Your Breeder
ABOUT US
My name is Alexandra Erb, and my love for animals began in childhood.
Horses, dogs, and many other small animals captivated me. So it was no "wonder" that they are still my great love to this day.
While gaining experience with various breeds, I became completely devoted to the Rhodesian Ridgeback. To this day, I can't imagine owning any other breed. ♥
"Dogs have one goal in life: to give us their hearts."
J. R. Ackerley
In 2007, my first dog, Chima-Lee, came to me from the Victoria Falls Kennel, followed in 2008 by the lovely Doya Vizuri from the Shangani Kennel.
Both girls became my foundation bitches at Matobo Hills Kennel. A dream began...
Puppies from Matobo Hills Kennel are born into my care, and I personally oversee their entire rearing period. In a calm and relaxed environment, the expectant mother can give birth to her puppies, either surrounded by her loved ones or in a more secluded setting, as she prefers.
With all my knowledge, skill, and passion, I care for the mother dog and her puppies 24/7. Even after the 4th or 5th week, they are never put in a garden shed or locked away. With all its advantages and disadvantages, I love waking up next to them every morning.
It's important to have close contact with them; this is the only way I envision the proper upbringing of my Matobo Hills puppies. They are not anthropomorphized, but are always prepared for a wonderful life with their new human family members.
Every puppy born here is very dear to me. Therefore, I also want to share in the good and bad times of their lives. Sometimes it's hard not to get too involved. But that, too, has been part of being a breeder for almost 20 years.
