A group of local Ridgeback breeders wanted to start a club to provide more resources to the ever-growing Ridgeback community in the area while simultaneously benefiting the local Ridgeback rescue organization. These local breeders partnered with rescue supporters to create CBARRC in the late nineties to promote more organized activities and resources.

​

Over the years, CBARRC has remained a small group of Ridgeback enthusiasts who like getting together to have fun at our annual “Fun Days” and other scheduled events. In recent years, the club has expanded its efforts beyond twice annual Fun Days to include American Kennel Club (AKC) lure coursing trials, coursing ability tests, supported conformation shows, and, for the first time, in November 2024, a regional conformation show. 

​

CBARRC has continued its support of Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue, Inc. and other Ridgeback rescue organizations, sponsoring fundraisers for rescue and providing volunteers to assist with the day-to-day operations of rescuing Ridgebacks in this area.
