Both Twyla and Neko have already produced beautiful puppies who are doing well in the show ring.  We believe their pedigrees and physical characteristics complement each other.
 
Both are a nice deep red color with very little white, pretty chiseled heads with nice square muzzles, good angulation and correct movement.
 
Both Twyla and Neko have wonderful temperaments...the best part of this mating.  Twyla has always had a "softer" personality than many Ridgebacks, and will gaze at you adoringly while being petted.  Neko, at six years of age, had to learn to adjust to living with two new babies...one 18 mos and the other only 6 weeks old.  That is a major adjustment for a dog who had the parents' undivided attention for his first four years.  He has taken to helping raise the children well and taking a back seat in attention.  He is friendly, outgoing and just a well-adjusted, happy boy.  I couldn't have asked for a nicer dog to breed Twyla to.
