A professional graphic artist and
talented dog photographer, Theresa M. Lyons founded The Ridgeback
Register in 1995, and made it synonymous with eye-catching design and stunning
photography.
Theresa has been involved in the
sport of dogs since 1990, when she began to show Golden Retrievers, Viszlas,
Saint Bernards and Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
Theresa is the co-creator, with
her mentor, breeder-judge Alicia Hanna, of "The Standard's Image - The
Form and Function of The Rhodesian Ridgeback," a seminar that has been
presented at Westminster, two RRCUS National Specialties, two Ridgeback World
Congresses and several all-breed clubs.
With her mentor, under the Kimani
prefix, Theresa has co-bred, shown and championed many Ridgebacks, and was the
co-owner of multiple Westminster and National Specialty winners.
A proud U.S. Marine, Theresa is a
member of the John Basilone Parade Committee, the Dog Writers Association of
America, the Alliance of Purebred Dog Writers and the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club
of the United States.
Theresa lives in Bridgewater,
N.J., with her husband Louis, and children Shannon, Louie, and Sean as well as
feline and canine companions.
