Today the puppy’s got their first meaty bones.
They have been busey with it for a while and it has not been so quit last days.
We only heard them enjoy their bones.
And at the end they all fall asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~
28-12-2022
Today we expand the puppypen again. The pen is bigger now and we already put some crates in.
For us it is very important that the puppy’s are very familiair with the crates. That makes the movement to their future homes easier.
~~~~~~~~~~
27-12-2022
Today the puppy’s had an after Christmas day 😉
But for Mia and us it was an exciting day.
Mia always has been our girls with special needs.
One year ago some of here theeth where in bad shape.
So the vet removed some of them and cleanded the rest.
But today we had to bring her in surgery again for her theet.
Again the vet removed several teeth.
After her kind of epileptic seizures last week, it was a very nervous day for us.
We directly removed a limb that will be checked.
We hope that Mia is without pain now, and we will do everything we can to keep the rest of her teeth in good shape.
~~~~~~~~~~
26-12-2022
The puppy’s getting more active everyday and have more and more interest in the items we put in the pen.
They also start to play with eachother more and more, what now and then sound very heavy. But they learn eachother boundry’ during their play sessions.
We also started with small training sessions with the puppy’s. That makes that we can see how the puppies develope, and how their characters are.
Today the puppy’s learned to take a little treat out of my hand. Some of them directly understand how to take it, and some more licked the treat out of my hand 😉

At this moment we talk a lot about our D-litter puppy’s.
But ofcourse we don’t forget about our other puppy’s.
We received a picture from beautiful Djambo (Hidaya Bello Bruno).
Djambo is from our B-litter (Dolce x Rio) and he really is a copy of his mother.
~~~~~~~~~~
Every day the puppy’s got something new to discover.
Today it was a music mat. That was a real party!
~~~~~~~~~~
22-12-2022
Again a lot happened in the short life of our dragons and their queen.
The last days the puppy’s where walking around more and more, they are more awake, and they also came out of the whelpingbox more often.
So we gave the puppy’s their first small pen.
De whelpingbox is stored again and will be back for our E-litter around 2024.
We made for the puppy’s a little pen with 2 pillows.
There is also a pottyarea. Ofcourse they do not always make it to the pottyarea,
but more and more the go to the right place.
The pillows are very close to the pottyarea, becaus puppy’s this age can not walk more then about 2 steps before they have to go.
They don’t need a lot space at this age.
Feeding the puppy’s is getting harder for Ani. And we can understand that very good, because the puppy’s have really sharp theeth already.
The past days we gave the puppy’s some puppymilk also.
They did like that a lot.
Yesterday we put some smashed potato in the melk.
The body can normally handle this food very good, so this is our way to see how
the puppy’s body react on the food.
They did well, so today it was time for the next step.
We made a little slurry, with the milk and some fresh meat (energique KVV).
Well they loved it!!
~~~~~~~~
21-12-2022
Finally an update again!
Last days we did not found the time to update the website.
The puppy’s had several visits from the future puppyowners.
That are very nice but also very intensive days for the puppy’s and for us.
Also has our Mia been sick, some days ago, and have we been really worried about her.
At this moment it is going better.
The puppy’s are doing really great!
They grow so fast and look like real little dogs now.
They are awake longer, and coming out of the whelpingbox often.
They play with eachoter and know how to growl and bark.
They get more and more interessted in the toys we offer them,
and they use the pottyarea very well.
The ears are now also open, so we started our soundprotocol,
to get them used to louder and softer sounds.
Yesterday, they also got their first wormtreatment.
From now the socialisation period really started.
That will be a very nice but also busey time.
We will try to update the website everyday again to share
the adventures of the dragons with you.
Fore most of our puppy’s we have found perfect homes. But some of our boys are still available.
We don’t have specific puppy’s available, because we match the owner and the puppy around 7 weeks of age with eachother.
Zoë is so happy when she is allowed to spend some time with the puppy’s.
~~~~~~~~~~
14-12-2022
Yesterda we did not had the time to give you a puppy update on the website.
But so much happened the last 48 hours.
The puppy’s are developing so fast and so much.
They can stand on their feet better and better and are so curious.
When I enter the whelpingbos they come to me and look for a nice place on my lap for a cuddle and sleep.
Everyday the puppy’s get a new toy to discover.
It is special to sit and watch them sniffing and touching the toy.
Today I noticed a puppy with the teeth coming trough. After checking all the puppy’s I saw it was very different. Some of them we can see the teeth, but with some of them not at all yet.
That will chance the upcoming days.
Ani is taking some time out of the whelpingbox more and more. She is looking a bit more after herself then te first weeks.
Zoë can not wait… Several times she looked over the whelingbox to see what is going on in there.
This morning was het moment, she was standing with me next to the whelping box and the puppy’s showed their interest in her also.
