Tuckerridge Rhodesian Ridgebacks

Hello & Welcome to our page, Our names are Stacey & Nathan Tucker. We live in sunny Sarasota, Florida . Stacey grew up in a show/breeding home with her family raising Dobermans and enjoyed showing the family dogs in fun show matches. Stacey took some time off from the dogs for a few years to raise a family. In 2005, we started looking for a ridgeback. A month later, we found a wonderful 9 week old show potential girl in Alabama. Lilly Mandisa Tucker, aka:Lilly. (Mandisa is African for sweet.) Lilly is our first Ridgeback, she is handled by Stacey. Nathan and I are so proud of her. At the age of 6 months, she won at her very first show in Zolfo Springs, FL. earning her first point. Wow, we were impressed! After that she did very well at the majority of the shows. On March 31, 2007, she became a new Champion at seventeen months old, not only winning the last point she needed, but taking BEST OF BREED!

They are a wonderful breed and we are very blessed to have such a sweet girl. We have now expanded our ridgeback family. We welcome TuckerRidge Poetry In motion who we call Roxy. Roxy was born May12, 2008 from our girl Ch Lilly Mandisa Tucker and the Sire is MBIS MBISS Ch Pupukea Ridge Ikaika O Spring Valley. Stacey is Vice President of our Fl club SSRRC this year 2009. Wow 2010 already Nathans business is doing well busy building kitchens. My daughter Taylor in High school already. Our boy we bred Dugga, is doing awesome in the show ring and growing up nicely. Roxy is maturing slowly and she is the life of the party. She is showing nice but we want her to mature more so we wont be showing her so much. Stacey is now President of our Florida Club SSRRC so she has her work cut out for her but she loves it. 2011 Another year has come and gone and Stacey is once again President of our Florida club (SSRRC) It has been another good year for her. She is ready to step down for 2012 and let someone else lead the club but will stay involved. With much thought we decided to retire Roxy from the show ring, she is happier staying home and guarding our home. Lilly is enjoying luring whenever we get her out there. We added another addition to our family last summer, her name is Pepper. We got her from a breeder in PA, Gail James. She is doing great with Conformation & Rally classes. She recieved her CGC at 6 months old with Nathan! Look for her this winter at the Florida shows!!
