Highveld Ridgebacks
| We currently live with 7 special ridgebacks -- Piper, Mopane, Ndza, Zahra, Chura, Tabu and Reign Beau. Khola, our special liver nose boy, will forever live in our hearts. | |

(Arifi Fortune Reigns at Globe X DC Highveld's Machame Zahra, SC RN NAJ CGC)
| Reign Beau is the youngest of our ridgebacks. What a love she is. If she is sleeping she is always curled up with someone, usually Chura. She is having fun being a puppy, but anxiously awaiting her turn to shine in agility and lure coursing like her mother and her favorite 2 aunties (Chura and Tabu). |  |

| Here is the faithful hound. As a puppy I was amazed at her brilliance. She could watch me work with Zahra or Khola and be able to perform the task when I asked her to do it. At one point she was supposed to go to a home to be trained to hunt birds. I have no doubt that she would have been amazing at it, but we were blessed that she stayed with us. She earned her field championship in 3 weekends. She earned her NAJ (novice jumpers with weaves) in Perry (4/11/09). |  |

| If Chura's tail stops wagging you only have to say her name and it starts going again. What a happy girl!. Chura is such a clown. She may end up being our 1st MACH dog. She loves agility -- she does everything I ask of her which is what prevents her from being more successful in the agility ring! To date, Chura has 1 leg towards her NAJ. She has only lure coursed 1 weekend and she is half way to her field championship. Oh, she so loved Zahra's babies. |  |
DC Highveld's Machame Zahra, SC RN NAJ CGC DOB 5-7-03
(Ch Juba Lee's What About Bob, CD X DC Shabani's Highveld Mopane, SC CGC)
| Zahra is our princess. She is our blond bombshell and knows it. Zahra gave us the greatest gift. She taught us how special it is to train with a dog and what a wonderful feeling you get when you really connect. She lacks 2 legs on her NA which would be Highveld's first Versitility Certificate or VC. She had her litter of pups March 2008 with Arifi Fortune Reigns at Globe. She was such a fabulous mother. We thought she would have been more of a premadonna. |  |
FCh Highveld's Ndzalama , RN DOB: 2-18-02
(Ch Rocky Ridge Juma of Indaba X Ch Symetri Highveld's Good Hope, SC)
| Ndza is a passionate soul. When she loves, she loves with her whole being. She loves her family (people included), she loves running and she loves working for Robert. They easily completed her Rally Novice title at the beginning of 2009. |  |
DC Shabani's Highveld Mopane, SC CGC DOB: 2-1-00
(Ch Shabani On A Mission, SC X Ch Pheron's Tambuti Cristeen Tera)
| Mopane trained us. She is so smart and on the too clever side. I know where her granddaughter gets her love for cuddling. Mopane can be independent, but once she decides she needs love, she lets us know. Mopane came to us before we were ready for her. I wish that we had been more wise in our training when we got her because we did waste many of her great talents. |  |
Ch Symetri's Highveld's Good Hope, SC DOB: 3-17-99
(Ch Shabani On A Mission, SC X Symetri's Hid'n Treasure, JC)
| Piper is the reason we have so many ridgebacks. She had us at "woof." She always ruled our house with a firm but gentle paw. She loves everyone and everyone loves her. |  |
