Bought my first Ridgeback in 1981 while living in South Africa: SHANDY was a wonderful companion & ambassador. Born in 1991, WHISKY was my African Gentleman & an excellent foundation dog. While Whisky was in quarantine in 1993, I sought a companion for him, but was blessed to find a perfect mate in RYE from the JANAK kennel. From our first litter in 1994, BEAUJOLAIS was a great show dog, sire of champions and my soulmate. We have enjoyed much success in the showring; essentially, our dogs are happy pack members who have taught us all the importance of leadership & understanding. Thomas .... (click to read more)

He won Best in Show at the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Great Britain Open Show from over 100 entries in June 2006. This win followed a Best in Show win at Witney & District Open Show and final ....

The first litter of 12 back in July 2005 and my second litter of 13 in February 2007.
