Riley

Riley is a lovely puppy full of energy and very playful. We hope she continues to develop well and hoping for a successful show career. We were very excited with her 2x Challenge certificates at Newcastle in May 2025 plus achieving Runner Up Best of Breed. Then the very next weekend Riley won Minor Puppy in Show at RRCQ Ridgeback Specialty show under International Ridgeback Specialty judge Ms. S Kurait from Slovenia. 

Ridgeback Specialty judge Ms. S Kurait from Slovenia Critique: "Very well-balanced and feminine bitch. Attractive head with pleasing expression, well-set ears and very nice parallel planes. Very well developed for her age, with a correctly shaped and sufficiently deep chest and well-filled forechest. Hindquarters currently slightly higher. Very nice, compact feet. Good front angulation, correct rear. Nice topline and underline, good body length. Friendly character, though she would benefit from a little more confidence. Good movement, slightly wide in front. Very nicely presented and truly a little star"

In August we decided to road trip to Sydney for the RRC NSW Ridgeback Speciality show under Ridgeback Speciality judge  Mrs Audrey Hauptfleisch from Sth Africa and she won Puppy in Show.
