Ador Bukama was our first ridgeback as well as a dog. He was a dog of exceptional character. He had a very calm and self-balanced nature. He was unique, very wise and big “Mr. Dog”. I am very grateful for beautiful nine years in his company. Ador made our family happier and also better. It is miracle to have, but very painful to lost a dog of such a great personality. Ridgebacks are the most pleasant companions and the most devoted creatures that a man can have. They fulfilled our life and gave a sense for each leisure moment. They inspired me to write a book and many other published studies and articles about the breed, to pass a hunting exams to work at Slovak RR club.

The beginnings of our breeding
After a ripe consideration following deep knowledge I decided in 1999 for a stud of this wonderful breed.
Why Australia?
In 1998 a friend of mine, who was a judge to the RR Club show in Adelaide brought me a tape from this Show. This record contains about 200 dogs standing up, moving and detailed shots of the head. I was astonished by the type similarity as well as by the perfect leg angulatuion of all those dogs. This kind of balanced breeding and balanced character took my breath away and there was no doubt where my bitch is going to come from Australia!
I knew that Australians are very anxious about their dogs’ health, they follow both fulldentition and HD carefully as well as ellbows, eye and thyroid tests. Among all the continents they had the most type-balanced RR breedings. Untill last year I spent a lot of time studing pedigrees, the australian video, Internet etc. As the time passed by I started to define which dogs I´d like to have (and not to) in my bitch’s pedigree.
Following the bloodlines and their ancestors brought me to Ch. MACUMAZAHN PEARL JAM called Spice who I fell totally in love with. She charmed me by her “radiating” personality. Spice, together with her brothers and sisters, ancestors and offspring represent The perfect Rhodesian Ridgeback for me. They represent unity of beauty and intelligence. This kennel has managed to achieve a type-balanced, elegant, nice headed RR generation. I spent hours and hours watching the tape which contained spots with many of Spice´s ancestors and I must admitt those where the most beautiful and charming dogs I have ever seen in my life.
I was definetelly decided my puppy would be from Macumazahn – whatever it´s going to cost me!
