Danny
(Australian Champion Nkazimlo Rugger)
Danny at 19 Months |
We currently have five adult dogs. Danny & Sandy were our first two. Danny and Sandy were litter mates (brother and sister) so Danny is the Uncle of the three puppies we kept from Sandy's litter, Marina, Titan & Sinbad. They are all the greatest companions and we love them dearly. See Danny's Pedigree Chart here. Danny has the great temperament for a Ridgeback male. Strong, masculine protective but not aggressive. If a stranger approaches the property he lets them know it is his domain but does not directly approach them he stands his ground and barks while wagging his tail. |
Danny has performed well in the showring earning many Best of Breeds and several Classes in Group for each age range. Danny has a strong masculine head which is very attractive to look at. He has a gentle nature with us and children. he is obedient very easy to live with. |
Danny and Sandy Playing

Danny and Sandy go for a free from time to time and love to chase each other and bowl each over over (Sandy always tumbles Danny) even though he is much heavier than her. It's a real treat to see them in action. They look really magnificent on the move (As do many good Ridgeback's)

Danny is a good example of a strong Ridgeback male. In looks he is similar to his father 'Monty' and even more similar to his great grandfather. He has a very deep chest and a strong masculine look.
