The Chesapeake Bay Area Rhodesian Ridgeback Club (CBARRC) is comprised of Ridgeback owners and enthusiasts in the DC metropolitan area and surrounding states.

We are dedicated to providing resources, mentorship, and education to current and prospective ridgeback owners. Our members participate in a variety of dog events, including conformation, agility, lure coursing, and obedience. Our goal is to promote the versatility of the breed, camaraderie, and good sportsmanship. We endorse responsible breeding and support rescue efforts.

Welcome Ridgebacks and Their Owners!
