Prefix : VELDTHUND (Rhodesian Ridgeback)
Situated one hour's drive from Sydney CBD our dogs enjoy the space and tranquility of seven rolling acres in the picturesque Hawkesbury Valley. We have been owned and loved by Ridgebacks since 1984 and have been privileged to enjoy them both as successful show dogs and wonderful family pets. They have helped raise our two children, guard our home and provided constant faithful companionship. Breeding for quality, not quantity, we strive for the highest standards of correct confirmation and soundness of temperament, combining top Australian and USA bloodlines. Our top winning Ch Veldthund Sabre ET (1988-2002)is behind the pedigrees of many of the most successful Ridgebacks in Australia and Europe. As we believe Ridgebacks should have proven soundness, "Sabre" was the first Ridgeback in NSW to gain an Endurance Title. Notable wins include Best in Show at Specialty, Best in Show Hound Specialty, two RU Best in Show Specialty and three times Dog Challenge at Specialty. Of course multiple Best in Group and Class in Show wins at All Breeds level. Following in the tradition of Sabre is our wonderful Ch Marmatia Gunella Gusto (Gus). Gus is the Best of Breed Winner at the 2011 Sydney Royal and Best in Show Specialty winner 2011. He lives with our two champion girls Peggy and Safi and our up and coming Disa. We are always available to help with your questions about this wonderful breed. Puppies sometimes available. Please check the "Puppy Notices" at Dogz Online.
