IMPRESSED!!
I saw her dogs in person last year at a show in Michigan, I was so impressed that I had to get one from her. The photos do not do them justice!!! Just wonderful looking dogs. We couldn't be happier with our Ridgeback. He is wonderful with our kids and with everyone. Obedient. Geese, he was a breeze to train him. He is just wonderful, I can't say it enough! THANKS!Reviewer: rebecca, June 10, 2009

Life Changing
Cheryl, this male puppy has changed our lives. We were mourning the loss of our Leo who lived to be 14 yrs old. He was our mixed Ridgeback who we loved so much. This Breeder was so understanding of our needs and when we came to visit to pick up our puppy, we were stunned at how loving and beautiful all of your dogs are. We can't thank you enough for the joy that you have put back in our hearts, for the empty void that you have filled. Thank you Cheryl and GOD BLESS YOU!

Nice Dogs
You have some of the nicest dogs that I have ever seen. I have been to this Breeder and all of the dogs met us at the gate and welcomed us in. We have never been around this breed and went to visit Cheryl and her dogs so that we could evaluate if this is the right breed for us. Well, we were amazed at how loving and affectionate this breed is. We are so excited to add a puppy to our home when they arrive. The dog Powell is gorgeous! Simbu was the most affectionate dog that we have ever met. He insisted on hugging and leaning all over us and walking between our legs and giving us kisses. This breeder is a great representation of this breed in what she produces and we are just so excited to get our puppy when he arrives. I would recommend this breeder to anyone wanting to learn about this amazing breed or meet this breeder. Cheryl knows everything about this breed. Her dogs are just gorgeous. We couldn't be happier in finding this breeder. Thanks so much. Reviewer: david, April 12, 2009

Loving Boy
I got a great loving male puppy from this breeder. He is the smartest puppy that i have ever had. he is so gentle with my 5 children and he sleeps in their beds every night. The temperament on this puppy is exceptional and we were so pleased when harley came off the plane. he came out right away and wagging his tail and kissing our faces. We couldn't be happier to have a Lionhounds puppy. We look forward to getting another puppy from you later in the year or next spring 2010. Thank you so much Cheryl for breeding outstanding Ridgebacks. Your hard work has paid off. What a blessing. N.Fell Reviewer: norman, April 10, 2009

GREAT DOGS!
This Breeder has awesome dogs. Their photos don't due them justice. The male Powell was one of the most stunning Rhodesian Ridgebacks that I have ever laid eyes on. My husband and I got one of his awesome babies and smart! I had this puppy house trained in 1 day. We are enjoying him so much and can't wait for Cheryl to teach us the ropes in the show ring with our Prince! If anyone is wanting a top show quality, I would suggest Lionhounds. You really do get what you pay for!! Thanks again Cheryl!

This breeder has the cleanest facility that I have ever been to. Her dogs were very friendly and came to me and I was welcomed with hugs and kisses. Anyone that says otherwise about this breeder is a liar. I am glad that I did investigating before buying a puppy. I was almost ripped off by other breeders, but when we met with Cheryl. She is exactly who she says that she is. She has the most incredible dogs that I have ever seen in this breed. She is an EXPERT in our opinion on this breed. Cheryl, you are an open book and a wealth of knowledge. I can't wait for you to help us show our boy. Thank you so much!! Your the BEST!! The Roff's

The best pets
We love-love-love our dogs! This Breeder is a rare find. We hand selected our first RR from Lionhounds, Cheryl Billedeau, almost two years ago. AND we loved the first one so much we had to get another (in May '08). They very quickly became members of the family. We did a good amount of research before selecting Lionhounds (including an impromptu visit). Our dogs are in excellent health and our local Vet has complimented this breeder as well. One of our pups turned out to be a natural in the show ring so we visit Lionhounds on a regular basis. We have also boarded our dogs at Lionhounds - they LOVE it there! Thank you Cheryl. You're a blessing! Reviewer: Martin, August 27, 2008

Cheryl has to be one of the most knowledgable people in her breed. Her attention to her dogs are exceptional. She is very informative and cares about educating us in this breed. We have never owned a RR before. Before meeting Cheryl, we contacted alot of other Breeders who were not very nice to us. Especially the ones from that RRCUS. We contacted several Breeders on that list and they were not at all nice to us. Most of them said that we had to have our house inspected and that we had to wait on a 3 year waiting list for one of their dogs. Well, Cheryl spent hours with us answering all of our questions and concerns. I would recommend Cheryl to ANYONE wanting a quality, well-tempered, healthy Rhodesian Ridgeback.

It is obvious that Cheryl knows this breed. Her breeding standards are exceptional. Her dogs should be used as a standard for other Breeders.

