Rhodesian Ridgeback, Playford SA

We are a select small kennel in South Australia, home to both brown and black nose Ridgebacks. When choosing a Ridgeback as a companion, we believe temperament and soundness are most important. Our breeding program, choice of stud dogs and puppies reflect this importance. We also participate in many various dog related disciplines, including Conformation showing, Obedience, Dances with Dogs and Heelwork to Music. Our "Gatto" was the first RR in South Australia to achieve his Dances with Dogs and Heelwork to Music titles - Grand Ch Mikozi Gracious Villain RN ET DWDF.S HTM.S. We believe bringing puppies into the world is a huge responsibility, and therefore breed only very occasionally. Please feel free to visit our Facebook page (Mikozi Rhodesian Ridgebacks) or contact us with any breed or puppy questions (text or email welcome). We are members of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of South Australia and the Dogs SA (SA Canine Association).

Established in 1998, we are a small, select Kennel located in South Australia combining quality Australian, European and American bloodlines. Breeders of Multiple National Best in Specialty Show, Multiple Best in Specialty Show, Multiple RU Best in Specialty Show and Best in Show winning dogs in Australia and Europe. Only breeding occasionally, we put an enormous amount of research into all our breeding plans, working to introduce a healthy amount of genetic diversity via out-crossing to outstanding examples of the breed from around the world. We breed for type, functionality and soundness, but most of all temperament. Puppies are lovingly reared in our home, and extensively socialised, and introduced at a young age to a wide range of stimuli to maximise their learning and development. Kushika puppies have gone on to excel in many disciplines under the guiding hand of their dedicated owners, such as Obedience, Conformation, Tracking, Track and Search and Endurance, but most importantly they make wonderful, lifelong family companions. For a more comprehensive introduction to our Kennel, please visit our website.

We are a small, family-based kennel where our Rhodesian Ridgebacks are first and foremost cherished family members. Living with us on acreage, they share both our home and our couches, enjoying an active indoor–outdoor lifestyle. Our puppies are raised with 24/7 care, premium nutrition, and plenty of love and early socialisation, giving them the best possible start in life as confident, well-adjusted companions. With over 20 years of experience in the breed, we are dedicated to producing sound, well-balanced Rhodesian Ridgebacks with excellent temperament, correct breed type, and sound health. As active committee members of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of South Australia for over two decades, we remain committed to preserving and promoting this wonderful breed. Our breeding program is carefully planned, with only occasional litters. We actively show our dogs and are proud to have bred and owned multiple Australian Champions, Group winners, and Specialty Show winners, reflecting the consistent quality, soundness, and temperament of our breeding program. Puppies are occasionally available to carefully selected homes.
