Puppies were born 28.2.2010 by c-section. There was one stillborn female puppy blocking all other puppies to be born normally. At the moment we have 5 females and 1 male - 1 female has one crown and 1 female and 1 male are ridgeless.
Saimi is my first rhodesian ridgeback - once in a lifetime dog! She has done very well in shows being International Champion. In my opinion Saimi has very typical rhodesian ridgeback character. She has been mentality tested by Barbro Börjessonin in 2008 with excellent results. Saimi is the dam of our first A-litter. After careful consideration I've decided to use Saimi in breeding one more time.
Zeb is one of my favourite rhodesian ridgeback males of all time. He has had very succesful career in shows and in different dog sports such as tracking and obedience. In Swedish Speciality Show 2008 he was awarded Best Veteran Male and Best Male 2 under breed specialist judge Janet Wang from South Africa. In Swedish Speciality Show 2009 Zeb was again awarded Best Veteran Male and this time also BISS-Veteran under judge Torbjörn Skaar from Sweden. He turns 12 years soon and is still going strong! Thank you Solveig for letting me use Zeb in breeding!
