About This Breeder

I have had Ridgebacks since 1978. My objective is to breed ridgebacks that are sound in temperament, movement and structure. We show occasionally and spend our time between Mt Waverley in Melbourne and Marysville where we have a small farm. I know where the dogs would rather be! We breed one or two litters a year and recently have bought in new lines from some of the worlds best kennels. Breeding animals have sound hips and elbows- cardiac and thryroid screening done where required.

UJAMAA

Breed - Rhodesian Ridgeback Planned Litter - Unknown

Ujamaa kennels- breeders of champions and companions since 1978. We have owned or bred over 40 Champions, but show rarely these days. Our primary objective is to breed sound companions- to do this we source the best stud dogs for our girls- most recently travelling to Crufts in the UK and the World Dog show in Croatia to find the best. Our current companion is young Nellie related to our recently departed Aust Ch Ujamaa Alessandra Facchinetti (Allie) and Ujamaa Winx, daughter of Int Ch Vizara Jukati and Allie. I have a particular interest in genetic diseases and dogs we breed with are routinely screened for sound hips, elbows and degenerative myelopathy (DM). Some lines are also screened for cardiac issues by ultrasound and/or hypothyroidism. We also work with Cat Glenn and family- they are owned by Zuri and Rosie. Fran Parsons and her pack are also in "the family"
