Rhodesian Ridgeback

20231227173524_IMG_4132 (1).jpg

All our dogs are LOF and FCI.

Adults are x-rayed Hips, Elbows, Shoulders, as well as tested for potential genetic diseases of the breed: degenerative myelopathy, juvenile epilepsy, dilution, hemophilia B.

They are free from dysplasia and do not carry the said diseases.

Everyone has their own character but all are sociable, close to people and well balanced.

Every responsible and serious breeder must have checked the state of health of their animals before thinking about breeding.

Son of Pukqili and Shan, he stayed with us for health reasons when he was a puppy. Today he is doing very well but we couldn't bring ourselves to place him.

So he's part of the team! 

James has become a handsome boy who looks a lot like his mother: moderate and very powerful. 

Given his beautiful morphology, he will integrate my breeding program with pride. All we have to do is wait for it to end physically to see what happens next!

My friendship with Elena and Willy Johansson began with a trip in Sweden to use one of their stud dog for my first litter (cf Pukqili Rhodesian Ridgeback Female): they trusted me again by giving me SHAN, after a brilliant Litter between NASH (AVE CAESAR GREAT GALAXY) and RUBI (ELANGENI FRIENDS IN HI PLACES ).

I was looking for a male to import, I found him!

SHAN is quite typical with good qualities that may be lacking in our RRs:

excellent neckline, excellent shoulders, a well-defined chest, well-marked front/back angulations, a powerful back line, a moderate size. With a cheerful character, he is always ready for anything! 

Many qualities which I hope will be found in his descendants.

Only serious, consistent marriages with chosen females will be possible.

It was a litter awaited for years with a male who is without a doubt one of my favorite Rhodesian Ridgebacks, with a sweet and endearing character and with such interesting genetics to work with:

RUBICON RED GOLDEN BUDDHA

I would of course thank Maria Kierkegaard Lundström and Véronica Thorén, its Swedish owners, who select a lot, for trusting me with this wedding!!

2nd and last litter of my daughter Pukqili, I am so proud of her:

​8 puppies were born and Björn, from the first days among his 5 brothers, caught my eye.

There followed the necessary time of waiting and observation, and my heart remained with him!

He therefore joins the fine team for our greatest happiness!!

All you have to do is let him grow up peacefully, even if we already know that he has a happy and sweet character.

For now, he is fulfilling all my wishes with a lovely combination of his two parents.

Patience...

SWANN is the daughter from the Litter of PUKQILI and SHAN, therefore my second generation of Rhodesian ridgeback born at home.

The choice was obvious among her 4 sisters: she brings together the qualities of her mother with the touch of her father, a very successful combination!

Swann has not finished maturing but I am already delighted with her development. To be continued!

PUKQILI is my first baby born at home: daughter of NA'WEH and a handsome Swedish male whom we went to meet: "AVE CAESAR DRIVE I AM YOUR TO KEEP" says "ROYCE".

An unforgettable trip and meeting with his breeders Elena and Willy Johansson with a wonderful welcome, a sharing of enthusiasts of the breed and for my part, a deep respect for their knowledge as breeders of Rhodesian Ridgeback known and recognized throughout the world. international.

We remained faithful and our friendship has only grown since then. And I am very proud to recognize Royce when looking at his daughter Pukqili.

Pukqili is a well-balanced, well-built little bitch, all in moderation.

She has a very cheerful character and she knows how to make herself understood perfectly! And the best part is that she is a wonderful, caring, balanced mother who knew how to gently teach her puppies the basics, and I am so grateful to her!

MAKEBA has been waiting for a long time. I was looking for a female dog to import whose father would be VINCE "RIDGERULES KEEP ON WISHING".

He didn't do much litter and I had to like the bitch too. Zuzana, a Slovak breeder, listened to me and when she used Vince, she allowed me to take MAKEBA into our little family and I thank her for that!

She is growing slowly and I am very happy with the youngster she has become. 

MAKEBA is a big baby full of joy and enthusiasm, very cuddly.

My first Rhodesian Ridgeback dog, the one who got me started, the mother, the grandmother, my everyday ally, my partner in everything.

She manages her little troop perfectly and I let her intervene when necessary, always wisely.

The Nzuri Na'weh logo is taken from a photo of her and she will remain the image of the kennel for life.
