FEMALE PUPPY AVAILABLE
POSTED 5 June 2025
This outstanding female puppy has become available from our Major x Skye litter born 7.2.2025 - due to a family accident, her booking has been cancelled.
She is fully vaccinated, wormed, lead trained, has attended several socialisation classes, and has been vet checked with a clean bill of health. She’s an absolute delight, correctly marked, perfectly ridged and beautiful inside and out.
This is the first availability I have had for any puppy in this spectacular litter and will accept only serious enquiries for this one remaining female.
The litter of 9 excelled on paper in the planning process and again once they were born, and have been an absolute delight to raise and nurture. Her siblings have joined their forever homes with exceptional feedback. Major is a UK Champion and Skye is 3rd generation of my own breeding. Her father, mother, grandsire, grand dam, and great grand dam all live with me. Major and Skye have both been extensively health tested with Laboklin and both are non-carrier and clear across all heath test results including JME and Degenerative Myelopathy and both have excellent hip results 0:0 and both have clear elbows 0:0. 

The entire litter was correctly marked. Beautiful long, correct ridges, minimal white, no kinks in the tails, no dermoid sinus, and they have grown with good, calm dispositions.
I am a Championship Show judge for Rhodesian Ridgebacks both nationally and internationally, have owned the breed for over 20 years with several champions in my breeding line, including top ranked dogs in both the UK and USA where I lived until 2011. I rarely breed (every three to four years) and pay great attention and care to researching, planning and raising litters.
Please contact me for more information about this beautiful puppy, and once again, serious enquiries only please.

We are family focussed Rhodesian Ridgeback breeders who breed occasionally, selectively, and only when we want to add to our family of dogs.
We health check our dogs for hip and elbow dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy (DM) and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), and our foundation has also been tested and cleared for eyes, heart and thyroid. We supported the excellent work and assisted in the research for Early Onset Adult Deafness (EOAD) in the Rhodesian Ridgeback breed submitting results which all came back High Confidence Clear. Good health and exceptional temperament are of paramount importance to us and we only breed dogs who have been health tested with good results and dogs who are exceptional ambassadors for our breed.
Since our move from the USA in March 2011 (where we were known as Blue Sky Ridgebacks) we are proud to announce our UK kennel name Colkeririn Rhodesian Ridgebacks, our affix granted by The Kennel Club, England on June 24, 2011.
