Xhosa - Australian Champion

We started showing Xhosa when he was almost 11 months old. We had never been to a show, but we decided to just give it a go. It was very obvious that we were new, and we were helped with what to do and when to go into the ring by some of the local experienced people. A very big thanks to the organisers of the South Burnett National Show Society for your help.

We soon realised that Xhosa was something special as he gained his Australian Championship Title in just 3 months of showing. We have decided to rest Xhosa from showing for a while, and will look again in 2020, below are a few of his achievements in the few short months of showing

Critique from judge: Ms Diane Stratton from the 2021 Rhodesian Ridgeback Championship Show (12/6/21) - Intermediate Opposite Class in Show

Well proportioned liver male of correct size. Pleasing head with good pigment. Compact body, well-boned, moderately angled front and rear. Would prefer a little more fill in front and length of brisket but showing correct depth of chest. Strong, well muscled hindquarter. Tight feet. Moved cleanly with good reach and drive.
