We’re delighted to share that our latest Rhodesian Ridgeback litter has arrived safely – eight beautiful puppies from our very special girl, Xola.

Born just over three weeks ago, this litter is made up of five bitches and three boys, and we’re very pleased to say that all are doing well.

This is likely to be our only Rhodesian Ridgeback litter for 2026, so it feels especially meaningful to have it come from Xola. She is a girl we know deeply, trust completely and feel enormously proud of. This is her second litter, and watching her settle into motherhood again has been nothing short of a privilege.

Xola has been a real dream to observe.

Attentive, calm, steady and beautifully balanced, she tends to her puppies with such natural confidence. There is no unnecessary over-protectiveness, no fuss, no drama – just quiet instinct and a wonderful steadiness that says a great deal about her nature.

Having now bred through six generations of our own line, I do not say this lightly: Xola stands out.

Every breeder will have dogs that leave a particular mark on them, and Xola is certainly one of those. She carries so much of what we value in the breed – strength without hardness, confidence without sharpness, and that lovely Ridgeback quality of being both independent and deeply connected.

The sire of the litter is Zeus, owned by Jackie at Zejak Rhodesian Ridgebacks, a good friend and someone whose dogs have played such an important part in our own Ridgeback story over the years. That connection matters to us. Good breeding is not just about names on a pedigree – it is about knowing the dogs, knowing the lines, and caring deeply about what each pairing may produce.

As always, these puppies are being raised in the heart of our home, with daily care, handling and observation. Over the coming weeks, their characters will begin to show more clearly – the bold ones, the quieter thinkers, the softer souls, the little explorers. That is one of the reasons we do not place puppies simply by colour, markings or first impressions.

A Rhodesian Ridgeback is a powerful, intelligent and loyal breed. In the right home, they are extraordinary companions – affectionate, athletic, soulful and deeply bonded to their people. But the right home matters, and so does the right match.

Our puppies will be ready to leave for their new homes from 8 weeks of age. They will leave with endorsed KC paperwork, pedigree documents, a puppy pack, and the reassurance of our ongoing support. Each litter also has a dedicated 24/7 WhatsApp support group, giving new owners advice, shared experience and guidance as their puppy settles into family life.

We do have limited availability within this litter, but placements will only be made to homes we feel are genuinely suitable for the breed and for the individual puppy.

If you are considering welcoming a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy into your life, and feel you can offer the right home, we would love to hear from you.

Please get in touch, introduce yourselves, and tell us a little about your family, your experience with dogs, and the kind of home one of Xola’s puppies would be joining.
