Shantih was a much longed for little girl. I had long wanted a Jukati daughter, and I was super chuffed that it was ex my lovely Fleur de Cap.
She took her SeVCh (Swedish Field Tracking Championship) in three straight tracks in 2014, She was a very correct little lady, with a long and very good ridge, and a wonderful temperament.
In 2015 she was 2nd Best Bitch at the South African Club Show, and got the RCC.
She then had three litters. One in January 2016, by Excalibur Bolt, a South African gentleman with my first pedigreed RR, Praidas Salut, in his pedigree. I kept a bitch, Inanda Mellberg Nimla by Bolt.
A second litter was whelped in October 2017, by Clachan Boyaid, and a third in June 2020, also by Clachan Boyaid. From the 2020 litter I kept Dia, Inanda Mellberg Quaraa Hadiya C.
With the years Shantih developed into quite the Alpha, and she leaves a huge void in our pack.
For more details about these litters, please see Previous Litters.
Otto was born on September 21st 2010, and was very carefully tested by his former owner, Jörgen Olsen, a Danish Schweisshound-handler, before moving to Denmark in late 2010. However, he did not quite come up to expectation quickly enough, so Jörgen decided to go back to labradors. He offered to return Otto to me, and I was only too pleased to get him back, and to have an IM Edelrood x Rekaylahn Amber offspring in the house.
Otto was then one of the two dogs I took with me when I moved back to South Africa in 2014.
All in all he produced two excellent litters; one with kennel Hunting Pride in Norway, and one with kennel Amberhall.
He died in a freak accident on May 17th 2020.
There is enough frozen semen for three more litters from him, but it has all been spoken for.
Dental status: Correct scissor bite, missing one P2
Fleur de Cap, e IntUCh Heshima ya Kimba Energy of Red ex Lionesque Clementine was whelped on June 22, 2006. She is a lovely Red Wheaten with a black mask, and has a wonderfully relaxed and outgoing temperament. Fleur has had three litters, please see Previous Litters.. for details. She is also an outstanding tracker, the best one I have ever had the privilege of working with.
Amber was born on the Swedish National Day, June 6th, in 2003, in the UK, and arrived in Sweden just over three months later. She is by GBCh Ndege Shaka of Eilack ex Vizara Hluhluwe Rekaylahn, and combines a very feminine appearance with a strong character and a very loving temperament.
She’s had four litters; for details see Previous Litters.
After a very active life, the years caught up with her, and when her body no longer did her bidding, I opted to have her put down.
Inanda Mellberg Winston was born on July 4th 2002, by Orangelad ex Lionesque Clementine, and developed in a very handsome African gentleman, wheaten red in colour and with a lovely temperament.
He has sired two litters; one at IMK (see Previous Litters, 2007), and one at African Goldridge’s.
Swedish Field Tracking Champion.
Clementine was a very beautiful and feminine lady, dark wheaten in colour. She was eager to please very difficult to upset, and she was a fantastic mother. She’s left a void that will never quite be filled.
Generally known as Churchill, Orangelad was a privilege to live with; a big, handsome chap with an excellent temperament. He is sorely missed.
