Est 1989. I am a small kennel located in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Breeder of quality Rhodesian Ridgebacks of Australian and International bloodlines. My dogs appear in many outstanding pedigrees around Australia, Europe and America. I strive for excellent temperaments, consistency of type and soundness. Always trying to breed better. I am very particular about the breedings I do often spending hours thinking about the right combinations of bloodlines. All my puppies are raised in the family home, my older dogs are all walked regularly and socialised as much as possible. Puppies bred for the family pet or show/field competitions. Puppy and stud enquiries welcome.

We are a select small kennel in South Australia, home to both brown and black nose Ridgebacks. When choosing a Ridgeback as a companion, we believe temperament and soundness are most important. Our breeding program, choice of stud dogs and puppies reflect this importance. We also participate in many various dog related disciplines, including Conformation showing, Obedience, Dances with Dogs and Heelwork to Music. Our "Gatto" was the first RR in South Australia to achieve his Dances with Dogs and Heelwork to Music titles - Grand Ch Mikozi Gracious Villain RN ET DWDF.S HTM.S. We believe bringing puppies into the world is a huge responsibility, and therefore breed only very occasionally. Please feel free to visit our website or contact us with any breed or puppy questions. We are members of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of South Australia and the SA Canine Association.

We got involved with Rhodesian Ridgebacks in 2003 started from showing our boy Cooper (Aus Ch Balnacoin Kelton) at conformation shows and actively working for the RR club of SA. We take dog breeding very seriously therefore we don't breed often and mainly when we want to add a puppy to our family and for our future breeding program. We bred our first litter in 2009 and then breed only occasionally introducing new bloodlines to our kennel, keeping great temperament and true breed type of our Ridgebacks. We actively show our dogs and they enjoy this sport as much as we do and we are so proud of their achievements. Our dogs live in the house with us and enjoy their walks around our 10 acres picturesque property. Please visit our web site for more information about us and our dogs, our litters records and photos and regularly updated news.

Kamania Rhodesian Ridgebacks are located in Bendigo Victoria. I have been involved with this Majestic breed since 1995 but, it all started in the mid 70's when I was much younger. My Uncle introduced me to his Rhodesian Ridgeback- via film and photos, from when he lived and worked in Rhodesia, (now Zimbabwe) with the locals and their families. I fell instantly in love at the beauty of his dog 'Caesar' and the wonderful stories he would tell me. As it would turn out- 20 years later, when I was to purchase my first dog, it had to be a Rhodesian Ridgeback. My first 3 Rhodesian Ridgebacks have since gone to the Rainbow Bridge and it is their qualities I strive to achieve in my breeding program. Exceptional temperament, soundness and beauty are the key elements to selectively produce the occasional litter- either for the show ring or for loving family pets. All dogs used for breeding have had their hips and elbows x-rayed and scored. Also a full DNA profile is done for each dog prior to breeding to check for health issues that can affect Rhodesian Ridgebacks- i.e. DM (Degenerative Myelopathy), JME (Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy). Puppies are checked at birth (and then weekly) for Dermoid Sinus. Full breeder support is given to each and every puppy bred by me, I am always available to answer any questions or help out when needed. Animal Welfare Victoria Source #RB103156
