Rescue scheme for ridgebacks

Our excellent rescue scheme is run by Liz Penprase. She would be very glad to hear from you should you know of anyone in a position to take on one or more adult dogs which are looking for a happy home. We also need donations of food or money to the RRIF rescue fund. This money is used to feed and home the dogs until we find new homes. Please either deposit directly into our dedicated account with the Standard Bank of South Africa, branch code 001255, account no 424322439, please include the word "rescue" in the description, or by cheque posted to P O Box 3829, Northcliff, 2115, RSA. Please contact her at liz@rhodesianridgeback.org.za or on 087 808 7710.

Books.



Rhodesian Ridgeback Pioneers.

The Rhodesian Ridgeback Pioneers is not the usual standard manual but a wonderful insight in to the history revealing how the breed was shaped and providing glimpses into the lives of the people who developed this magnificent breed.

I loved the "whispers from the past". It is such a pity that the wonderful country Rhodesia and the families who were instrumental in the breed are all but lost. We must thank Linda Costa for her hours of diligent reading and research and her passion for bringing this lovely book to us, as well as Dr Steph Potgieter and Mike Darwin for their input.

I could not put the book down until it was finished and highly reccomend it to anyone with an interest in the breed..



Dog Collars




We are offering hand made beaded collars. These may be made to specification and prices will vary depending on the size of the collar. For example a size 6 for a ridgeback will cost R150.

Please support this as the collars are being made by a young lady who is trying to raise money to pay for her university education.

Kennel matting is here ...

At last we have fresh supplies of kennel matting. Still available at the old price of R15 per square meter, we can provide any size up to a maximum 3.5m broad by 7.5m long. For practical reasons we sell it preferably cut to your requested length from strips of 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5,and 3.0m.

We can provide any size to fit however, so don't be afraid to make you exact dimensions known. Though fairly easy to cut, accuracy is about 5mm and though a craft knife copes well enough you are recommended to get the major cutting done for you.

It is made available primarily for kennel use, but it can provide a tough and durable protective covering for car boots and bakkie loading areas.

Its porous qualities make it ideal for raising those young pups, and its resistance to very high and equally low ph levels mean you can clean it with anything to ensure an hygienic surface.

For enquiries (South Africa and Zimbabwe only) please use the contact form.
