Maijani Rhodesian Ridgebacks co-bred a litter that was born on November 20, 2007 in Marlton, New Jersey. The proud parents are Dimond's Bella Rosemarie (aka "Bella") and Dimond Spring Vlly's Ruff Act to Follow (aka "Carson"). 

This litter produced11 healthy puppies, 6 boys and 5 girls including two Black and Tan puppies. While Black and Tan puppies are fairly rare in the breed, they do sometimes occur so a Doberman did not visit Bella unbeknownst to us! Black and Tan is considered "non-standard" coloring as it does not conform to the breed standard so these puppies are placed on spay/neuter contracts with limited registrations.
