NEWS - MATOBO HILLS Rhodesian Ridgeback Kennel

Time flies so quickly.

I've received lots of great stories and pictures in the last few months, which I've put in the respective litter folder on Facebook. You can look at them all here and enjoy watching the little ones grow.

Mac Bess's babies are now 7 months old and Payton's 5 months. They're all doing well, the initial bumps are over and puberty is already here. ;-)

It's worth checking the puppy book now and then so you don't completely lose sight of where the path is leading.

Perseverance is the motto and everything will be fine in the end. ♥

What else is coming up this year:

The Matobo Hills Boutique is next going to the CACIB trade fair in Offenburg, in May to Dortmund and in August to Helsinki for the World Dog Show. It's going to be a fun trip....

After that, it's the summer break and in the autumn trade fairs we're going back to Mannheim, Dortmund, Karlsruhe and Hanover. Production of the new collections is underway and we can't wait to see what happens.

After all the hustle and bustle, at the end of the year, I will probably use Payton's heat as an opportunity to have her second litter. The father of the future puppies is still being planned and will only be decided shortly before the litter. Mac Bess will probably have her last litter after that. When exactly is not yet known.

So if you are seriously interested in our next litter, please contact me early to avoid "detours" and to secure a permanent place.

For initial contact, you can use the contact form or our email. Or we can meet at one of the trade fairs at my stand. I look forward to a visit.

Used the turn of the year to sort things out, put one or two aches and pains behind them, get rid of old things and make room for new things. Even if not entirely voluntarily for some.

It's amazing what a human-dog life can or has to endure.

I would like to thank all my dear friends and puppy parents again for all the great Christmas cookies and presents. Even the dogs got mail.

And the joy was great... Thank you also dear Isabell and Luna for always thinking of us at Christmas for around 12.5 years. The dogs greet the postman quite energetically when they smell your package. ♥

A few days ago was Kolesha's first death anniversary ♥ and almost at the same time Jurell had gastroenteritis and had to go to the same clinic that I took Kolesha to. Jurell has recovered, which takes a little longer for an older lady. But she's doing well again so far.

Coeur and I were at the trade fair in Münster in mid-January with our great Matobo Hills Boutique team. That's where the beautiful photo at the harbor was taken.

January is now coming to an end and we're looking forward to warmer February. So that we can get outside again.

The feedback from our puppy parents is simply great. I receive lots of great pictures, which I am of course happy to present in the respective album on Facebook and share with others.

A little reminder: make sure that you constantly adjust the amount of food, as written in my puppy booklet. Don't pay attention to the amount in the pack, your dogs don't know that. If you have any questions, please let me know.
