PUPPIES

Our Priorities

Rhodesian Ridgebacks bred under the Shelridge kennel prefix are chosen with the number one priority of exceptional temperaments of course the selected dogs must also conform to the breed standard. We are of the opinion that no matter how handsome a dogs looks unless it has a trustworthy temperament it is worthless to any breeding program.
Hence we breed for the combination of beauty and brains. All our current breeding stock is hip and elbow scored before being bred. We breed for quality show/breeding stock not quantity.

It is our preference to place our puppies into loving caring environments whether shown or not. If a puppy is bought from us purely as a loving pet we require a desexing undertaking with the purchaser.

We are proud of the Rhodesian Ridgebacks we have bred and stand behind our stock giving help, advise and support. Many of our first time puppy owners have come back to us for their second Rhodesian Ridgeback which we believe speaks enormously for our kennels reputation. Shelridge dogs are the parentage behind several successful show/breeding Rhodesian Ridgeback stock here in Australia and Overseas.

“Kimba” is arguably one of the best male Rhodesian Ridgebacks in the country. He was awarded BIS at the prestigious 2004 National Rhodesian Ridgeback Championship Show by breed specialist Mrs D Grayson (UK).

His numerous show accolades include BIS, BISS, RUBIS, RUBISS, BIG, RUBIG to name only a few. “Kimba’s” temperament is superb and one could not ask for any better than the one he possess. He is much loved by his rightfully proud owners the “Wardlaw-Kelly” family who live in Hobart, Tasmania.

Currently “Kimba” spends most of his days as a loyal family companion. He occasional appears in the local show ring in Tassie and has won BOB at the Hobart/Launceston Royal Shows several times. “Kimba” is the sire of Grand Champion and several Champion progeny. I thank David and Lisa for allowing us to use the services of such a handsome upstanding Rhodesian Ridgeback.
