Kayta
Kayta is the daughter of two outstanding parents: INT CH and American DC Howlyn’ Imagine Thant MC FCH CGC HIC ‘Maggie’ and American, Canadian, Finnish Champion Ikimba Tumomak Sheikh, ROM CGC TDI ET TT, ‘Sheikh. ’ Kayta finished her conformation Championship in March of 2009. Her passion is lure coursing and she received her AKC field championship in five trials with four Major wins and a BIF. She then won her ASFA field championship in five trials as well. When she is home she loves to go on bike rides at the beach and to accompany her people rollerblading. She also loves to snuggle on the couch, be with her people, and play with her kids.
Kayta’s daughter, ‘Salome’ Grand Champion Salome of the Highland Rim JC CAT CGC earned her GCh before she turned two years old. Salome is from Kayta’s 2009 Litter with CH K-Tai’s Storm Shadow By Bakari JC TT, ‘Tore’. Kayta’s offspring from her 2010 litter sired by Grand CH Paradigm Aariel’s Undisputed ROM C CGC HIC, ‘Lennox’ are excelling in the show ring and getting started with performance.

Kanzu
Kanzu is the son of ‘Kumba’, CH Of Afrikka’s Kumbyah, JC and ‘Kaysi’, DC Lexus She’s Got Game By Tigris, RN, MC, GCG, HIC. He is the grandson of the accomplished and well-known conformation and stud dog ‘Kobe’ MBISS CH Tigris Nothing But Net From Masai, RN, SC, NA, NAJ, NAP, HIT, CGC, ROM. Kanzu finished his Conformation championship handled by one of his co-owners/breeder, Mike Patterson with 3 Majors including back-to-back Best of Winners at the Indio, CA shows in January 2009. He won his field championships in AKC and ASFA lure coursing in 2009 to earn his Dual Championship. He has excelled in lure coursing and racing with Top 10 National placements in Lure Coursing in 2009, and Straight Racing and Oval Racing in 2010. He is currently ranked in the top ten in agility and is near his agility championship which will make him the second ever Rhodesian Ridgeback Triple Champion and the first RR Triple Champion Dog. He has also earned the Versatility Certificate from the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the US (RRCUS) for his many accomplishments.
Kanzu is an amazingly sweet boy with a strikingly even temperament. He is quite a momma’s boy and a great companion and snuggler. He is quite a character and a social boy who likes to show off his many tricks including ‘talking’. He is known for having many special human and K-9 friends who wait eagerly to greet him at the many events he attends regularly. He is a big puppy in many ways but also has a quiet confidence about him. He is a very quiet, almost silent dog who alerts only when truly necessary. He is also more of a worker than most Ridgebacks allowing for a lot more drill than the breed is known for, a great trait for a performance dog.
Recently, Kanzu has taken a break from Conformation, Lure Coursing and Racing pending the completion of his Agility Championship. But in two weekends of conformation, he earned 15 of the 25 points needed toward his Grand Championship with 2 of the 3 majors needed. Our future plans include a return to the show ring and we also plan to build on Kanzu’s stellar Rally career and work toward his CD. We also plan to fit in some time to earn a therapy dog designation to share some of his sweet and healing traits.

The Kanzu x Tailor puppies are now 6 weeks old. As can be seen in the photos, they have grown and changed rapidly. They now look like real dogs and their hearing and sight are more fully developed. They are able to move more rapidly and gracefully. This is also a critical period for socialization. According to Rutherford and Neil in “How to Raise a Puppy” during this period “…the pup must receive attention from people. The kinds of experiences that a puppy has during this period have a very strong effect on how he will react emotionally to humans when he is an adult.” The puppies continue to get lots of human attention daily with Jane and Cory spending large amounts of time handling and playing with the new puppies to prepare them to be loving companions for their new human families. In fact just this week, their new human families have begun to visit and meet the puppies bringing ever expanding experiences with new humans.

The puppies have turned 4.5 weeks. This is the middle of the first stage of socialization where the puppies are becoming more aware of the world around them. According to Rutherford and Neil in “How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With” at 4-5 weeks the puppies are using their legs well but tires easily. This could be seen when we tried to take the 4.5 week photos. Many of the puppies could not hold their heads up they were so tired from the stimulation of the new toys. During this period they begin to chase one another and play prey-killing games. A great example of this was the puppy who straddled the lion during our photo session. From about 22-28 days it is easy for the puppies to be over-stimulated so doggie mom, Tailor and human parents Jane and Cory are spending as much time as possible with the puppies to make sure they know they are safe and secure in their new world. More toys are being introduced and the whelping box has been expanded to include a small step down to a “potty area”. The puppies are praised for going potty in this designated area. In short, we are creating an environment and tasks to stimulate the puppies and to give them opportunities to succeed physically, mentally and emotionally. This physical and mental conditioning will go a long way in maximizing the genetic potential of the litter. For photos of puppies at this age Click Here
The puppies are now 3 weeks old. They are moving about more and walking more both forward and backward. Trying to take photos is now tough as they can dart away faster than we can follow with the camera. They are very interested in their littermates and paw and chew on each other and seek out their littermates for play and for snuggles. Their vocalizations are now more specialized. They have little barks and they certainly cry when they are away from their littermates for more than a few minutes. But, they are easily calmed when picked up and snuggled. They clearly have a rich dream life and it is amusing to watch them moving and vocalizing during their sleep. Jane (Tailor’s human mom) is doing an early neurological stimulation program and beginning early clicker training. Tailor is still being a good sport and feeding but she is now spending more time away from the pups. But, don’t let that fool you, she is still very protective and seems to count all the puppies when she returns. She isn’t taking any chances that we have taken one of her precious babies.
