After a little detour over Sara Venturelli in
Italy and many, many telephone calls with
diverse breeders in different countries the
destiny brought us to Austria -
to the Kajumbaīs. 

Fortunately! Because here we found under 12
wonderful puppies "our" Ridgeback!

 
Two weeks later we take our RR-Girl with us
to Germany. We give her the name "Jalia" -
 that means "Happyend" in Swahili. Ridgebacks
often get african names, because the origin of
this breed is in South Africa. 
 
The first evening with a new companion... Jan is
very carful with his small puppie Jalia.
 
It takes a little time, till we can Jan convince of,
that Ridgebacks even sleep wonderful in Dog-Beds.
 
Now Jalia have another favorite place for sleep.
I think, in a few weeks we drive to IKEA - buy a
new, bigger Couch... ;-)
 
Our Ridgeback never sleeps without a pillow -
maybe that is her special request...
 
"Look, what I can!" Our first visit at the Puppy-
Playground. The first 10 minutes she was very
shy... but only this first 10 minutes...
 
Without comment - they both are tired!  
With Bahari (our big RR-Friend) in the wood.  
Jalia want stay longer with the horses - they have
such a great flavor ;-)
 
Jalia with 4 Month - a real "big" Ridgeback...  
A few Day ago we meet "Lara". She is 11 month
old and can run very fast... With her Jalia jump
into the Lake...
 
..."did anyone say, Ridgebacks donīt like water?"  
We also think, she prefer warm and dry...  
Than we visit Bahari & the Habermanns...   
... where Jalia lay on Baharis Favorite-Pillow...
A little Greeting to Isabell, Anna and Amelie:
We had a lot of fun with you all!
 
Ridgeback in actually Camouflage, or:
a Look on the (Ridge-)Back-Side...
 
We poudly presents: Today Jalia is 5 month
old - great "little Ridgeback" ;-)
 
In December we visit the YeJapha-Kennel.
Peter Obschernicat makes our Jalia "new
thooth" how Jan said. After the Narcosis
Jan was so lovely with his Jalia but he donīt
understand, why Jalia canīt walk
straight on for a little while...
 
Than it was Christmas! I think it was an wonder:
this year all our decoration on the Christmas-tree
is unhurt! 

M E R R Y   C H R I S T M A S - 
and a happy new Year!!!

 
Now she is 7. Month old!   
Our winter was very mild this Year and
therefor Jalia go to swim in February.
Here she is on the way to get
"dry by air" - with Bahari.
 
So, here she is 8 Month old!
No, this is not a picture of last summer - our
grass was so green at 4th March this
Year... Really!
 
Just the right temperature for an long walk at the
wood with Bahari and Isabell. They
both run very, very fast...

Remember:
if your Ridgback is not on the photo (or only a
piece of him) - than your camera is to slow ;-)

 
Than they cool down "Africa-like"
in a small Waterhole... 
 
Play in the Sand is her favorite employment - just
like Janīs! And iīm very happy to have an
Ridgeback and not an Bobtail, because so the
Sand stay in the garden, not in the coat ;-)
 
They both enjoy the first warm
spring-sunshine on the balcony...
 
Jalia on Janīs favorite plaid...
Now she is 11 Month old!
 
Working in the Garden...!  
Time to remeber:

1 Year ago in Austria 12 little Ridgebacks were born.
I remeber the first telephone call with Birgit and the
excitement before we start our first visit in Linz...

... and just the moment, when this beautyful little
girl come up to us....

Congratulation to your 1st Birthday Jalia!
