Kennel Makaita is located in Lillehammer, 2 hours north of Oslo, Norway.

Tariro, had 9 boys and two girls, the summer of 2022.

Wadiwa, Tariro, Kamoto 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», I also teach merchant courses at the local vocabulary high school. Before I started teaching I worked as a hotel manager for approx 15 years.

Me, the breeder, Anita Menkerud, has a Master degree in hotel management and vocational pedagogy. 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 an 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, health-, breeding- and mental committee and is a former leader of the election comittee. I am also a former leader of the local working dog club, and former member of the local border of the Norwegian kennel Club.
