World Dogshow 2009
Jorna and I went to Bratislava for the World Dogshow with Ijaba, Chikumbi and Jua. We have had a great time, especially enjoying mum and daughters having fun together!
On friday we had the pleasure to see our friends Jana & Alex and daddy Noldor again! It is always fantastic to see Noldor, he is so much fun, since the first time we saw him I absolutely fell in love. I did try to kidnap him (again) but failed ;-) But we have our own piece of Noldor in our house, Chikumbi is just as energetic and fun as her dad.

The girls didn't get placed but still achieved nice results and very good showreports.
WDS: Ijaba Excellent, Chikumbi Excellent (last 10 out of 35)
SKCHR clubshow: Ijaba Excellent, Chikumbi Very Good
World Speciality show: Ijaba Excellent, Chikumbi Excellent

Luxembourg show

                     Beaudor                  Chikumbi                                  Ijaba                          Jua

This weekend we attended the Int. dogshow Luxembourg with 4 Mafinga's and not without results...

Ijaba won the big and strong Champion class and achieved her Luxembourg Ch. title. She is now Multi Champion! We are so proud of our girl, it is always a pleasure showing her, she is a real pro and knows exactly what is expected of her.

Chikumbi also did a great job in the ring, making her real show debut in a very strong junior class. She just turned 9 months old 5 days ago, so she was the youngest in het class and made it al the way to being placed 3rd Excellent!

Mafinga Chibvumba Beaudor and his sister Mafinga Chivindi Jua also made their debut in junior class. They did a great job standing, running, having lots of attention and being very relaxed.  But all 3 pups were a bit intimidated with the judge while watching teeth. He was quite rough and not very patient with the unexperienced dogs. So unfortunately he gave Beaudor and Jua no judgement only because he had not seen the teeth long enough.... No matter what we were very proud of them and Jorna and Marja, they did a great job showing them.

All together we went into the mainring for the breedersgroup. Handlers and dogs had a great time, the young dogs were a bit too enthusiastic so no placement but the judge had a smile on her face the whole time ;-)


After a long showday we made a nice walk in the woods so the dogs could release their energy, and man did they play! In the evening we had a nice diner and the next day we ended the weekend with another long walk in the woods before going back home. Ijaba was so excited to play with her pups, they all got along fantastic and were roughhousing like crazy!!!
Thanks to all for this fantastic weekend, see you next time!

Photoshoot Ijaba & Chikumbi
Last week Jorna took some amazing photo's of our 2 girls. Although we went early in the morning, it was still terribly hot in the dunes so there was a lot of "tongue action" ;-) but nevertheless the result is absolutely stunning. Thanks Jorna for these fantastic photo's!!! Check them out here!

Puppy party !
On june 28th we had a puppy reunion with 5 of our C-litter pups and ofcourse their owners. Ijaba and her kids Jua, Beaudor, Kuki, Chombi and Chikumbi were also joined by Jibwa (Kuki's big "sister"). Unfortunately Denis was not able to come with Changwena, because of a small injury, she is just fine now. It was great to see them all together again and they had a wonderful time, playing with eachother and other dogs in the park.  Check out more pics -> here.

Operation Jua

Last week Jua had to undergo an emergency operation to repair an invagination of her bowls. There was no foreign object found so it was just bad luck. Ofcourse we were shocked but the operation was completed without complications and she is now recovering. She is gaining a bit more strenght each day, and her temperature remains normal. To keep her quiet and relaxed for the first week (she is a very energetic bouncy puppy) her "brother"  Bhanu is staying with us. Ijaba & Chikumbi are happy with their big friend visiting. We wish Jorna, Rene and kids a lot of strength during these difficult times, we are very proud of you guys for taking such good care of our little princess, you're the best!

Our girls enjoying the sun

Finally we took some nice pics of our girls again! We are so happy with how they get along, they are best friends, playing constantly and are really sweet together! We enjoy watching them everyday, and absolutely love them to bits! Check out lots of new pics of the girls here!!!

First "showsteps" for baby Mafinga's

Last sunday Chikumbi, Jua & Beaudor participated in their first show in Alkmaar (Babyclass). Our goal was only that they would have a great time, enjoy themselves and get used to the hectic show atmosphere. Well, mission accomplished! They were so relaxed and having fun in and outside the ring, so we are proud of our little ones.

As a bonus our little girl Chikumbi also did a nice job in the ring, she was placed 2nd with a Very Promising and a fantastic report from judge Mrs. de Vries-Hoogland:

Magnificent bitch, beautiful type. Very beautiful feminine head, very alert. Very lovely neck, good strong front. Strong legs and feet. Good topline and tailset. Good ridge, crowns and box. Excellent depth of chest and spring of rib.

