ISILWANE Rhodesian Ridgeback and ISILWANE Whippet

Isilwane Kennels was est 1986, based on Ujamaa (Vic) bloodlines, I then went on to successfully incorporate bloodlines from Camelot Kennels (USA) and in turn sent dogs over there that contributed to their successful breeding programme too. We have been resident in Victoria, Tasmania, out of Canberra in Bungendore and now back in Victoria. I am strongly committed to breeding functional, well balanced Ridgebacks and put six generations of dogs through Endurance Trials over the years. Hip & Elbow scoring & DNA testing is carried out on all our breeding stock. AT ISILWANE KENNELS WE BREED RIDGEBACKS - NOT DOGS (and we also own wicked whippets).

At Isilwane Kennels we breed Ridgebacks - not dogs. But we're also home of MBIS/MRUBIS/BISS Aust Gr/Am Ch Ridgesetter Fly the Flag ET SC, aka Electra the Wicked Whippet. A consistent performer in the show ring, she finished her 20km ET with ease and came back to us in 2006 after spending 18 months holding her own in the US in conformation (Specialty Select & Multiple Group placings) and her new game - lure coursing. These days she is semi-retired from the show ring but her 11 Champion children (so far) and now grandchildren are "flying her flag proudly". If you've got and Isilwane Whippet - you've got Electra on your pedigree - what more could you want. And the Whippets are multiplying (but don't tell the Ridgebacks) - we must have fed them after midnight and let them get wet!!! Also resident at Isilwane are Charlie (BISS Gr Ch Tezer Feel Free to Stare), Zest (BIS/RUBIS Ch Isilwane Flag Bearer ET) and our return package Nugget (RUBISS Ch Isilwane Jolly Roger) who is now proving his worth in the whelping box. Joining her mother and older siblings "Vesna" (it is ALL about her) - Ch Ridgesetter Maid In USA (IID). Then there is the second generation of Isilwane - Ch Isilwane Ice Age (Diego), Isilwane Ice Queen (Patches),Isilwane Tia Dalma (Calypso) & Pyrate (Isilwane Rapscallion) & Isilwane Lickety Split (Gracie). And from Electra's last litter the very special Isilwane Plain White T (Delilah) and her half siblings Isilwane Dontcare What Uthink & Isilwane Ingenue.