That was a big adventure!
For the puppy’s who I hear sleeping and dreaming/processing in the background.
But also for Zoë who is only 20 months yet and never seen this before.
~~~~~~~~~~
12-12-2022
The eyes are now almost open, the puppy’s are waggling true the whelpingbox, and we get the idea that some of the puppy’s start to hear noises.
So that means a new puppytime has started!
Today we placed a toy in the whelpingbox for the puppy’s for the first time.
It is so great to see, how some of the puppy’s go out on adventure to see, feel and smell what that new thing is.
~~~~~~~~~~
11-12-2022
Our puppy’s are 12 days old and we made some new head pictures.
I like them so much and I am so proud of them.
Some of my beautiful dragons are still looking for the very best home.

For our future puppyowners we made an informationmap.
In this book we wrote a lot of general information about the Rhodesian Ridgeback,
but also about thing like driving home with the puppy, the first days at home and raising a rhodesian ridgeback. In this book we also explain everything we do with the puppy’s and why we do things this way.
De future owners can read a lot about thing like deworming and vaccination.
We wrote a lot ourself because some subject are our personal ideas. But we are also verty thankful for the proffesionals who wrote an article for us.
This we we think we made a wonderful informationbook, that give the future owner the help, for the first day at home with their puppy, but also subject to think about, like what they want to do with de-worming, vaccination, food, looking for a dogschool etc.
Because we think that is is much nicer to get al the information and making the decissions before the puppy arrive home. When the puppy is there, you only want to enjoy this special time.
~~~~~~~~~~
09-12-2022
Yesterday we saw that Mister Dark Blue was waggling away a few steps before he started to pee.
This means he does not want to make his nest dirty.
We watching the other puppy’s we saw more of them doing the same.
And that means we re-organized the whelpingbox, so that we can start with potty-training.
We placed two small beds in the whelping box, as their “nest”. In front of the beds, we put some trainingpads.
The idea is NOT to learn the puppy’s pee and poop on the trainingpads, but to learn to leave their nest, so it stays clean.
We choose those “bumperbeds” for this, so the puppy’s really feel that they are leaving the nest.
Ofcourse we don’t expect from them that they do it the right way directly.
But for us this is a great oppurtunity to use their natural instinct for potty-training.
~~~~~~~~~~
08-12-2022
Every day I take the puppy’s in my hands several times. Next to the cuddle sessiond and ENS, I take every puppy with me for a moment.
In this way I can feel and see them and take a good look at them. So I can see it directly when something is wrong.
What I saw today was nothing bad, but just very nice and sweet.
The eyes of Mister Red are a little bit open now.
In the first week we already noticed that Mr. Red is very quick with a lot of things.
From the day he was born, he went trough the whelpingbox on his own.
When all the others where together, Mr. Red was sleeping on the other side of the whelpingbox alone.
When I take him with me we already can see his character a bit.
When he does not like to be picked up at that moment, he really does not like it.
So it was not a surprise to us that mister Red is the first who starts to open his eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~
07-12-2022
Today I already had to cut de puppy’s nails for the second time.
They also start to crawl trough the whole whelpingbox. It is nog going very stable but so great to watch.
Meanwhile Zoë is trying to dress Nero with some of the puppy toys.
~~~~~~~~~~
06-12-2022
1 week old already!
Time is going so fast right now.
This morning 2 puppy’s already doubled their birthweight and most of them are over 1 kilo now.
Ani starts to spend a little bit of time, out of the whelpingbox now and then. Last night she tought it was a goog idea to take some sleep on my bed, what is standing next to the whelpingbox.
For her it is great to be out of the whelpingbox for a while, but for me it was not really comfortable 😉
But that it what is is when you have puppy’s.
Some of our gorgeous boys are still available for the very best homes.
If you want more information, please contact me.
~~~~~~~~~~
05-12-2022
This morning we had our first puppy going over 1 kilo weight. Mr. Light Blue is the winner 😉
The lightest puppy now is 740 gram, but he is strong and growing very well!
~~~~~~~~~~

03-12-2022
With our puppy’s we follow the puppy culture program from Jane Killion.
Puppy Culture is a socialization and training program specifically developed for puppies from birth through the end of their critical socialization period, with age appropriate protocols and lessons laid out in an organized format .Puppy Culture is based on the premise that the puppy always leads the learning, and puppies learn best by appropriate experiences at the appropriate time. So what we are doing is observe the puppy, and, based on the behavioral markers we see, serve the puppy the experience or lesson that is optimal for him at that moment in time.
Today we started with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) with the puppy’s.
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), which involves applying gentle stressors to a very young animal for short periods of time, is thought to improve their stress responses later in life.
In the movie below you get more info about ENS.

