GCH MANZANITA'S TRIFECTA, SC   "JAX"  x  CH KENGALI'S CARIBBEAN SOUL   "SACHI"



Charm is a great big hunka hunka burnin' love and is a real Charmer!  He started his show career out with a "BANG" at just 3 1/2 months old, winning Best in Show Puppy and Best in Show Bred By Exhibitor at the International Dog Shows in Orlando in October 2011!  He has grown into a stunning dog and between his great good looks and awesome temperment....everybody who meets him wants to take him home!  SUCH a sweetheart, an "old soul" at heart, yet the puppy antics are there, as well!  He loves the water and chasing birds on the beach is one of his favorite pastimes!  He's too darned smart for his own good...even figured out how to "climb" our persimmon tree and strip it of all it's fruit last fall!

Bono joined our pack in July 2015 and quickly wormed his way into all of our hearts and is an excellent addition to our gang!   He is such a love muffin!!  He did what every other growing pup does here....quickly made for Strider to make friends and to have him to snuggle up to!  He has quickly adjusted to life on the farm and spends hours each day romping around with his buddies exploring and sadly, wreaking havoc on the gardens.  He began his show career at 7 mos. with a bang during Eukanuba week in December with 3 Reserves and 1 win in 4 shows!   He finished his Championship in style in June at 13 months of age and then went on to achieve his Grand Championship.  He finished his International Championship in October, winning Best In Show Bred By Exhibitor!  So thrilled for this young boy!!

Oberon is our handsome LIVERNOSE boy...a TRUE lovernose!!! He is truly a hunka hunka burnin' love!  He decided early on that he wasn't leaving here, that this was his home for life...and so it was.  He's been a terrific pup - doesn't get into trouble, house trained easily, plays well with others...and is NOT a counter surfer.  Yet, anyways!!  Oberon started his show career in spring, 2017, and with limited showing earned his Championship in May 2018 and quickly went on to earn his Grand Champion title!  LOTS of adventures ahead with him!!

Our newest Champion!  Huey finished his championship with a third major win on October 26th in Plant City!   He is our sweet lovable big boy who is co-owned and loved by Doug and Jan Pope here in Florida.  Named after Doug's beloved helicopter that he  used to fly back in Vietnam, Huey has become his boon companion and support dog.  Doug finally agreed he could part with him long enough to show him and he hit the show ring with a BANG!  Finishing in just three weekends of shows, we couldn't be more thrilled!  He loves working with our handler, Arvind deBraganca, and we hope to be announcing his GRAND championship before year's end!  He is a very affectionate, playful guy who makes himself right at home when visiting here on the farm.

Ygritte is our lovely girl from Sachi and Manny's litter and is a true delight!  She is a very active, outgoing girl who never fails to amuse me!  She has totally lived up to the great expectations I had for her, easily finishing her Championship from the Bred By Classes. She also has earned her Herding Instinct certificate, showing promise that she, too, can be a great farm dog. In November 2014, she earned her International Champion title, garnering 2 Group 1s and 1 Group 2 and 3 Best Bred By Exhibitor Group 1s.  So excited to announce Ygritte earned her Grand Championship, finishing in style with 5 major wins, including back to back 4 pt majors in Brooksville. Unlike a lot of Ridgebacks, she LOVES the water and not only likes both fresh water and the ocean, she is a pretty darn awesome retriever, too!  As long as the sticks are thrown in the water, that is!!

Nymeria is a gorgeous, sweet daughter of Charm and Deja, who loves to spend her days out romping all over the farm.  Alas...a show dog she is not!  HATES it!  That's okay...she's much happier here on the farm chasing squirrels and lizards and loves to spend time swimming in the pond, even if it's not a hot summer day!  She's an excellent watch dog, quick to let me know when someone is here.  She loves to meet new people and is quick to tell folks she wants more hugs and pets.  Another total love, without doubt!

Hetty is our joyful little girl who is the best combination of both her parents!  She is bold and outgoing and growing into a real beauty.  She started her show training early on, and in her very first show in Perry, GA, won Winner's Bitch!  She has her mother's powerful movement and her daddy's fierce competitive spirit.  Here on the farm, she and her buddies spend endless hours seeking out new things to get into, much to my dismay!  Let's see.  Two blueberry bushes....destroyed!  One gorgeous rose plant, un potted....hopefully will survive!  Plastic flower pots....too numerous to count... destroyed!  Yep!  You get the picture!  Ah, gotta love the youngsters!  This, too, shall pass ....just like teenagers!!  I'm sure we have many adventures ahead of us!!

