y adventure with
cynology began in 1978. It became my hobby and the great adventure
soon. I was lucky to meet so wonderful breeders who
answered all my inquiring questions with great kindness. They advised me
how to be a good breeder, also to turn special
attention to health, gene base, exterier
and psyche not to destroy former breeders' work on the
breed.
o we decided to take a new dog. We wanted to have a
short-haired female in sport type. When we looked through a book of dogs' breed
we were admired with a picture of a rhodesian mum with her pups. Those days
there were no rhodesian dogs in Poland, so we started to search for breeders
outside of Poland. We pointed our attention to Denmark - a
country of high cynologic culture. Owing to our best friend - a judge and
newfoundlands breeder, we managed to find the best kennel. It was very important
as the first representative of Rhodesian Ridgback was to come to our country. We
thank you for this, Alexandra!
s a pup, Cinnamon was full of mischief,
but very clever. While growing up she started to behave like a
real lady. Then I concocted a saying describing everyday life with a rhodesian -
teach him from himself. And this is true as a rhodesian can deliver a lot of
information but you should only know how to read all these signs.

shows gave us a lot of joy and satisfaction when Cinnamon was admired by judges
and audience. She was presented for the first time in 1994 on International Dog
Show in Poznan in puppy class, where she conquered her competition. A lot of
people visiting the shows were surprised at a ridge on her back. Most of them
couldn't believe it was natural, normal for this breed. We used to sayings
that she had to be very bad-natured as she was always bristled. Once we met a
man on the show who looked at Cinnamon's back and asked if it was a stitch. Then
he added indignantly: "Couldn't they put the dog a proper stitch?" and went away.
But we still don't know whether he was joking or not.
ne day
we decided that Cinnamon would became a mother. She proved to be an outstanding
representative of the breed, so maybe she will also prove to be an outstanding
dam as well. We searched through different countries and kennels and one day we
found a beautifull "Viking" for her in Copenhagen. We made an X-ray to check her
hips - to make sure she is healthy. In February 1997 she met her future "fiance".
She became a mother for the first time in April 1997. She gave many outstanding
Rhodesians, her children and grandchildren reach for highest titles on European
rings. They are not only excellent in exterior, but also have an excellent
character and what is the most important - they are healthy. All is due to
carefully and well chosen sires as well.
