They Started it All
Kalahari Leo UD
(Ch Tamba's Kali of Baishore X Walgroh's Cindy Too UD)

My very first Ridgeback. Yes, not knowing any better, I trained and showed a Ridgeback to his Utility title! People these days say RRs are stubborn, etc... but that was not my experience. Leo was SMART. He had to be because I didn't know anything and  still we managed to get a  CD when he was 9 mos old and his UD by the time he was 3 years old. Ignorance may be bliss????

Kalahari Peppermint Patty CDX, ROM
(Tuskalusa of Arusi X Walgroh's Cindy Too UD)

Yes, still not knowing any better, I trained my next RR, too. Patty was my introduction into the conformation ring. Although she had her faults, I learned a lot about showing from handling Patty. Patty was my foundation bitch and gave me my first Champions.

Ch Kalahari Chiku Bashashi CD
(Ch Surami-Harlou's Kali Jumbe X Kalahari Peppermint Patty, CDX, ROM)

My first homebred champion, Cookie finished at 9 months of age. Yes, I was still into obedience and she got her CD. Cookie was a group placing Ridgeback.

(Ch Surami-Harlou's Kali Jumbe X Kalahari Peppermint Patty, CDX, ROM)

Punkin ( don't just love my non-RR names?) was my Dad's favorite and that's why she stayed with us. She had a lovely gait and was a very sweet, sweet dog. She was from the first litter and third to finish.