Duma is our little powerhouse from Tori & Jethro and is an amazing little girl!  In her first show, she won 3rd place in a very competitive class at our National Specialty show in September 2015. Her 2nd time in the ring, at our Regional Specialty in Orlando in December, she won Best of Opposite in Sweeps and was Reserve Winners to a 4 pt major.  She topped that off the next day, showing at the Eukanuba National Championship show and brought home her first win - a 4 point major, Best of Winners and Best Bred by Exhibitor!  I am beyond thrilled and in awe of this beautiful pup!  Like her mother, she is sassy, but sweet, obedient, but an instigator for causing trouble - let's NOT talk about my plants!!! and a beautiful, beautiful girl.  She was back in the ring in the Spring 2016, and quickly finished her championship in September 2016 with her 4th Major win.

GCH KENGALI'S CAPTAIN'S LAST COMMAND x GCH AARIEL'S WINTER IS COMING TO KENGALI
 
 
Reine Marie is our beautiful Legend/Arya daughter and is my joy!  She is a happy, happy soul who spends endless hours entertaining herself hunting lizards and moles all around the farm.  Endless hours!  There are a ton of holes to prove her ability in tracking those underground devils!  Unfortunately, some of my plants get in her way.  Deep sigh.  She and her buddies would much rather spend their days out romping thru the water and woods. Did I mention the endless hours of hunting?  Yes.  Endless!  Needless to say she is very fit!  Unfortunately this also affects her love of showing!  Which she HATES!  She goes off on the show road with her Uncle Arvind who is determined to get her finished....and we both get the Stink Eye from her and looks of utter contempt for making her do this!  And YES!  I have spoiled her rotten and that hasn't helped!  Oh, well! 
C'est la vie!!!  Soon she WILL earn her Championship and as I have promised, never have to do it again!

CH KENGALI'S UNBRIDLED CHARM x TERRA CHRISTA'S KHALEESI DRAGON BY KENGALI
 
Stormborn, indeed!  Khaleesi and her littermates arrived during the weekend of Hurricane Irma.  All the rush of battening down the hatches, getting supplies in and praying the pups would arrive before the storm!  They made it, just in the nick of time!  Then we were powerless for 8 days, no water, no lights, no a/c.  GREAT FUN!  Still - by the Grace of God and the help of awesome friends - we all survived!  Needless to say, Khaleesi has been a spoiled child and is truly a Momma's girl!  Her head is next to mine on my pillow every night!  She is a lovely girl who would much rather be at home, romping around the farm, hunting lizards and moles with her buddies.  She has the sweetest temperament, just like both of her parents and did I say she's spoiled rotten?  NOT SORRY!

BRIENNE!!! When my friend, Carol, called me to ask if I'd like to co-own one of Zendaya's pups with her, the answer was easy!!  YES!!!  Her momma is a Charm daughter from Carol's girl, Summer, and Bono is her daddy....this was a match made in Heaven!!  Brienne has fit right in here on the farm, is BFFs with Fallon and Khaleesi....and let's not forget little Bijoux!  Those girls are non-stop from sun-up til sun-down!  Nothing makes them happier than racing around the farm chasing lizards and swimming in the pond!  We decided to send her to Uncle Arvind for the 2019 summer show circuit and she has been doing AWESOME!  She is showing like a Champ and I know will soon come home as our newest Champion!

Fallon is the newest member of our family and a much anticipated additon she is!  Her sire, Cam, was the sire of Sachi, CH Kengali's Caribbean Soul, my first Bred By Champion and foundation bitch.  I wanted to bring Cam back into our bloodline so a surgical implant was performed with frozen semen and VOILA!  Here she is!  After a bit of initial stage fright on the show scene, she quickly came into her own and now loves to get out in public and enjoys all the attention.  In January, at 6 months, she was Reserve Winners the first day in the show ring...despite climbing up my back most of the time in the ring!, and then her first win was the following weekend.  Again....great expectations ahead for this youngster!  She has 3 majors under her belt as of January 2020...so close to finishing!
