Rhodesian Ridgeback Breeders

LOVATPRIDE

We are a small family orientated kennel located in the Scenic Rim. We aim to bred for sound temperament, athleticism, well adjusted dogs who are part of our family. All breeding dogs are health tested, DNA profiled and Hip and Elbow scored. Our love of dogs began in childhood. Liz regularly participated in dog shows with her parents who successfully bred Wire Haired Fox Terriers and West Highland White Terriers. Our love of Rhodesian Ridgebacks began in 2018, our first ridgeback joined the family who was followed by a second in 2020. This re-ignited Liz's passion for showing dogs and this quickly became the soon to be retirement interest, along with playing golf of course. The joyous memories of childhood, friendships, adventures and love of family is how we came about our name of Lovatpride. Lovat was the prefix name that belonged to Liz's parents so we are proud to continue this tradition. Our home is set on 5 acres where our dogs are exposed to native wildlife and share their home with children, cats, other dogs and horses. They love to run and chase each other which has led us to the sport of Lure Coursing. Puppies are available now to caring and loving forever homes. We aim to match puppies to families individual needs. Full support is provided. All enquiries welcome for pet or show homes.

MSASSA

We have owned and loved Rhodesian Ridgebacks since 1984. Starting with our first rescue Ridgeback on our honeymoon. We quickly followed on with our first show female and have show and occasionally bred since then. We are not a large scale breeder. Temperament is just as important as all other traits in a ridgeback so getting the right breeding pair is essential. Our breeding pair have been hip and elbow scored, DNA tested and are both Australian champions from two of the most successful breeders in Australia. The temperament of our ridgeback is amazing and hopefully in the near future we can pass that onto their offspring.

Rhodesian Ridgeback are a large breed that are excellent guard dogs and family pets.

I have been privileged own Amber, my first RR and foundation dog to start my kennel. My RR are raised with myself, my children and are socialized with children, elderly and my smaller Japanese spitz dogs. I aim to breed true to type correct puppies using only the best lines. I enjoy showing my RR, and we also enjoy an array of outdoor activities. My RR are always keen to go for a walk and have been on hikes up Mt Te Aroha where we live. I am now taking expressions of interest for my next litter of puppies. These are well bred puppies and I hope to have more showing from the mother befor a litter. Each puppy will come with DogNZ pedigree papers. From carefully selected and health tested parents the puppies will be fully vet checked, vaccinated, and treated regularly to prevent worms/fleas. They each comes with a puppy package. I am always here to offer advice through out your puppies life.

BEARSTAR is breeding again, now as BEARSTARING. As in the old days, my puppies, show & breeding dogs are loved, home raised, family dogs first & I'm always happy to work with anyone who cares to do their best for the breed, even if it means selling my 'picks of litters', such as these globally influential greats - Gr Ch BEARSTAR CHILEAN WILLOW ROM, Multi Ch BEARSTAR DIAMOND WILLOW ROM, Gr Ch BEARSTAR KO ROM, Gr Ch BEARSTAR DOULEN KO ROM My great foundation bitch, Ch UJAMAA POOH, is in all those & countless other great pedigrees of today. KUSINI THE QUEENS MR BROWN (who's pedigree features all those stars), is my beloved family dog who’s outstanding quality dragged me back into breeding. The breeder in me simply couldn’t let his genes go to waste and his first two litters proved my breeders instinct correct, with large litters of healthy, well structured dogs of delightful temperament & outstanding ridges.

