Zanata Rhodesian Ridgebacks

My name is Andrea Stone, previously founder at Heatherstone Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Worth Texas area metroplex. I have owned and loved Rhodesian Ridgebacks for a little over 20 years. In 2011, I obtained a ridgeback puppy from Vyrtuous Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Since that time, I have competed and traveled the country participating in conformation, lure coursing and a variety of other sports that focus

on showcasing this amazing breed. I have met some wonderful people during my travels and learned everything possible regarding the health, well-being, and husbandry of my beloved Ridgebacks. Prior to starting Zanata, I worked with a friend and together we founded Heatherstone Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Many of the dogs showcased in the following pages are a product of the hard work and commitment we both had when hearing about our mentors retirement. When our mentor retired and subsequently passed, Heatherstone was born to carry on the vision of Vyrtuous, breeding Ridgebacks with a focus on temperament, health, conformation, and performance, while bringing in our own ideas and following the breed standard set forth by the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the United States (RRCUS). The Heatherstone dogs produced with our joint efforts are continuing to be show and showcased in the show and lure coursing community. They are the foundation of what is to come and I continue to be proud and humbled by everything that has been accomplished in the last four years with the help of some dedicated friends and family that supported us along the way. I am a current member in good standing with RRCUS and the Trinity Valley Rhodesian Ridgeback Club. In addition, I am also a AKC Bronze Breeder of Merit. I look forward to meeting you soon.
