“Thembi” is our first girl and is very eager to please. She has a very sweet disposition. She is also a girl who knows what she wants. Thembi had limited showing but with many group placements including Best Puppy in Specialty and a strong finish to her Championship with two Group 2 placements. She also easily finished her RallyO title in one weekend. She has been a wonderful foundation bitch for us and a wonderful mother.

Not to be outdone by her daughter, Ellie,  Thembi has recently been out herding sheep.  And low and behold, she passed her Herding Instinct Test (HIC).  She seemed to have a great time and had a big smile on her face.

Thembi was starting to slip into the couch potato routine only too well and since we know how important it is for each dog to have their own activity, we found one very well suited to our girl.  She is now a St. John's Ambulance Therapy Dog.  She thoroughly enjoys her weekly visits at a local personal care home and brightens the day of all those she visits.  

She has recently been awarded the title of Versatility Champion (VCH) by the Ridgeback Club of Canada.