Ani and her puppies are doing great!
Ani takes really good care of them, and all puppies gained weight after their birth.
For now all they do is sleep, eat and repeat.
For us it is very important that mother and puppies are getting the rest they need.
We don’t allow visitors for the first 3 weeks. And all our attention is going to Ani and het puppies.

Almost everything is ready.
We put up the whelping box, but for now that is the favourite place for Mia and Dolce ;-).
From now we try not the let Ani be alone for longer then necessary.

We also noticed she needs her food on time, otherwise she does not feel very well.
So we give her food on strict time, and altough Ani think is is not enough food, we don’t give her much more yet, because we don’t want her to be too fat with the delivery.

The female is in the first trimester of her pregnancy and does not require any special attention.
She can have as much activity as she likes.
At the moment Ani is pretty lazy. Her favourite place at the moment is the on the sofa, sleeping under a blanker.
Altought it does not say anything, Ani thinks she is very pregnant, and needs to rest the whole day 😉
Lucky for her I was not feeling well myself, so she could be a bit more lazy those days.

After another mating yesterday morning, we arrived back home yesterday evening.
Ani was very tired and is sleeping a lot at the moment. She had some busey days 😉
On this newspage we will update you about what should be happening with the puppies in Ani her belly (if they are there ofcourse) using a pregnancy calender.
Also for us the time of preparing and checking everyhing will start, altough we don’t know if the mating was succesfull yet, we will try to update our website as much as we so you can follow this adventure.
Pregnancy Calender:
Monday 3 October
Sperm released during the first mating reach the oocytes
in oviducts which connect ovaries and uterus.
Sunday 2 October
Cleaned sperm travel and look for oocyt that can be fertilised
Saturday 1 October
First mating. The bitch has the ovulation (release of oocytes).
The mating date is not the same as fertilisation date. The oocyt matures after being realeased and can be fertilised in 2 days. Sperm also needs to mature for 6-10 hours after mating and are cleaned from biologically active substances present on the surface.
After this time sperm can fertilise oocytes durting next 4-6 days. The difference between mating and fertilisation date can thus be between 1-6 days depending on time of ovulation.

This weekend it was time for the date between Romeo and Ani!
Again we made a trip to Czech.
For Zoë it was strange she had to stay at home this weekend, but Ani
enjoyed all the attention for herself to the fullest.
After a very long drive on Friday, the mating between Romeo and Ani was this weekend.
Everything went very fine, and they liked eachother a lot (of course 😉 ).
And now we can only keep our fingers crossed for a bunch of lovely, sweet and healthy puppies.
We still have some places available on the waitinglist, for a puppy from this combination.
When you are interested, you can always contact us for more info.

Zoë and I entered a lot of dogshows this year and made some beautiful trips for those shows.
Now it is time for a showbreak and all our attention will go the Ani her upcoming litter.
I hoped to finish Zoë her Slovenian championship (1 more CAC needed), this year, but because Ani started her heat earlier then we expected, we will try this again in spring next year.
Zoë and me are training very hard for the show, and we have so much fun together when we enter the ring. That is the most important, but I am very proud of all the results Zoë and I got last year.
She is only 17 months old and we already achieved so much together.
And because of that I put them in a list.
This year Zoë enterd 25 shows in Junior or Intermediate class and gainded so far:
8x 1st place Excellent
4x 2nd place Excellent
5x 3rd place Excellent
2x Excellent without placement
1x 3rd place Very Good
1x 4th place Very Good
3x Very Good without placement
1x Good
6x Best of Breed Junior
6x Best Bitch
4x Best of Opposite Sex
2x Best of Breed
2x Best Junior in Group 6
1x 2nd place Group 6
1x 3rd plave Group 6
Zoë got already got different CAC’s and Reserve CAC’s but next to that she also got her first CACIB at the age of 15 months.
And when I am bragging about Zoë…. She got this year these titles:
Slovenian Junior Champion 2022
Belgium Junior Champion 2022
Best Female BRRC Clubshow 2022
Spring Karst Winner 2022
But next to those beautiful prizes the most important is that Zoë is a wonderful familydog at home.
I enjoy her every single day. She is very interested, loves to work and always happy. She can be so naughty, but most of the times in a very funny way.
I really hope her half brothers and sisters will get the same wonderful character.

28-09-2022
This weekend we have been to Czech for the 30th anniversary of the CKRR Rhodesian Ridgeback Club.
From Friday evening untill Sunday afternoon we had a weekend full of seminars, good food, 2 show and a being together with ridgeback friends from so many country’s.
We really had a wonderful weekend!
Next to the shows and seminars, there also was the possibility to do the genetic tests for you dog.
We directly used this posibility and took a swab from Zoë.
