Amashutu the girl has no name ( Arya ) was mated to Ch ridjestone Sir Lancelot ( Lance )

by TCI implant. She delivered 7 healthy puppies on her own and has been a beautiful mum. There are 3 ridgeless puppies, 2 girls and 1 boy. A little disappointing as i was hoping to keep a girl for breeding. 3 of the boys have great ridges so look  promising.

2018 news
Decided to use last of Enzo semen but no success, so with that in mind our last throw of the dice I waited for Sansa to come back into season and in Late July I made arrangements with Cheryl Currie from Caprivi kennels to use her young boy Ike. Ike is closely related to Sansa through his grandfather, who is Sansa’s father. Cheryl agreed that it would be a good mating, so  with that both Tayla and I waited for the right time and we started the process of shipping fresh chilled semen and doing a TCI on Sansa that next day. The result was one puppy boy a healthy 710 grams at birth with Sansa having a C-Section as she would not conceive him without help. He is growing well and is a lovely red wheaten boy no kink tail no white and a lovely ridge. Tayla named him Hulk obvious choice when you think of it, and her show name if accepted will be Kinshasa Lonesome Warrior. So now we wait and see how Hulk matures and the rest will hopefully fall into place.
2017 news
At just half way through the year both Tayla & I decided it was best we rehome Ragnar, as he hasn’t turned out to the standard we ask of our dogs. With this in mind I knew it wouldn’t be hard to find him his forever home ,& within days I was approached by two of my puppy owners to have him. I decided to place him with his already de-sexed litter sister as the age factor would benefit both. He was shortly after de-sexed and went to live in his new bush surrounds to enjoy his new life.
Our objective now is to try and get Sansa pregnant when she is due to my last remaining Enzo semen and try and start again.
 
2016 News
 
Coming towards the end of 2016 I did a mating of Ch Kinshasa Crimson Quill (Pink ) to Ch Etosha Quatu of the Asgard ( Quatu)
The result was 10 puppies 1 passed away a day later born at 170 grams only.
5 boys & 5 girls 2 boys have single crowns 1 multi crowns. The girls 2good ridges 1 badly offset
1 ridge less boy 2 ridge less girls some white on most. Puppies are clear by parentage. I wont be keeping any puppy from this litter but one girl will potentially go to a show home interstate.
We finished off the year with Sansa once again finishing Number one RR bitch in Victoria on the DOL point score & in the top 20 nationally, and Ragnar holding his own for Rising star RR in Victoria
2015 News
Coming towards the end of 2015 and we did a mating of Ch Kinshasa Bronze Wing (Bronte) to
SA Imp CAN CH Glenaholme Midnight Falcon (Boris)

The result was 13 puppies delivered on the 30th of November by C-Section. All puppies healthy and no dermoid Sinus,all puppies are clear by parentage . Some white on Chest and bellies and we had some kink tails plus one 3 crowned boy. So hopefully out of this will come the next generation of Kinshasa .

At the end of 2015 Sansa once again topped of the RR winners circle as number 1 rr bitch in Victoria

2015 News
This year sees us move hopefully for the final time back onto a one acre property in Pearcedale. It has been a long journey but both myself and the dogs seem a lot happier. I have decided to do a repeat mating of Bronte to Enzo. I was very impressed with the only surviving puppy from the original mating that I have decided to take the risk of a repeat mating,something I don’t normally do.So hopefully she will get pregnant and produce some beautiful happy and healthy puppies.Bronte was inseminated on the 21st of February 2015.Hopefully all goes well and we have some nice puppies.
At the end of March we discovered that Bronte was pregnant so we will wait to see what happens in the future for our girls.

Recently we went to Europe so Lynne Harwood my partner (All Breeds Judge) could judge the Swedish Rhodesian Ridgeback Specialty at Arsta Slott near Stockholm. Lynne awarded BIS to Int Ch Elengani Braveheartrules. We met wonderful Ridgeback owners there and saw some fabulous dogs. From Sweden we went on to the World Dog Show in Paris. We both enjoyed watching the breed there and again saw some quality Ridgebacks.
In May 2008 Lynne also judged the Danish Specialty Show awarding BIS to Int Ch Tusani Cool Bakari. We had a great time in Varde in Denmark and remain friends with many people we met there.
