Date News
28/2/2010 We have puppies!!!! Finally, after Ky being 4 days overdue, her beautiful litter of 10 puppies arrived on Wednesday evening. She had 8 bitches and 2 dogs, all dark red with hardly any white, no DS and all good ridges. A stunning litter - Boris is certainly living up to expectations as our new stud dog. Contact us for more information.
3/2/2010 We have confirmation that both Ky & Kobi are both in whelp to Boris! We are so excited, they will be the first "Zulu" grandpups!

We also have just picked up our new puppy dog; YOGI, from Mike & Linda Parke (Veldtkammer) He is by V Mega Hassle (Gabanna) X Hespa High As a Kite At V (Africa) He is very dark red, & VERY special! Hugh thanks to Mike & Linda for letting us have this gorgeous boy!

9/1/2010 Happy New Year to all of our Zejak puppies!

The latest pups, who left us this month, are all settling into their new homes very well. Three puppies flew to Bermuda this week (slightly delayed due to all the snow!), and we look forward to hearing all about their adventures.

We have added some recent testimonials to the Testimonials page - as always we love hearing from our puppies so if you have one, please do keep in touch and send us some good photos.

We are hoping to have another litter at the end of February, so if you are looking for a puppy please contact us and arrange a visit. As we care so much about where our puppies end up, we do like to meet you first before adding you to our waiting list! It's good for you too, as then you can meet our dogs and us, and decide if a RR is for you.
26/12/09

We now have 1 male puppy available age 10 weeks,(Due to us turning people down for him, as being un-suitable to own a RR!) from the Chobe X Gabanna litter, he is dark red, with a good ridge. He has had his vaccinations, been wormed 5 times now, and thoroughly checked for DS. He has a very easy going temperament. Please contact me for details.

 We have mated Kyumbe to a Zulu son called Boris, these pups will be due at the end of Feb and ready top go at the end of March 2010. We will be making a page for Boris as soon as Amy has time, in the meantime if you would like to see how handsome he is please contact me!

We only have 2 dark red males available, one from Jomi and one from Chobe!
 
11/11/2009 We have added some new photos of our gorgeous puppies to the Our Litters page! All of the puppies are doing really well, and Jomi's and Chobe's pups are just learning to play with each other which is fun to watch! All of the puppies are now enjoying lots of cuddles from everyone and are very friendly.

We have one male available from Chobe, and a  couple of red wheaten dog puppies available from Jomi's litter - they are stunning, and so cuddly! and possibly a Liver or a Black nose male from Jali as well. Sadly no bitches available.

12/10/2009 I have added some new pages to the archive section, with information on Sku and Miko (which Mum deleted by accident a while ago while "experimenting" with the website updates!!!)...but I have now sorted it out!
09/10/2009 WEBSITE RE-DESIGN

We have been working hard on updating and refreshing our website...you will notice a few new pages and an 'archive' section for old news, old testimonials etc. Please bear with us over the next few days if things don't quite work as they should...Amy is hard at work trying to get the site finished!

Shortly we will be adding new YouTube videos of our dogs and puppies. Puppy videos will be available to view on the Litters page and also on the Video Gallery page. Watch this space...and as always, let us know your thoughts!

09/10/2009 Jali's puppies arrived safely on Monday this week, and are all doing well. She had 12 gorgeous puppies, 4 bitches and 8 dogs. We have 9 Liver Noses - the largest amount we have ever had in a single litter, and a beautiful sight! Mum is being fantastic, and it's lovely to have a litter in the house again after spending so long without any! To see the pictures, click here.
