Winner on Inanda Blue Bird Farm in Hekpoort.

He's a litter brother to my Waris, and a seriously nice little boy.

Thank you Leon for the lovely pics.

From Rinus Kant in Holland.

I am so so pleased that he and Enzi are doing this ❤️

"Today, we finished another part of Enzi's (v.m. Inanda Mellberg Quentin C Aka Opie) practical tracking training with success!

In recent months we have conducted training in various areas, including a residential area in the municipality of Lisse and under various circumstances.

Today, she had to walk an old trail for an hour and a half. What she did very well.

After the holidays, we will resume training with Enzi, educating her for 'practical tracking'."

A few weeks ago I decided to try Nose-Work with Stanza.

She is very high-energy, and also quite highly strung.

I organised an Introduction to Nose-Work earlier this year, but because of puppies in the house I was unfortunately unable to attend ... however, better late than never.

Today we had our second lesson with wonderful Leigh Roos from Sniff SA, and much to my surprise, Stanza is quite good.

Plus ... we both enjoy it tremendously.

I can see us doing a lot more of this, as well as tracking and, in due course, man-trailing.

P. S. So far Leigh is doing the work, but I have a feeling this will change in the next week or two.

My darling OAP.

Inanda Mellberg Nimla by Bolt.

By Excalibur Bolt ex Inanda Mellberg Shantih by Jukati.

On her sire's side she goes back to my very first registered Rhodesian Ridgeback, Praidas Salut, who sired a litter of puppies at Excalibur.

Nimla will be 10 in January 2026.

Fed raw from Pin Oaks all her life, and has never been sick.

What a wonderful life for a Rhodesian Ridgeback.

I have been feeding raw for well over 20 years now, and since December '14 (when I came back to South Africa), I have bought it from Pin Oaks in Mnandi.

Based on Dr Billinghurst's recipe, it is locally made (it takes me about 20 minutes to drive there), from local ingredients, and contains a number of different proteins.

I do add raw fish once a week.

I also wean my puppies on raw, the same food my adult dogs get, and my vet doesn't like me ... my dogs are just never sick 😷

Pin Oaks raw food is available directly from them, but also from a number of outlets in the Greater Johannesburg and Pretoria areas.

And, they deliver.

Winner's sister, my Waris, exhausted after a day of romping with her five relatives ... though it has to be said that her favourite playmates are cousin Vanja and mom Stanza.

And speaking of Stanza ... no pics, but she and I are just back from an hour's one-on-one Nose-Work with Sniff SA and Leigh Roos .

Absolutely fabulous!!!

I do have friends, and colleagues, who know how much their dogs cost them.

I don't.

If I did, I'd have to give them up.

However, what I DO know is that feeding raw (for 25 years) has done away with any vet costs not related to accidents or health/breeding tests and issues (X-rays and genetics tests).

I saw them at the vet's, two weeks ago, when they were being checked, inoculated and micro-chipped, and today I went to see them again, at Bridgevale Rhodesian Ridgeback

13 gorgeous puppies by Inanda Mellberg Ranston ex Bridgevale Aurora.

All ridged, no DS, very little excessive white, and fabulous temperaments.

I am so so happy and proud ❤️

Dia, Inanda Mellberg Quaraa Hadiya C, was never meant to stay with us, but she was whelped in 2020, and so is a COVID/lockdown dog.

And ... I really am so so happy she stayed.

She's by Clachan Boyaid (Renga) ex Inanda Mellberg Shanti by Jukati, and I am hoping to have a litter from her in the second quarter of next year.
