Two days ago I received a message that "Kanzi" has left us forever.
My heart is heavy and our thoughts go out to her owners
Jecqueline and Marco, who loved her so much and finally had to
made the hardest decision.
She will be sorely missed by all of us, rest in peace sweet girl!

A lot has happened during the past weeks, here come our most important
news in a nutshell:
"Bhanu" BISS HillValley´s African Bhanu Zulu won the Coursing at Gelsenkirchen/D on 16 May. Twice as nice for owners Silvia and Christian:
the second place stays in the family, since their other boy
"Bheko" Corleo´s Cobheko Bean got it ;o)!

"Ani" BISS EW´08 Multi Ch HillValley´s Angel for Luanda has been
extremely successful once more. She receveid another three CC´s on
08.-10.May ... just one week after she was honoured to be awarded the title
***Slovakian Grand Champion***
She is the first Livernose-Ridgeback to carry this prestigious title.
Provided I counted correctly she has amassed no less than 35 CC´s
to date ... wow!
Owner Milada Krchnavá, Luanda Kennels, was also happy to receive two
new Juniorchampion-titles for her offspring out of Ani!

Recently lovely Carina, Chrstian and "Lisa" HillValley´s Assegai Fire
paid us a visit. We had a great time and enjoyed each others company,
here comes a snapshot from our trip to the "Wehyerer Weinpanorma"

And last but not least a lovely picture I received from the owner of
"Paula" HillValley´s Arctic Blue. It shows Paula and her best buddy
"Dinoso".
Thank you, Dietmar!

Yesterday was a black day for us ...
since Monday we knew our upcoming C-litter would consist of only one
puppy, but it seems Mother Nature didn´t even grudge us that little
bitch pup, when she was stillborn on 19th March. We are very, very sad,
since this little angel would have been Diva´s successor - a correct
livernosed girl, which we would have named "HillValley´s Crown Jewel".
Rest in peace, little angel ...
This was Diva´s last litter.
Thank you very much to everyone, who has been thinking of us or called.
Please give me a couple of days.

Amazing success for Bhanu´s sister
Ani BISS EW´08 Multi Ch HillValley´s Angel for Luanda! Over the past
weekend at the dual international show in Brno/CZ she received the following honours:
2 x CAC and 2 x CACIB,
qualification for 
2010,
and on sunday she went all the way to BOB and BIG-2!
But the icing on the cake was that these elsusive points make her now a
***Grandchampion of Czech Rep.*** !
She is the first livernosed Ridgeback to be awarded this title.
It is truly extraordinary to see what Ani and owner Milada have achieved
so far and I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the both
of you. Thank you for flying our flag so high. Milada Luanda Kennels/SK
also saw her offspring from Ani winning two awards that weekend.
What more could you ask for ;o) ?!
Amazing Ani!

We´re back from our mating-trip to Sweden and had a great time at
Eva´s and her family, thank you very much! As everyone knows,
travelling is not only fun, but also educational ... this time I learned
that "up north" fish or for example tomatoes & mozzarella cheese
can be packed in squeezing tubes ;o).
"Diva" Int D Ch VDH-EW´04 Ozrhode Wild Inspiration was mated to
"Hero" S N Ch Rex Ventors Hero to Evergrace on 15th and 16th January.
We hope Diva to be in whelp and would be expecting pups around
17th March. Further information on the parents to be of our C-litter
can be found either in the menu left or here.

requirements for breeding.
