Umjumi - Rhodesian Ridgeback Breeder in South Africa At Umjumi, each individual is as important and valued as another. All are loved and nurtured equally, from the day they arrive until nature takes it's course. Our dogs are companions, characters and personalities first and foremost, their successes or otherwise in the Ring or on the Breed Register, very much incidental. Take a look at them in the pages that follow and let them speak for themselves.

THE NEXT DAY
05.05.2011 UMJUMI RHODESIAN RIDGEBACKS TRIBUTE TO CH USAKOSE THE BOY FROM OZ - "Jubane" 01.08.1998 - 05.05.2011 Jubane passed peacefully away in the presence of his devoted adopted owners - David & Vega Cort on the 5th of May 2011. Umjumi Ridgebacks would like to pay tribute to a noble hound, whose contribution to our South African bloodlines has been significant. Bred by Sharon Taylor, Jubane was imported to South Africa in 1999, by Yvonne du Preez and joined her famous Roodedraai kennel on her farm Rietvlei, KZN. His relatively short, but sparkling Show career, saw him rapidly gain his South African Champion title, against the stiff competition of those days. However, it was his contribution to our local gene pool, that his lasting legacy lies. Ch Usakose the Boy from Oz appears in the pedigree of a number of our top winning lines and his attributes of a superb temperament, excellent type and conformation, with that essential degree of Ridgeback character and personality, have been passed on. As many a contemporary fine specimen of our Breed will attest. Well done and Hamba khashle numzaan. Go well - A Gentleman Hound indeed
Our Fabulous Femba's promising Show Career has been tragically cut short During January she was critically injured, defending her hearth & home from perceived intruders. Thankfully, her life was spared, due to her fitness, will power and the magnificent efforts of her Vetinerarian and staff. However, she will never again grace the Show Ring. A long recovery period lies ahead for her but, with careful physiotherapy and the support of Team Umjumi, she should pull through to enjoy considerable quality of life. Possibly passing on her precious genes, in time. The difficult journey has commenced and she is setting off like the true Ridgeback Champion she is, with courage and tenacity. Go girl, you are a Star! For details of her career to date, see Femba's page, elsewhere in this website
It is with great sadness that Umjumi Kennels announce the passing of their Matriarch, Champion Cartouche Dineo of Umjumi.