SAHWIRA

We purchased our first Rhodesian Ridgeback 'Jera' in 1992 and quickly fell in love with her and this very loyal breed in general. Jera was our foundation bitch and had her first litter in 1995. That was the start of a long journey under the 'Sahwira' prefix. We have always bred for good temperament and conformation. We have bred, loved and owned many champions. Our dogs have always been well socialised and obedience trained and have been a big part of family life and loved by all. Many of our Ridgebacks have found their forever homes with families with children who love them dearly. All of our breeding stock are xrayed and DNA tested. We are very excited to announce our upcoming litter due mid February 2024. We are located in Cheltenham Victoria Please contact Elaine: 0411966022 Email: [email protected]

BONZIMBI

I am a small scale breeder and exhibitor of Rhodesian Ridgebacks. My dogs live a life of luxury as companions in my home. They are fed premium food, have daily bush hikes or runs at the beach and accompany me on regular outings (e.g. nursing home, coming to work, brunch at cafes etc). I love the breed and want to share the joy I get from my dogs, by breeding to produce quality puppies of a high standard for companion and/or show prospects. I always aim to improve and preserve the integrity of this amazing breed with every litter I thoughtfully produce. Any dog used in my breeding program has full comprehensive health testing performed (CHEDS hip and elbow scoring +/- PennHip if indicated, cardiac auscultation and echocardiogram (+/- Holter Monitor if indicated) by cardiologist, and full Orivet DNA profile (including screening for JME, DM, EOAD). Breeding stock must be of excellent temperament and be suited as family companions first and foremost, with show ring success being a bonus. Puppies are raised with care inside my home using the puppy culture protocols. They go to new homes vaccinated, sterilised (tubal ligation/ vasectomy), with a comprehensive information book, food and blanket. The well-being of every puppy I produce is important to me, and I am available to assist and advise on any issues for the lifetime of my puppies. Visit my Facebook page (Bonzimbi Rhodesian Ridgebacks) for more information about my dogs and puppies available.

PHAKAMA

Our long affinity with, and extensive research of, Rhodesian Ridgebacks led to our foundation girl in 2011. Koko was the beginning of a wonderful journey and our pack of 4 now live with us on our bush acreage in the Perth Hills. Phakama Ridgebacks are a select small kennel and breed infrequently, to maintain and improve our lines only, and all puppies are raw fed and raised with a puppy culture program. Puppies live in the house and have monitored free range of our property as they grow. They are taught to "speak dog" by the rest of the pack and flourish easily. All puppies go to approved homes only. Health testing is a priority and all our dogs are AVA hip/elbow scored, heart screened by a cardiologist, and have a full Orivet DNA Breed Profile completed. We believe sound temperaments are essential! Every dog we have bred and kept has participated in Conformation Showing and we are proud to have bred 2 Australian Champions. Not all dogs like the show ring, so we also participate in Lure Coursing and two of our pack gained their JC titles in this discipline. All have completed a Masters in Owning their Human ;) We are members of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of WA and Dogs West. We are proud to have the friendship, and mentorship, of some amazing breeders, around Australia and the globe, as we continue the journey of preserving our beloved breed. Please email us if you have any inquiries or wish to register your interest.

ZENRIDGE

At Zenridge we strive to breed Ridgebacks of sound temperament and health. Following a decade of owning Rhodesian Ridgebacks and falling in love with the breed, we have taken the next step with our newest Ridgeback Nala, attending conformation shows and receiving her Champion Title in late 2023. We were in awe seeing how our beautiful Nala and her exceptional temperament developed as she grew, hence our journey to conformation showing and breeding. We are in the process of establishing our kennel with our first litter being anticipated later this year. All puppies will be raised in our home environment around other pets, and will be regularly exposed to babies, toddlers and older children. When puppies leave for their new homes they will come vaccinated, wormed, microchipped and with a puppy pack containing items you need to ensure the best transition into your home. Our Ridgebacks are x-rayed and scored for Hip & Elbow Dysplasia, and are DNA tested for Degenerative Myelopathy (Clear) & JME (Clear). We are super excited to announce a successful mating. Our beautiful Nala (Otesha Nonhle) is pregnant, with puppies due December 13th! Sire: Kusini The Queens Mr Brown Dam: CH Otesha Nonhle We look forward to the journey of being Ridgeback breeders!