2 Very Promising





 

 

Mafinga Chigiya " Shangara"
We went to Marbella Spain for a short holiday. We visited Chigiya a.k.a. Shangara (purple girl) and made some nice walks with her and her RR friend Ramzes. Shangara is doing great, looks fantastic and is still the same happy, enthusiastic and high energy puppy as when she left us! It was special for us to spend some time with her again! We made some nice pictures -> click here!

April 2009

Puppy party!
On the first day of easter we organized a puppy reunion. All the pups joined us except for Chigiya who lives in Marbella.
Both people and dogs really enjoyed themselves, it was so great to see them all together again! Afterwards we had a nice drink at our trainingshal where the dogs could play a bit more and where mom Ijaba educated them in chasing waterbirds...oops ;-) We've had a fantastic day, thanks everybody for coming and taking such good care of "our" puppies! Thanks again to Jorna for most of the great pics.       See more pictures in photoalbum!

October 2008

*** 31st: We received Ijaba's Belgian title, and made a special page with her titels on it. Click here

*** 23rd: Ijaba is PREGNANT!!!!!!!!

Today we made an ultrasound and we saw at least 7 embryo's clearly on the monitor. They are still very small and it is difficult to know for sure how many puppies will be born so we have to be patient and just wait and see ;-) The pups are expected around 2 december.

*** 21st: We are watching Ijaba's every move to figure out if she is pregnant.... We have a good feeling, her behaviour is different, she is really lazy, sleeps a lot, doesn't really enjoy going for walks (after 20 minutes she is tired and drags along after me ) eats like crazy and her bellysize is grown from 56,5 cm to 59,5 cm...... but we made an appointment for the ultrasound this thursday (the 23rd), so then we will know for sure! Very exciting last days...pffff......

*** The photo's of our trip to Tallinn are online. For pics of Ijaba & Noldor click here. For pics of our journey and beautifull Tallinn click here.

*** Ijaba and Noldor mated on 30/9 and 1/10. The matings went very well and will hopefully result in a litter of sweet and healthy little puppies! We will keep our fingers crossed!

September 2008

*** 26th: We arrived in Tallinn, Estonia! Our initial plan was to go with the airplane, but at the last moment it was impossible because KLM had no room in the planes and where unable to help us in time..... So then we just got in the car and drove to Stockholm (15h) and then took the boat to Tallinn (17h). The boattrip was quite good because we left at Stockholm at 6 p.m. and we arrived in Tallinn the next morning. We had a nice cabin and Ijaba was allowed on the boat, restaurant and cabin. We went to bed early and had a good night sleep! Now Ijaba is settled in perfectly in our appartement and we will try mating in a couple of days.

*** 18th: Ijaba started her season today! So exciting times ahead! Monday we will go to the vet for progesterone test and then we will go from there to see when we have to leave for Estonia!

*** So we are back in town! Had a nice time at the RR World Congress, we have met a lot of nice people and  had a wonderful time. After that Martine & Willemijn went to the Danisch clubshow with Ijaba & Jukati. We have had a great time and especially the last day, when the dogs went Lure Coursing (pics will follow).  Ijaba should come into season any moment now and then we have to plan our visit to Noldor in Estonia. Very exciting times!

*** Ijaba also made a new little friend, who wasn't afraid of her typical rough RR play ;-) Check out more great action photo's here!

August 2008

*** 3rd: Ijaba Belgian Champion!!! Great result at the show in Leuven today. Ijaba won CAC, BOS and this was the last point needed for the Belgian championship. Needless to say we are very happy! A huge thanks to Rens & Mariette for giving us such a special girl! She is all we could dream of and much more!

Juli 2008

*** NEW pics Ijaba is really enjoying herself in this hot sunny wheater. She can lie in the piercing sun for ages and then comes inside panting like crazy to cool down a bit..... only to return to her sunny outdoor spot within a couple of minutes.....You wouldn't say they're from Africa right ;-) Check out some nice new pics here!

*** Sunday the 10th of august we will leave for Ireland for 2 weeks. We are going to attend the Rhodesian Ridgeback World Congress! After that we will explore Ireland for a couple of days, and hopefully make some nice walks with Ijaba.

*** Update on the scent tracking: We have had 4 lessons now and Ijaba seems to get the hang of it! We are tracking on human scent which is not easy. We train in the dunes and the dogs have to follow a man-made trail, winding through the small dune paths. She really likes doing it and it is fun to see her work, because she does it exactly the way she is, steady but very accurate!!!

*** Ijaba spent a weekend with her good friend Bhanu. They had a great time! See pics here.
*** Also received some nice headshots of Ijaba, see below. Thanks Jorna for the great pics.

** 13th: Ijaba's birthday today! Many kisses also for all the brothers and sisters of the Vizara L-litter.
