Sunday 9/3/25 at about 2pm it started raining. By midnight we had 150mm and then by about 4am Monday morning we had another 200mm. That's about 350mm of rain in about 12hrs. Our back yard was flooded, but our house is about 1m higher and well above the water level. At about 7am the water had receded a fair bit. Let the dogs and, and straight into the water. They thought it was great to play around in.    - March 2025

Lets celebrate, we have puppies! Cyclone Alfred was expected to hit land on Thursday night 6/3/25, but it stayed out a sea for a couple days. We are thankful because on Thursday night 6/3/25 Ayla had 8 beautiful puppies - March 2025

Happy New Year to you all. What a lovely start to 2025 for us, we have puppies playing, eating and sleeping. - January 2025

Kaylee had her litter but it did not go as planned, and she ended up with an emergency caesarean.  Kaylee is doing well and we have 5 puppies, 2 male and 3 female - June 2024

We have decided to desex Ruba. She has had 3 litters, and all required a caesarean due to small numbers. We would not like her to have another caesarean , in case her numbers were small again. It is a pity as she is a great mother and her pups have all been lovely. We have hopes for one of her pups from Hakea litter in the show ring - June 2024

Ruba had 2 girls on 26 Mar 2024. Ruba has recovered from the Caesarean, she is a great mum and both puppies are doing very well. Cant wait until they get old enough to see how they have developed - March 2024

We are very excited when Xhosa won 4th Open Dog at the Ridgeback Nationals in August. He was up against some of the best Ridgebacks in Australia

Judge, Ms Nada Nikolic (Denmark) wrote about Xhosa:

5 years old. Excellent type and body proportions. Excellent head with good proportions. Round amber eyes that matches his liver nose, excellent length and depths of muzzle. Good ear carriage, short neck. Moderate angulations front and rear. Good bone. Good feet. Good depth of chest. Good top line. Good croup and tail setting, excellent coat, colour and ridge, moves a bit wide coming, but excellent from the side. Excellent temperament, well presented.
