The selective breeding of Rhodesian Ridgebacks in a concerted attempt to produce handsome and correct dogs with a high degree of functionality.

Pensive Miss Pink.

Her registered name will be Venifer (my V litter), but Troy will call her Jenifer.

Miss Purple considering going outside.

As I live in a climate where it's possible, one door is almost always open, so when the puppies are "good and ready" they go outside ... their choice/decision, not mine.

Organised by the SARRC and coming up on November 30th.

Please WhatsApp me on 063 272 3446 for more info, and to attend.

It put a smile on my face!

Plus, I am a big Downton Abbey fan!

Happiness is when your next-generation brood bitch is X-rayed clear.

I am hoping to breed from her in the New Year.

The whelping box is still best place to sleep, but ... if the milk bar presents itself on the carpet in the room ... well, let's not complain 😏

07/11/2024

We have teeth, and we do love our solids, but ... mom's milk bar is still the best.

All my puppies are weaned on raw from Pin Oaks, with a bit of extra kefir from Woofable.

This is also the food that my adults have enjoyed since I returned to South Africa almost 10 years ag

Those daily walks, or other activities, are sooo important.

And do yourself a dsvoir; do take your cellphone with you, but leave it in your pocket, and concentrate on your dog/s. Wether you have one, two, or several, that time spent together is invaluable.

3½ weeks old.

Miss Pink (Jennifer) and "aunt" Nimla.

Nimla and Dia (Quaraa Hadiya C) have the same dam, but different sires.

Mr Dark Blue.

One of two boys in this current litter of seven.

Both to all intents and purposes correct.

The teeth are now coming out, so today they all had their first solids, supplied by Pin Oaks.

I love it when Andrea Van Den Berg comes around. Not only is she seriously good company, she's also fabulous with my dogs ... and she takes such lovely pics.

She puppy-sat for me this morning, so that I could go on Hound Exercise (one of my jobs as a Hunt Servant), and immortalised little Miss Purple, one of the five bi***es in this litter.

Now, if only I could add the smell of two-and-a-half week old puppies ❤️

Not directly Rhodesian Ridgeback related, but nevertheless so so true for so many.

And yes, I am always suspicious of people who don't like dogs. They don't have to kiss and cuddle them, but the "oh, it's only a dog" attitude doesn't go down well with me.

The sheer joy! Inanda Mellberg Bonnet by Jukati in the Norwegian mountains.

Thank you Yvonne Rendahl for yet another stunning pic.

P. S. I hope it's Bonnet 😉 Yvonne and her partner, Tom Håvar have bought two dogs from me, Leon (Ludvig) and Bonnet, and I can get a little confused.

27/10/2024

A professional moan.

I appreciate each and every enquiry and question I get about my dogs, my breeding, my puppies, my aims, ambitions and plans.

I try to answer as best I can, and spend both time and effort doing so.

Why why why is it then so difficult to say "thank you"?

Even if you are not interested in buying a puppy from me. For whatever reason. Just please say thank you.

Hardly a day goes past when I don't think about him.

Now, if only I could add the smell of two-and-a-half week old puppies ❤️

Five weeks old. Five little hooligans by Inanda Mellberg Winston ex Sevenarch Ifafa, with Belinda Johnson in Ireland.

Inanda Mellberg Sheldon and his owners/handlers Cindy and Grant have started nosework with Sniff SA, and all three are apparently loving it. The SARRC will be doing an Introduction to Nosework at Sniff SA in late October, the 26th. Sniff South Africa

They were a week old yesterday. 4 little girls and 2 little boys by Inanda Mellberg Winston ex Sevenarch Ifafa. All six appear correct, with lovely long ridges and very little white. They are in County Limerick, in Ireland. Congratulations 🎊 to Belinda Johnson, and to the wonderful Ifafa.

Nimla (Inanda Mellberg Nimla by Bolt) and Dia (Inanda Mellberg Quaraa Hadiya C) out and about this morning. Dia is nearer the camera most of the time, and if if if she's in pup, she's 23 days today. Fingers crossed 🤞 Patricia Yeo Anita McGeary-Hewett Marius Heystek

Ula playing with two wirehaired dachsies ... all three dogs belong to friends of mine. Ula spends most of her time on a farm outside Kimberly, but her owner has business interests in Johannesburg as well, and so she goes with him.

Stanza and Ranston. This particular field is fairly large and it's 95% fenced, so I feel very comfortable walking my dogs here, off the lead. I'm not in the least worried about them running away, but there are a lot of people around with dogs that are rather less than nice, plus there is a "pack" of semi-feral dogs, probably from Diepsloot, that come and go in this area. Personally ... rather safe than sorry!

Isn't she quite adorable? Ysterkliprif Cleopatra, sired by my Inanda Mellberg Ranston out of a Shumtani bitch. She now lives with Astrida and Tony Van Zantwijk. She has five litter-mates, two sisters and three brothers, all correct.

Difficult to spot in the tall dry grass that so perfectly matches their colouring, but ... towards the end of the 20 seconds you can see them. Ranston and Stanza.

Ranston's gorgeous puppies at Kennel Ysterkliprif in KZN. It's his first litter, and we couldn't be happier. Three boys and three girls, all correct and with nice long ridges. No DS, and no excessive white. Inanda Mellberg Ranston is by Inanda Mellberg Athol-Aramis by U ex Inanda Mellberg Nimla by Bolt. Mariet Craffert Kobus Craffert Tony Van Zantwijk
