Our first Ridgeback joined us in early 2002 and after co-breeding with Dimond Ridgebacks, we established Maijani in 2006. In 2007 we relocated to a beautiful 10 acre property in the growing area of Longmont, Colorado. Our new home has plenty of room for our Ridgebacks to roam and we are looking forward to enjoying many years in this beautiful location.

Rhodesian Ridgebacks are amazing companions, but they are not the right dog for everyone. They are loyal and loving to their families, but they can be very stubborn and strong-willed. Bringing a Ridgeback into your life is a serious committment and if you are willing to make the accomodations necessary to live with this breed, make sure you do your research. Only purchase from a reputable breeder, NEVER from a puppy store. Ask questions, meet the breed, and then ask more questions!

We are members in good standing of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the United States, the Colorado Rhodesian Ridgeback Club, and the Rocky Mountain Hound Association. Debbie currently serves as the Chair of the RRCUS Ethics Committee and is Vice President of the Colorado Rhodesian Ridgeback Club.

Maijani News:

She just gets better with age... pictured above is our girl Garnet, Ch. Dimond's Regal Gem of Spring Valley, SC, CGC with a placement in the highly competitive 9-11 year-old Veterans class at the 2010 RRCUS National Specialty in Ventura California in September. At the tender age of 9, Garnet strutted her stuff amongst the best of her generation, earning a prestigious placement. She did, however, make it clear that she much prefered laying in the shade watching her grandchildren make their debut in the ring. We are looking forward to showing again at the 2011 National Specialty in Rapid City, SD next fall.

Breeding news:
Dimond, CH. RedSkyes HeartsonFire Dimond Grl, our Garnet daughter owned by RedSkyes Rhodesian Ridgebacks, delivered 7 healthy pups on the 4th of July. Proud dad is CH. Dimond SpringVlly's Ruff Rider. Three pups were delivered naturally, but the 4th pup became stuck and we had to rush Dimond to the vet for an emergency c-section. After a very touch-and-go surgery, the amazing doctors at Powers Emergency Vet were able to save Dimond and the 4 remaining pups. At this time, all of these special puppies have homes waiting for them.
 
Show news:
It will be a quiet spring for us, we'll focus on local shows. Look for us at our "local" show in Longmont the first week of June and we wouldn't miss the supported entry in Colorado Springs!
