Jarracada-bred 4.5 month old Minzi is seeking a new home. Her owners unexpectedly need to move to a different country with some urgency, and so are looking for a new home for her. She's the pick of the litter - an excellent specimen of Rhodesian Ridgeback with a perfect ridge, beautiful temperament, great with kids, and is well-trained (house-trained and on a very good path for obedience training).
Please submit an Expression of Interest to start the process, at https://www.jarracadakennels.com.au/news/lodge-an-expression-of-interest-in-a-puppy, or ask questions here and we're happy to answer them.

We unexpectedly have a male puppy from our most recent litter come back to us - the family decided they were not ready for a puppy. 🙈 Express interest at https://www.jarracadakennels.com.au/news/lodge-an-expression-of-interest-in-a-puppy (email to me on [email protected]).

Puppies eat raw chicken wings as part of their diet. It's pretty interesting watching them get through it (adult takes ~3 seconds, but puppies take around 10 minutes). You can hear 12 puppies eating, but we're only showing a few of them (inside today, as it's quite hot here).

Puppies are almost six weeks old now, they get an evening feed at 10pm (almost completely weaned from mum now). After the feed, they want to play - here's a bit of what that's like - it goes on for 30 minutes or so before they all decide at the same time to go to sleep.

Puppies are almost 5 weeks old now. They are eating more solid food, as Mackenzie spends less time with them - she has a raised bed so she can escape and relax. She's still a great mum and lets them feed a few times a day. Some of these puppies are "ridge-less". Their personalities are starting to show, and they are becoming more playful with each other. In the next week, they will start spending more time outside and interacting with the world.

Puppies are three weeks old today! They are learning to walk, their eyes are open, and they are insistently suckling - mother Mackenzie is getting fed up with them, but no worries, they started on solid food this week Expressions of Interest close in a few days, but there are still some slots available.

Puppies are 2.5 weeks old now, and are growing well (the biggest stonker is 1.7kg now, from a birth weight of 520g). Mother Mackenzie is doing well - eating 4x her normal food to ensure maximum milk production. She's leaving the puppies alone for short periods of time (she has an "escape bed" for this). The puppies eyes are starting to open, and they're kind-of walking.

23/11/2021

Puppies at one week old today. All are putting on weight - from a birthweight for 510g the biggest one (female) is now 1kg! Mackenzie doing well, calm and mothering. Orange for boys / green for girls.

They're here! Mackenzie whelped a huge litter of 14 puppies (8 male, 6 female). It's her fist litter and she is being an excellent mum - calm and focussed! All the puppies are doing well.

Puppies are five weeks old now and transitioning on to solid food well. Tummies are "sucked in" as they eat, to get the food down the gullet faster (instinctual behaviour when food is scarce).

8 puppies (this litter) is easier to manage than 11 puppies (last litter)!

26/12/2020

Puppies almost four weeks now and developing well. Olivia is spending more time separate from the puppies (she has a "high bed" in the whelping room, where she can escape). That's good timing, as they start on solids this week. But she's still a dedicated mum. We take Olivia for a run in the paddock a few times a day.

Puppies are 11 days old now. Their eyes and ears are still closed, but they will start opening in the next week. All growing well (and they are certainly latching on properly!). Olivia is stoic and mothering, a total champ!
