Kennel Makaita is located near Lillehammer, 2,5 hours north of Oslo, Norway.
Tariro, had 9 healthy boys and two girls, the summer of 2022.

We hope for puppies On May 11th.

When I met handsome Nelson a year ago he confirmed having the qualities I looked for to match our wonderful Tariro.

Both Nelson and Tariro has super temperament, being confident, fearless, friendly and eager to please their owners. Meeting other dogs, being in new arenas, being given new and strange tasks…. No problem!

Both Nelson, which is now 9 years old, and Tariro, 5, has also been very healthy dogs their whole life. They both have previous litters, and all their offspring are healthy, and mentaly very sstable.

Tariro is extremely willing to work, especially when it comes to obedience, but also with search and track.

Nelson is a very uncomplicated boy and she reminds me a lot of my first and beloved Ridgeback, Shalita. He is very calm, balanced and fearless. He gets along with everyone, both people and animals. She loves to hang with his people, and enjoys every surrounding.

We expect puppies with very stable solid temperaments, lots of will to work, and plenty of playfulness. Puppies will be suited to a variety of working as well as active family companions.

Wadiwa, Tariro and I live in a cozy house, with a large garden, close to beautiful Norwegian wild life and forrest areas near Lillehammer. Besides being a dedicated «dog-lady», obedience- and canine fitness instructor, I also teach at the local vocabulary high school.

I have been breeding Rhodesian ridgeback since 2015, and also compete with them in dogshows, in obedience, Rally Obedience, blood tracking, ID-tracking, IPO obedience and agility.

I am a dog trainer and instructor focusing on the dogs having fun, enhancing what is good, ignoring what is not.

I also teach tracking, obedience, show handling and physical dogtraining for improved performance and endurance; live and online.

I drive approx 40.000 km each year, which most of it is dog-related. In 2019 I also startet my own cattery.

I am also a member of the NRRK board, show-comittee, and health-, breeding- and mental committee. I am also a former leader of the local working dog club, and former member of the local border of the Norwegian kennel Club.
