Rhodesian Ridgeback

Temperaments were wonderful, all ridges were correct. Movement generally was free and active. Front movement was straight forward, hind movement a little close. All coat colours were within the standard.

Puppy (1)

1 Hodge’s Colkeririn To The Nines. Promising bitch. I liked her very much. Feminine head with round, dark eyes and well placed ears giving her the typical expression for the breed. Good reach of neck leading into well placed shoulders. Chest developing, ribbing carried well back. Good turn of stifle. Hocks well let down. Moved with long, easy strides keeping a level top line. Good feet. Well trained for the show ring. BP

Junior (5)

1 Lloyd Jones’ Africaner Sundown. Upstanding male. Well proportioned head with dark, round eyes and high positioned ears. Good reach of neck leading into well positioned shoulders. Developed chest. Length of ribbing, hind quarters and feet all good. Moved well coming and going with easy strides keeping a level top line. I hope he doesn’t grow on to be too tall. RBOB
