Dana has had an impressive show career, with many BOBs , not easy for a young bitch to win in our breed.
Most impressive of these was
* BOB Adelaide Royal 1996 with 40+ entries.
* BOB ACT Ladies KC 1996 under Dorothy Grayson-Wood(UK).

In October 98 at the RRCNSW Championship Show Dana was placed 2nd in Australian Bred Bitch class and  Best Headed Bitch in Show under UK judge Robin Searle.

 

 

Ravvar Cor Aldebaran  ~Tihson~

8th November 1993 - May 2004

Sire: Ch Amashutu Adalard

Dam: Ch Ravvar Red Cor Caroli

Tihson was one good looking ridgeback, but unfortunately he grew to almost 29" at the shoulder and had been desexed since he was 18 months.

Tihson had a wonderful gentle and clownish nature and we could never part with him even though he had no show career.

Ebony

18th February 1985 - 4th September 2001

Our big, black, angus cow, who came to us as an orphan, smaller than a ridgeback. Our Kali was a "mother" to her, and she knew each and every one of our RRs. Ebony  preferred the company of her human and canine family to that of the  other cows. A landmark in the paddock who is sadly missed.
