May There Be Many Successful
runs in 2009!
My name is John Arvin and I’ve been
owned by Ridgebacks since 1985. I began exhibiting Ridgebacks At AKC
shows in 1986; the same year I became a member of RRCUS — the Rhodesian
Ridgeback Club of The United States.
The primary goal of Mystic Isle is to breed sound
and healthy Ridgebacks that are within the conformation standards
outlined in the AKC breed standard for
Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
The secondary goal is to breed a
Ridgeback of exceptional temperament with stunning looks and
expression—an accomplishment of which I’m proud to have achieved.
I’ve bred a limited number of litters,
preferring instead to gauge the success of my breeding over time.
Nevertheless, I’ve enjoyed a great deal of success in the show ring
throughout the years. The average time in between litters has average
around eighteen months. Since 1999, partly due to the demands of my
“real job” - the one that pays the dog food bill :-), I’ve bred
only twice (in 2001 and 2006).
My greatest joy in breeding Ridgebacks
has come from meeting all the wonderful owners I’ve been fortunate
enough to have buy puppies from me over the years.
