I am so excited to announce my planned D-litter for spring 2012. This will be my girl Moa's second litter, she is also the dame of my Beatles litter that was born in 2010.
Moa has been confirmed pregnant at the estimated arrival of the puppies is the last weekend in February! The puppies will the be ready to move to their new homes in the end of April.

Moa is my princess all they way out in her claws! She loves attention and no one can demand a backrub like she can, and no one she meets can refuse to give her one! ;)
She is a happy, friendly and very easy going girl who catches many peoples eyes because of her lovely colour. She is a darkred girl with a good exteriour. She has been shown with very nice results giving her the titles Swedish Champion (SEUCH), Norwegian Champion (NUCH), Finnish Champion (FINCH) , Nordic Champion (NORDUCH) and Estonian Champion (ESTCH).
But this girl is not only pretty. She is a good working dog aswell and is a Swedish Bloodtracking Champion (SEVCH). I have also competed with her in obedience before she had her first litter and now she is competing in Rallyobedience.
She also loves agility and lurecoursing, fun activities with speed!
After Moa's name is the letters CV (ROM), this is an unofficial title given to dogs who has at least 5 Champion offsprings. And Moa got this already from her first litter where six out of the seven puppies has already gained their Swedish Bloodtracking Champion titles!

Argos is a wonderful male that I have had my eyes on for a very very long time, even before Moa had her first litter. I am so happy to get the opportunity to use this stunning male in my breeding programme. This is his first litter in Sweden!
Argos is born in California but lives in Canada and is so far the ONLY Ridgeback who has gained the title GRAND CHAMPION of both Canada and America. He has been the #1 Top Winning Ridgebackmale in Canada 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. He is according to the CKC database the most winning Ridgeback in Canadian History!
But this handsome boy has more than wonderful looks. He is sweet as sugar with an outstanding temperament.
This is his owners words about him; "Friendly, calm, easy-going male, who gets along with everyone and anything yet ready to protect his house and family with his magnificent presence. Argos loves to work, please, and do new things, so that is why we will soon be entering tracking, rally obedience, and agility venues. He truly is an ambassador for our wonderful breed: A Hound for All Reasons!"

Here are an explanation to all the titles Argos has behind his name:

ROM - Register of merit, given to dogs that have produced 5 champion offspring in Canada.
JC - junior courser - 2 clean runs after the lure to test the desire to lurecourse.
RN - a title for his results in Rallyobedience Noviceclass.
Reg. Therapy Dog
HIC - herding instinct test - the dog has to show a clear instinct to herd sheep without any training.
CGN and CGC are Canine Good neighbor and Canine Good Citizen tests - they are the same, but from Canada and US. Is a sort of mentality test to see that the dog has a all around good temperament and is a requirement for a lot of other titles (like for therapy dog and for the versatility -title and for GrandCh -title in Canada).
VDX - this is a versatility title given to dogs that do as many different things as possible - Argos now has enough titles to have Versatility Excellent, VDX.

Are you looking for a loving familydog and perhaps have an interest in working with your dog? Then this might be the litter for you! Even if you don't have an interest in dog shows please don't hesitate to contact me. I never put puppies to sleep because of beautyfaults like ridgefault, ridgeless, kinked tails or overbites. So if you feel like you could provide a good home for an "incorrect" puppy your are also more than welcome to contact me!

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BUYING A PUPPY FROM KADAMO?

I am looking for puppybyers who are interested in having an active life with their dog, wether it is with tracking, agility, obedience, showing or other kind of activities.
It is also very important to me with puppybyers who will stay in close touch with me when the puppy grows up so that I can follow their development and evalute my breeding.
I will arrange puppymeetings where we will try different types of activities and I will have a puppyclass for the litter which I would like all byers to attend if possible.

I follow the directions and guidelines written by the Swedish Kennelclub (SKK) and the Swedish Rhodesian Ridgeback Club (SRRS) when choosing suitable dogs for breeding concerning health and breedtype. (This means that a dog being used for breeding needs to be X-rayed with score A or B on hips and 0/0 on elbows and been shown with at least a Very Good in quality.) I am a member of both SKK, SRRS and my kennel is registered in FCI.

A puppy from Kadamo has been brought up within the family. It has been socialized with dogs of different breeds and ages, socialized with kids, cartrained, experienced different environments and so on. I take my job as a breeder very seriously and always try to give my puppies the best possible start in life.
I never put down puppies that are born "incorrect" meaning for example with ridgefaults, kinked tails, ridgeless or similar. If you are not interested in showing and are just looking for a great companiondog for an active life, feel free to contact me!

If you are interested in a puppy from my kennel feel free to contact me for more information!
