We are delighted to announce that Eliza (Ujamaa My Fair Lady) had her puppies on Monday 24 February 2014, to Rocky (Ch Ingwe Mountain High. All puppies were ridged, 1 had a single crown (but also dermoid sinus), 1 has multiple crowns (5!!) and could masquerade as a Thai Ridgeback (joke!!). All other ridges look pretty good
Eliza produced no less than 13 pups, but unfortunately 1 was stillborn, and 1 was lost to dermoid sinus, while a third puppy, tragically, died for no apparent reason on Friday. However, we now have a lovely brood of 10, 5 boys and 5 girls, all doing well. While we have a few littlies (not unexpected in such a large litter with lower birth weights), they are all tough little cookies, and are putting on weight.
Eliza is a great mum, very relaxed and just getting on with the job, so we are very proud of her.
We are of course, happy to answer any questions you may have about living with a ridgeback, but would prefer to do so by phone rather than email, as there are a million things that we could tell you and that just doesn't work in an email :-o) Please feel free to give us a call, and we can help you to decide if the Rhodesian Ridgeback will be the right companion for your family.
