ABOUT URBAN LEGENDS

THAI RIDGEBACK  OWNER Mary Ann Nemisz

Urban Legends is located in beautiful and historic Kingston, Ontario, Canada and owned by Mary Ann Nemisz. I am currently the VICE PRESIDENT / FOUNDING MEMBER of the THAI RIDGEBACK CLUB of CANADA, as well as being on the board for the CANADIAN MOLOSSER ASSOCIATION,  and VICE PRESIDENT of the CANADIAN NATIONAL NEAPOLITAN MASTIFF CLUB for several years.

 I have been involved with animals all of my life. Having grown up on a farm in Courtice, Ontario, managing a dog kennel, and working at several horse farms including the Famous Thoroughbred breeding facility,Windfields Farms, I later began breeding working Rottweilers. I have been showing and breeding dogs for 17 years. In the past I have owned Shar-Peis, an American Pit Bull Terrier, Neapolitan Mastiff and a Labrador Retriever as well as many mixes (rescues). I was a dog obedience trainer at Havelberg Dog Academy as well as a Zoo-Keeper at Jungle Cat World. I worked for several years conducting patrols on the streets of Toronto with my canine partner Tonya, and Mounted Patrols on my equine partners BEN and CODY.

INTELLIGARDE THAI RIDGEBACK OWNER Mary Ann Nemisz

I am very active in the dog show world attending shows nearly every weekend in the summer. I can be found with my dogs  in the conformation ring at Rare Breed Club of South Western Ontario, American Rare Breed Association, Rarities, Canine Federation of Canada, and United Kennel Club Shows. I am the only Thai Ridgeback Breeder in Canada actively showing, racing and lure-coursing  my dogs and with Multi titled dogs. We are also training for Obedience, Agilty and Rally-O. We have the ONLY Thai Ridgebacks in the WORLD who are competatively racing.

I first fell in love with Thai Ridgebacks when I saw them at a rare breed show I was attending with my Neapolitan Mastiff. I immediately had to know all about them and spoke with the owner. I handled them in the ring for him that day and I was hooked. While waiting for my much anticipated puppy I did extensive research on the breed. After 2 years the pup for me was born, ASIA (Multi Best In Show winner  WORLD, Mexican, American, Canadian and International Grand Campion). I then eagerly awaited the arrival of my other two Thai Ridgebacks, BRAUN (Multi Best Puppy In Show and Group winner, Canadian Champion) and KAI (Multi Best In Show, Canadian, American, International Grand Champion).

 All of my Thai Ridgeback Dogs live in my home, and not in a kennel setting. I maintain a small number of dogs so that they can receive the love and attention that they deserve. They are a very important part of the family and are well-loved pets. For me, dogs are my passion and showing is my hobby, this not a business nor should breeding ever be considered one as some "breeders" do.  All of my dogs are owner handled in the conformation ring with the occassional helping hand when they are up against each other. We are proud to say that our dogs are also assisting some very talented Junior handlers move up the ranks (see news pages).


 I breed only Thai Ridgebacks and occassionally do some very select breedings as we are very busy with our other dog activities. My aim is to breed sensible, happy, healthy Thai Ridgebacks who are a pleasure to live with as pets and show dogs. I take pride in producing fun-loving puppies with tons of attitude and showmanship. I breed for quality, NOT for quantity and only when I am interested in keeping show puppies for myself. My pedigrees contain the top winning Thai Ridgebacks of all time in Thailand/World and my dogs have kept up that reputation by being some of the all time top winning dogs in the world as well. That means that one can be assured I am only breeding the best Thai Ridgebacks in North America. Therefore, in doing so, I only have a very limited number of puppies and even the pet puppies from Urban Legends come from quality breedings. Every litter born here is raised in my home and properly socialized before they go to their new families.

We are the only Thai Ridgeback Breeder in Canada currently
testing hips and elbows of our breeding dogs to ensure only sound dogs are bred. I am happy to send sire's and dam's certificates of  clearances to potential buyers. I warrantee all puppies for temperament and genetic problems. Please ask to view my contract.


I provide a written warranty of health, and a pedigree, so you can be confident of your puppy's physical well being, and know where your puppy comes from. All of my puppies are provided with first shots, de-wormed, receive a health check from my Veterinarian, identified by microchip by request and are always registered. Pet puppies are spayed/neutered before leaving us at no extra cost to the buyers. Each puppy goes to their new home with a puppy pack.

If you are committed to owning a top quality Thai Ridgeback and are capable of making the commitment this type of dog deserves, please consider a puppy from Urban Legends Thai Ridgeback Dogs.
