Good Dog Bad Dog Blog

Good reading if you OWN a ridgeback. imho
I would welcome your comments on this current dated blog. Most of the comments are from reputable people many of which point out the responsibilities of owning a Ridgeback. Exercise, running exercise, training and a fenced area are pointed out several times. She raises some very good questions about responsible ownership.
My disappointment in her post is the picture she downloaded from another site of a beautiful Ridgeback doing what they do best, running.
The laws in most cases are not as lenient as this case in Philly. K

Jessica Wins BOS at Annapolis KC today

This is Jessica with Davis last year, she won at Annapolis today, winning a BOS Ribbon and 2 pts. The show was reported to be a good 4 day event. However the trip home was eventful. What should have taken 2 hrs took 5 hrs because of a wreck on Rt 70, a detour and then the snow and ice. Everyone is home safe in PA. Walton has greeted everyone and is proud tonight. Till we show again.

Jessica in the ribbons for BOS at Annapolis today.


This is Jessica's 3rd Best of Winners and Best Opposite Sex Win! She earned 2 pts today towards her AKC Championship.

In the ribbons today for a 2 pt win is Walton, taking Best of Winners. He needs 2 pts to finish his AKC Championship.

Just wee puppies. J Boy Litter VIEW VIDEO

Jericho and My Toy!


The boy loves his toys.


It all starts with a pile of puppies. These are Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Follow me along from puppyhood to adult to the show ring and beyond. My favorite was that little dark dark brown fellow. He was a heart stealer.

These guys and gals are almost two now, I will get you up to date, but first lets look at how they grew. Pic to follow.

It is cold here in PA. Like it was 0 yesterday morning. No one here likes going out in the cold. But never the less, the show contention is at Howard Co with the current show dogs. Walton left from here. I started getting him ready Wednesday with a bath, nail & whisker trim, ear & teeth polished and the final coat spray. He loves going on a show circuit and waits with anticipation and joy for his "handler" my daughter to pick him up. He has even taken up singing to get our attention, he is asking, "when are we leaving?" Just a little note of joy here, he slept in the hotel room in bed last night. Looks like he is a member of the good old boys club and has privileges.

This is long enough for my first blog, now to find some pictures for you to see. Hope you will come back and visit, to see the litter grow.

CHIC to all,

Kimma
