Rhodesian Ridgeback Breeders, Playford SA

Established in 1998, we are a small, select Kennel located in South Australia combining quality Australian, European and American bloodlines. Breeders of Multiple National Best in Specialty Show, Multiple Best in Specialty Show, Multiple RU Best in Specialty Show and Best in Show winning dogs in Australia and Europe. Only breeding occasionally, we put an enormous amount of research into all our breeding plans, working to introduce a healthy amount of genetic diversity via out-crossing to outstanding examples of the breed from around the world. We breed for type, functionality and soundness, but most of all temperament. Puppies are lovingly reared in our home, and extensively socialised, and introduced at a young age to a wide range of stimuli to maximise their learning and development. Kushika puppies have gone on to excel in many disciplines under the guiding hand of their dedicated owners, such as Obedience, Conformation, Tracking, Track and Search and Endurance, but most importantly they make wonderful, lifelong family companions. For a more comprehensive introduction to our Kennel, please visit our website.

At Hamalek we are breeders of Alaskan Malamutes and Rhodesian Ridgebacks. All our dogs live in a family enviroment and enjoy spending time with us camping, bush walking, showing and sled dog racing.

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.