Couldn't be happier
I bought a male puppy RR from Cheryl a year and a half ago. He has been the most amazing dog I could have ever hoped for. I went to Cheryl's home 3 times before finding the right dog for me. I actually loved making the 2-hour drive from my house to see her dogs because they were so cool. All the dogs were so nice and fun to be around. Their "wing" was always clean and tidy, and it was obvious that all the dogs were very well treated and cared for. The knowledge that Cheryl has for the breed is unparalleled and helped me feel at ease when purchasing such an important addition to my family, and a breed I had never owned before. Moby, my RR, is UNBELIEVABLE. He is the most beautiful RR (or dog for that matter) that I have ever seen. EVERYBODY that sees him lets me know that too. :) There are about 20 kids in my neighborhood that come by just to see if Moby and I are in the front yard so they can play with him....cont'd...

THE BEST
Grandma Cheryl- Miah got her MC this past weekend and is only 7 points behind on her LCX with AKC. She also is one run away from her NAJ (AKC Novice Agility Jumpers) and close to her ASFA LSM. We are currently #7 in ASFA for coursing and she is #3 for RRCUS for coursing. She continues to impress everyone with her charm, termperant and performance. Thank you for such an incredible girl!!! She also a therapy dog. Both babies are great kids. As everyone says, Jabari has the personality of 10 dogs. Aside from all the obedience, he has learned to roll over, play dead, low 5, high 5, touch, etc. Anyway, I LOVE my kids and always brag about my breeder, despite what might others say. The more I get involve in the RR world, the more I appreciate the way you have supported and encouraged me. Hugs, Kim, Miah and Jabari Reviewer: kimberly, November 6, 2009

Best dog
I got a male puppy from this breeder. He has the best temperament of any dog that I have ever owned. We purchased him from Cheryl after our RR past away at 8 years old. This puppy is super smart and already graduated top of his class from his pet training class. We did our homework before finding Lionhounds. Our opinion is that Cheryl of Lionhounds produces the BEST Ridgebacks Period! When we came to pick up our puppy, we couldn't have been happier with Cheryl's dogs, their enviornment and the temperaments of all her dogs. Thanks so much Cheryl for our Leo, he is phenominal.

Our opinion is that Cheryl of Lionhounds produces the BEST Ridgebacks Period! When we came to pick up our puppy, we couldn't have been happier with Cheryl's dogs, their enviornment and the temperaments of all her dogs. Thanks so much Cheryl for our Leo, he is phenominal. The Gunning Family and "Leo".Reviewer: donna, December 27, 2009

We just bought a male puppy from Cheryl. He is ABSOLUTLY precious and we couldn’t of asked for a dog with a better disposition! This is our first puppy and Cheryl has been available to coach us threw the puppy process! She educated us with verbal instructions and gave us detailed material to reference for puppy care. I’ve emailed her with multiple questions and called her- and she has always been available. She LOVES her dogs and it shows! And we are grateful to have found her! THANK-YOU CHERYL!

Wonderful Advisor
I have gotten a beautiful male from Cheryl Lantz. I am very pleased with him. I could have never been happier. He likes to cuddle with me. He likes to jog with me. He does it all. He gets along with everyone that he meets. Especially children. He is so gentle. What a GREAT disposition Magnum has. We are truly blessed to have him in our lives. He gives us the opportunity to talk to other people about the Lord, while we walk him at the dog park. He loves all other animals too. He loves to swim at the lake too. I would highly recommend Lionhounds Ridgebacks to everyone. The quality of her dogs speak for themselves. God Bless Cheryl and her dogs. Reviewer: Gino, January 23, 2010

REMARKABLE QUALITY!
I am the happiest that I found Cheryl of Lionhounds. My family looked for a long time before finding this wonderful Breeder. We went to visit her and we were very pleased to see how wonderful all of her dogs are. Cheryl is informative and very caring of her dogs and puppies. I am from Europe and my family now resides in the US for a short time. In Europe I see many Ridgebacks. Honestly, NONE compare to the dogs of Cheryl. Really nice conformation. Nice temperaments. We will be purchasing more show dogs from Cheryl later in the year to take back to Europe. We are looking forward to showing Cheryl's line in all of Europe. If you want QUALITY in this breed, contact Cheryl of Lionhounds. She is an exceptional person and Breeder. Thank You. Alfredo Nunez and family Reviewer: Alfredo, February 1, 2010

Excellent Standard of Care!!!
I did alot of research on this breeder, then visited her facility. Anyone who says she runs a puppy mill needs GLASSES and then needs to research what a puppy mill R E A L L Y looks like. These dogs are very well cared for, I saw much worse care at quality vet clinics, and the rescues I visited need to take notes from her on how to PROPERLY CARE FOR DOGS!!! I love the time Cheryl took to answer all my questions in detail (I thought I had done good research on the breed) and she was very knowledgable, a true educator. When we are ready to purchase, we WILL be purchasing from Lionhounds. This is the breed for our family. Thank you Cheryl for allowing us to meet your beautiful dogs. Their personalities and temperaments were just so amazing. It is facinating how well they play together like a happy family. They REALLY ARE family dogs! Thanks again so much and we will see you soon Cheryl! Michael L. Reviewer: Michael, February 13, 2010

