We have 30 years experience with dogs and have been very successful with our Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

We have had huge success with our dogs:

We have won Cruft's BOB for the last 4 years and we are the only kennel to have achieved this in consecutive years. We have had Top Ridgeback UK and Top Puppies UK for a number of years, International Champions, Top Stud Dog and Top Sire, and we have the all time breed record holder INT CH, GB, IR CH

We are both Breed Judges.

Occasionally Ridgeback puppies are available. We breed our dogs when we want to retain a puppy to continue our line. We are not breeding dogs for financial gain. The proceeds from our puppies help us to support our rather expensive hobby of showing dogs. Every year we take an average of 4 dogs to almost all shows in the UK as well as to overseas shows.

All our puppies have an endorsement placed on them for breeding, meaning that they can not be bred from by their new owners. We do not want inexperienced people breeding from our dogs with insufficient knowledge of Ridgebacks who are unable to help new owners with any problems which may arise.

We want to protect our line and reputation for quality, and to stop the type of person who wants to buy a puppy with the intention of breeding from it for financial gain.

The endorsement may be lifted if you have a puppy which reaches certain levels in the show ring, if all relevant health checks have been done, temperament and type is correct and you take our advice on the sire or dam, and place similar endorsements on your puppies.

If you would like to know more please do not hesitate to call. We are available for advice throughout the whole of your puppies life, and will provide support for you if you wish to show them.
