Zia
GCH WINE NOT PINOT NOIR OF COURSE CGN NS NTD
Zia is my third Ridgeback and everything I could have ever hoped for in a foundation bitch. On top of having some of my favourite dogs in her pedigree, she is smart, goofy, kind-hearted and a VERY happy girl.
Completing her championship entirely with majors, her multiple BOB’s and group placings under breeder judges had her finish within the Top 10 Ridgebacks in Canada. In 2024, Zia obtained her Grand Championship (always owner handled).
Aside from having fun in the ring, Zia has been the best mamma of two litters, and thoroughly enjoys hiking, camping, and learning a variety of new things. Her favourite sport by far is tracking and I look forward to trialing with her.
Zia simply lives for love and always aims to please. She adores her people as much as she loves her pack and is always up for an adventure.

Kyara
BBPIG MBVIG CH TAMARIDGES REBEL WITH A CAUSE CGN RN RA RE NTD
Her name means “a stunning girl with gorgeous eyes and a contagious smile” and she is exactly that. Kyara has been my constant shadow and without a doubt my heart dog. She would happily walk to the end of the earth for me, as I would for her. She is a no-nonsense bitch and creates a lovely balance throughout the pack. She is incredibly eager to please, very food-driven and an essential part our lives.
Kyara loves to excel at everything she does and has proven herself in every ring she enters; she obtained a Best Baby and Best Puppy in Group in two very large and competitive classes, Best of Breed over some lovely specials and has finished every trial with multiple high in class placements in Rally Novice, Rally Advanced and Rally Excellent. Kyara is currently the #1 Ridgeback in Canada for Rally! This year Kyara and I will be continuing to do everything she loves, including making appearances in the Veteran and Rally rings.

Rhea
LAKIT’S DOUBLE SHOT OF ESPRESSO NS
My first home bred baby and the one who just had to stay. Rhea is a Zia daughter who caught my eye early on. She moves effortlessly and will steal your heart with her big ears and happy tail. Rhea has taken a keen interest in Rally Obedience and nose/scent work, but her favourite sport by far is Sprinters. She lives her life to the fullest and is such a sweet girl.

Gemma
Our Ridgeback Wrangler
Gemma was my very first dog and has taught me so much throughout the years. She is a spicy little thing who holds her own within the pack. It amazes me how much personality she fits inside that little body of hers, and if you’re lucky enough to know her, she will make sure you always feel welcome with her happy howl-filled greetings. Gemma lives for mountain adventures and playing with her pack of ridgebacks.
