I have owned Ridgebacks since 1981, my first while living in South Africa was SHANDY who was a wonderful companion. The second was WHISKY, born in 1991, my African gentleman and an excellent foundation dog. I was blessed with a perfect mate for him in RYE from the JANAK kennel. From our first litter in 1994, BEAUJOLAIS was a great show dog, sire of champions and my soul mate.
THOMAS started showing Rye @ CRUFTS when he was only 4 but he needed a smaller dog of his own; CHASER joined us in 2004 and together they were a successful team, gaining her stud book number in 2008. We bred our first litter of Whippets in 2017, from which we kept CIDER.
We have enjoyed much success in the showring. Essentially, our dogs are happy pack members who have taught us the importance of leadership & understanding. We will always have these 2 beautiful breeds and care passionately about their welfare.
