Prefix : MZILAKAZI (Rhodesian Ridgeback)
Mzilakazi have been breeding show champions and family companions since 1985, focused on breeding dogs sound in both body and mind. All our breeding stock are x-rayed for hips and elbows, and also now DNA tested for DM (Degenerative Myelopathy) and JME (Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy), as well as heart-tested.
Lesley's love of Ridgebacks began during her teen years growing up in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and Graeme came on board a few years later, taking to this wonderful breed like a duck to water :-).
Pups are raised in a home environment and are well socialised. They are screened at birth for Dermoid Sinus, which continues until they leave us, and are vaccinated, microchipped and routinely wormed prior to going to their new homes.
Mzilakazi are proud to have bred and owned Best in Show and Runner Up Best in Show (ALL Breeds) winners as well as Best in Specialty Show/Runner Up in Specialty Show winners, but our dogs are foremost our beloved companions.
Puppy buyers are invited to visit us at our home as many times as they'd like before taking home their puppy, and we encourage anyone interested in this breed to call us and have a no-obligation chat.
Lesley is an ANKC registered judge for Toys, Gundogs, Hounds and Non-Sporting groups