For most of the genetic test we know Zoë is free by parantage, but she is also tested for the EOAD gen.
We know she can be carrier for that. Ofcourse that will not be a problem for our future (breeding)plans, but we really like to know if she is carrierr or free.
I hope to receive the results soon.
And ofcourse we have some showresult.

Day 2: Very Good
Both judges really made a beautiful report for Zoë. You can read it here.
But beacause of her size both judges deceided to award her with a very good.
I am super happy with the reports and specially the words that she is presented very well.
Every day we try the make it more perfect, and it is so cool when that comes out in the showring.
Denise and Esther also asked me to show their lovely Juna (C’huma K’akilah Juna Gaudiwa Musana) again. It is so nice to see that Juna trusts me more and more every time and we grow together in the ring.
Juna achieved an Excellent both days.
Juna and I also were asked to take part in the progeny group of her father.
I never did this before and it was great to be part of it.
And even more great that our progenygroup became 1st!

It was time for the yearly Championship Clubmatch from the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club Netherlands.
This THE show of our own breedclub, so we always try to be there.
Zoë and Meneer Janssen both where entered today.
But unfortunally the wheater combined with Zoë her heat, made us do some changes.
Because of the really bad wheater the show was moved to a small indoor area.
Zoë started her heat last week and that made us deceided not to bring her to the show.
We don’t think that is nice for all the males at the show. But also not for Zoë who will be followed everywhere.
But Meneer Janssen was present, and he and Ilona trained so hard last month!!
Janssen was stacked really perfect, and moving around the ring, almost went perfect.
Unless Janssen got a really really nice report, the judge qualified him with a Very Good this time, because of his hight.
Next time better luck! It was a nice training for Janssen and Ilona.
And altough I did not a bring a dog to show myself, I was lucky, that I totally unexpected was asked to show Esther and Denise’s sweet girl Juna.
I did not plan to show a dog today, I did not take any special clothes with me, and entered the ring in my comfy jeans and shirt. But that did not matter!
Juna achieved a wonderfull 2nd place with Excellent in a very big intermediate class!!
Instead of Zoë our “granny” Dolce, joined us today.
Dolce loves to cuddle with everyone, and is the best in clean all the pockets. I think she really had a great day today, and got so many treats.
And even on her age you can find yourself a new love, Daka her veteran friend

Last week we did not go to any dogshow, but enjoyed our time at home.
We have been busey witht the renovation of our farmhouse, whe we finally can live again with the dogs after two years.
We have also worked on our puppypalace, because the preparations have started.
We expect that Ani will start her heat somewhere in October, so that is coming closer really soon.
With the preparations we also take a new look at the cost of raising a litter, and as everything in live, these cost really went high.
Unfortunately that means we also have to increase the price for a puppy from our upcoming litter. You can read more about it, on our page “A puppy from us”.
With Zoë I started scent detection training again, and she is doing really great. Zoë is a dog who really loves to work with me. No matter if it is for showtraing or scent detection, as long as she got the attention, and she can show her skills she is happy.
For September we have several dogshows planned. Zoë and I will go back to Slovenia to see if can win some more championship points. We have a showweekend planned in Tsjech, where we can aslo see Romeo (the father of our upcoming litter) again. And of course we will not miss our own Championship Clubmatch of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club Netherlands.
And then we are at the end of the September month already, and in October we will focus more and more at Ani and het Upcoming litter.
She enjoy life to the fullest, but the hot summerdays
are not always easy for her.

We have been on a wonderfull holiday with Ani and Zoë in Slovenia, while Dolce, Mia and Nero had a great time at home with my parents.
We made long wolks in the mountains and visit some nice places.
But also enjoyed the silence and doing nothing in the garden from our appartment.
Ofcourse I like to combine a holiday with a dogshow.
We entered the girls for the 4 CACIB Summer Night Show in Koper.
Zoë was enterded in Intermediate class and Ani was entered in Champion Class.

We did not show Ani at the last two days, because we noticed she lost her happines in the ring.
The show was to busey and crowdy for her. And the happines of our girls is more important then a dogshow!
I am really proud of my girl, but especially Zoë. She just turned 15 months and already earned het first CACIB. 4 days of showing was not easy for her, but she really did wonderfull!

Today was the Junior day of our Rhodesian Ridgeback Club.
All 3 puppies entered this unofficial show. For Zoë and Meneer Janssen was it a good practice.
But I am really proud of Afi and his owners. Afi is not used to shows and his owners never did that before.
They did there very best today! But it was a long wait for Afi, before it was his turn.
All puppies got a nice report (no qualifications at this shows), and for me as a young breeder it was very nice to hear what the judges had to say about the litter.
Dolce was also with us and I think she enjoyed this day the most. All the cuddles and al the treat she got. She just loved it!!
