Upcomming litter

Our stunning Qi has her third and final litter!
Her last two litters has a total of 17 pups, and so far 15 has their x-ray results on hips, - all A/excellent (0-0), and 14 has their results on elbowes, where 13 also has A / excellent (0-0) and one with D/moderate. The D is a total mystery to us, as no ancestor for 4 generations has any diagnosis what so ever.
They are all healthy in every other way, with lots of drive.

No inheradatory disease has been detected for the last generations, in siblings or direct ancestors.

Qi has, and passes on her strong drive to play with objects such as sticks or tennis-balls. This is the only treat they need to perform as you want, in true Ridgeback mannor. Her good health is also a trait she passes on, thankfully. Except for a few upset stomachs as puppies, they have all kept their good health.

As well as inheriting her good health and temperament towards all humans, her playfullness and willingnes to please, we also exspect puppies with an outstanding exterior.

I would like to quote another breeder on Gatsby: “He is probably the most prolific stud dog ever to have been used worldwide:” That should say it all :-) Another quote from his handler, Jack Secrest: "If there ever was a RR that I would want with me in Africa working, it'd be Gatsby!"

We all want soundly built and mentally stabile sires, which passes on his traits to his litters and who better than Spring Valley’s Great Gatsby?! He is a well proven stud dog worldwide, and his progeny can best be appreciated on their own web-pages.

Take a look at Bruno’s mother and compare her with our Qi: http://www.infodog.com/my/dogpage.htm?akc=HM%2088907201

We expect a litter of well ballanced Rhodesian Ridgebacks in every aspect of the breed by this combination.

I want to thank both Susan Clayborough kennel Madahiro, and Margarethe Lantz kennel Stenänga for making this possible!
