Titan today ... Titan is a majestic dog. He is as large as the Rhodesian Ridgeback gets yet well balanced, correctly proportioned and moves effortlessly, smoothly and with great reach and drive. Titans strengths are: Strong attractive masculine head The first time Titan won Best Ridged Dog was the April 2006 NSW Specialty Show. The Second time was the 2006 National Rhodesian Ridgeback Specialty Show where his Brother Sinbad was also short listed in the final three out of a field of over 250 Dogs. Titan has developed into a well mannered gentle dog. Unlike most dogs when getting up on the bed he hops over whoever is on the bed and gently takes his place. If he is on the lounge when one of us approaches he gets down and allows us to take our place, if rome then permits he gets back on, else he finds a comfortable place nearby on a mat on the floor. All of this came naturally and was not taught to him, he naturally has great manners. |

Training at 10 weeks... Titan was relatively easy to stack train. Immediately his excellent top line and angulation became apparent. His shoulder angle and feet impressed us as this is being lost in many of the Ridgeback bloodlines
