeding program over the United States Show bloodlines. We desired to breed originality in type, intelligence (prey drive) over the trends winning in the show ring. along with excellent health. We breed with very low COI, it has proven to give our offspring excellent health .

​​​Emily and Ed are wonderful breeders!! We feel fortunate that they lived only a few miles away and get to see them often. Lucy is a fabulous dog....so strong, so healthy and a great temperament. She is our first Ridgeback and hopefully will always have one in our family!!!

My husband and I have owned Ridgebacks for over 25 years. Our last 3 Ridgebacks come from the Karamojo bloodlines. Emily has done a wonderful job with researching lines for strong bodies and brains!

Our first 2 girls from Emily were fantastic working dogs. I am a Man Trailing and Human Remains Detection dog handler and trainer, so the working brains, and strong physicality were a perfect match. They were highly successful in the work we did for Law Enforcement.

We now own an " open pick flower farm" and enjoy meeting and greeting new people. We were looking for a laid back male to be our farm dog with the mind set to meet and greet as well as a level of security. Emily picked out the perfect male puppy for us, our Rogun. We are so blessed to have met this caring breeder and have had the most precious bonds with our pups.

We love our about to be 4 year old Tate. Great appearance, health, and temperament basically mirrors what the Ridgeback books say about them. Karamojo keeps up with the owners and you can tell they care about the dogs.

​​​​We got Lexie in November 2015 from Emily. Speaking with Emily prior, you could hear Emily's passion for the breed. Lexie is highly intelligent and very sweet, not to mention a beautiful girl. Emily continues to keep in touch to see how Lexie is growing and is there to answer questions. I highly recommend Karamojo Rhodesian Ridgebacks for your next companion/protector dog.
