Rhodesian ridgeback Club show Slovenia

Some years ago, I was born in a mountain village in central Italy, where I owned my first pet, a Siamese cat. When I was 6, my family moved to the fine city of Naples, stretching between the Vesuvio volcano and the Mediterranean sea, where I still live. I had my first dog in 1960, a Boxer bitch, a great companion of my childhood, and since then my life has always been involved with dogs and love for dogs. In 1979 I achieved my degree in Architecture and in 1983 I moved to UK for attaining my MSc. There I met Carla, a lovely Rhodesian Ridgeback bitch; she made me fall in love with the Rhodesian Ridgeback breed soon to become my breed. In 1985 I got my first Rhodesian Ridgeback dog from a well-known UK kennel. Shortly after I bought my foundation bitch Johokwe Goldy from a well-known breeder from Germany. In 1986 I attended my first dog show; in 1992 my first litter was born and in 1995 I obtained my FCI affix “Murenga” co-owned with my husband Marco. Today I live with a lovely smart RR bitch sired by Apalachee uMqolo of Prokberg (frozen semen I owned), dam Lewanika Kukuheha bred and owned by my dear friend Helle Lauriden from Denmark. Very happy to have this sibling from a lovely litter of so old South African blood. Over the years I developed, and still have, a strong interest in the breed and its history. In 1990 I started publishing a registered magazine in Italian devoted to the Rhodesian Ridgeback breed and in 1997 I travelled to Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) along the prints of the men and places where the breed developed. Since its foundation I am a member of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Italy (RRCI) of which I was the President; today I am the Italian Kennel Club (ENCI) representative on the Club Board. In early 2000, supported by my husband, I applied for my judging license and today I judge all breeds of FCI Groups 4, 6 and 10, all breeds of Group 8 but Labrador retriever and Golden retrieer, and Bouledogue Françoise, Pug, Boston Terrier, Maltese and Bolognese from FCI Group 9. Up to now I have judged in my country and abroad, and also have judged several Rhodesian Ridgeback Club Shows (Denmark, Russia, Sweden, Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, Norway). Recently I also judged Club shows for some breeds of FCI Group 6 at the World Dog Show 2015 in Milan. I am also a representative of the Italian Kennel Club at our national and international dog shows and a member of the board of my local Kennel Club in Naples. I also held seminars on the Rhodesian Ridgeback breed for the Italian RR Club and in general on dogs and morphology for other organisations and in second grade schools. Looking forward to meet your lovely Rhodesian Ridgebacks in Slovenia!
