Themba, pictured above, is co-owned by myself and our good friends Kim and Al Lucchini in Washington, PA. He finished his AKC Championship easily out of the Bred By class. He is a handsome red wheaten dog with excellent movement and temperament and a playful personality; Kim calls him the "puppy punk" even though he is now most definitely a mature, handsome dog. Exiting from the ring at one of his shows, a spectator commented that Themba looked like the "Brad Pitt" of dogs! So I lovingly call him Brad sometimes.
Themba was neutered in 2011 and is no longer available for stud.

Themba is pictured above being shown by myself in the Bred By class in December 2007 in Cleveland, OH. He won his class that day and went on to take Best of Winners and a 5 point major.

Themba finished his AKC Championship with a flair under esteemd judge Mrs. Betty-Ann Stenmark in March of 2008 near his hometown in Pittsburgh, PA. Mrs. Stenmark knows her Ridgebacks as she had just judged our RRCUS National in Mason, Ohio in May of 2007. I had a feeling she would like Themba. She gave him Winners Dog out of the Bred By class, Best of Winners and Best of Breed over Specials that day. It was a great day.