HONEST AND LOVING BREEDER!!
This is a great breeder. Cheryl held our puppy for us until 11 weeks due to our vacation. When we came to pick "Spock" up, he was already house and crate trained. Cheryl's dogs are so gorgeous! They are surely loved. You can see that in how loving and happy they are. We visiting other Texas breeders in our search and were disgusted at the "kennel" environment their puppies were living in. Cheryl was also very knowledgable about everything. She answered ALL of our questions. We love that she makes herself available for the life of our puppy. If you are thinking about purchasing a great ridgeback puppy, we 100% recommend this breeder. Cheryl, we will be back for another one. Thanks. Reviewer: roy, March 28, 2010

EXCELLENT BREEDER!!
Hi Cheryl, just wanted to say that your dogs are great and they are only as good as the love and care that their masters give. It is evident that you spend ALOT of time with your dogs. They are like kids. Thanks for recommending a rescue in our local area. It was nice meeting you at the dog show. Your dogs truly make a statement. We didn't have any luck with our local rescue. They were not helpful at all. however, we did find a RR mix at our local pound which we adopted. He is a sweet puppy. Has a tall long ridge that stands straight up. It's funny looking. We look forward to getting our puppy from you after the first of next year. You are very knowledgeable about dogs, that for sure!! Thanks again. Reviewer: brian, April 22, 2010

Elite RR Breeder
After a month of searching for our first RR pup, we came across a wonderful litter from Cheryl and her RR’s. This was the most professional and friendly puppy finding experience and went well above our expectations. The puppy was perfect and Cheryl provides each puppy with a professional record of blood lines, awards, health history, information, excellent healthy food, etc. All papers organized very well. Our puppy is practically house trained @ 10 weeks (with active training of course). She is doing great! Thanks guys for your dedication to this breed. It shows in the puppy every day! Highly recommend this breeder to anyone interested in a RR. If your reading this review for the first time along with all the other exceptional reviews, I am sure you will be writing your own exceptional review very soon : ) Reviewer: Dmitry, May 18, 2010

Best Temperaments!!
I received 2 livernosed pupppies from this breeder. At different times. Her attention to prompt detail was awesome. These two dogs have the most wonderful temperaments in this breed that I have ever seen. This breeder was wonderful to work with. The puppies came to us already house trained, crate trained, leash trained, microchipped and very social and loving. I would recommend this breeder in a heart beat!! We are VERY satisfied!! Thanks so much Cheryl!! Pat Reviewer: Pat, June 5, 2010

SO HAPPY
My wife and I recently purchased a wonderful puppy from Cheryl Lantz of Lionhounds. We looked around for quite sometime since we just recently lost our other ridgeback. We immediately were pleased upon meeting Cheryl and her beautiful dogs. She showed us around while we met everyone. The photographs of her dogs on her website really do not do them justice. They are much more beautiful in person. Cheryl is very informative and it was refreshing to meet a quality breeder that really cares about how her dogs are raised. In our search for a puppy, we feel that no one can even compare to Cheryl and her dogs. Cheryl, thank you for making a pair of old people so young at heart with blessing us with such quality. Our precious baby is WONDERFUL and keeps us young day by day. God Bless Cheryl and her dogs. John Frank Reviewer: John,August 8, 2010

BEEN THERE!!
Hi Cheryl and Steve, My family wants to thank you for our puppy. After reading other websites, I was skeptical. Those other websites were so WRONG! Your dogs are beautiful and look healthy. The tour of your house and yard were pleasant and I am sure unexpected as we were rather impromptu with our visit. Beautiful clean home and a great set up for your doggies. No flies, no poop!! We greatly appreciated the way that you fielded the barrage of questions. We would recommend you to everyone looking for a rhodesian ridgeback puppy. If you ever need to sway a doubter, please give me a call. I will be sending lots of pictures and of course a Christmas card with our latest addition. Reviewer: sharon, November 14, 2010

Rhodesian Perfection
I have just received my second RR pup from Cheryl at Loinhounds last week. In both transactions over a four year period I have had nothing but positive experiences. The process of obtaining the pups was reassuring in that I felt as if I were being scrutinized by the seller. Their web site provided me with good health, and breed specific information, telling me that I was doing business with a reputable dog breeder. Most importantly, I have obtained two healthy, beautiful and well adjusted Rhodesians from this breeder. My first girl is a beautiful, intelligent athlete who is as comfortable on a long mountain bike ride as she is sleeping on my couch. I have used her as a therapy dog in my medical practice, where she is friendly, calm and provides a sense of comfort to many otherwise distressed patients. . My second Rhodesian is now following in her paw prints. I have no reservations in recommending Cheryl and lionhounds. Russ Parker, D.O. Reviewer: Russell, January 11, 2011

Shocked
I am shocked!! It is nice to work with a Breeder who is exactly what they claim to be. This Breeder is fantastic and knows everything there is about this breed. Cheryl answered our hundreds of questions in detail and we drove all the way from California to pick up our girl. The old saying goes that "if something is too good to be true it probably is." It was ALL TRUE! What a treasure for us to find out that this Breeder and her dogs are AWESOME! I am a skeptical person especially regarding the internet. We are just so thrilled with our girl. God Bless Cheryl, she has blessed us all! Reviewer: Kailee, February 3, 2011
