Ice & his mum Khoia
 


Best of Breed - Royal Adelaide Show 1999

  Ice is a very gentle dog and loves the company of people, especially little ones.  He enjoys a good game of chasy around the house or yard and is very careful not to run too fast so he can be caught.  He likes it when it is his turn to chase the children, that way he gets to smother them with kisses when he catches them.  Never under-estimate the vocabulary of a Ridgeback....they know exactly what you are saying. More often than not, you may even get an answer from them!  Ice loves to talk and he gets quite annoyed if you don't pay attention when he is speaking to you.  He gives you a gentle nudge with his nose or puts a paw on you.  He has also made it an "art form" of being able to curl up on my lap whilst I am sitting in my chair. 

Now Ice is 10.5yrs and very much retired.  He is happy to be spending the weekends lazing on the bed and walking in the forest ! 

Ice now has progeny around Australia, also in Canada, South Africa, Finland and the Czech Republic..  We wish all his babies well for a long and happy future.

Although Ice (Iceman, Monkey or Food Freak as he is known to his close friends) did enjoy showing - when it's wasnt' too hot that is, his favourite time is that spent chasing bunnies, swimming at the beach and playing with his friends, oh yes - and of course eating and sleeping - after all he is a Ridgeback !!

On 17th March, 2001 Ice won his third Championship Best In Show at the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of South Australia Inc.  under breed specialist Jane Armatys from Tasmania.  He was also awarded Best Headed dog and Sire & Progeny. 

At the Easter Show Circuit 2002 - South East - South Australia finally won the "Border Shield" after many years of a drought (Victoria held the trophy)- Ice was awarded the Chisinga Trophy for the highest scoring Ridgeback over the 4 days of shows. 

At the 7th Rhodesian Ridgeback National - at the age of 8 - Ice was awarded 3rd in Open dog from a large class of dogs.

Ice made his mark in the show ring with several Runner Up Best In Group and Class In Show wins (championship shows) including Intermediate In Show at the 4th National Rhodesian Ridgeback Champ Show in January 1998 and Runner Up In Show and Best Headed Dog at the RRCSA Open Show in October 1997. Ice won BEST OF BREED at the Royal Adelaide Show on 9th September, 1999 under Mr. Ramon Podesta from Chile.  Ice gained his Endurance Trial title in June, 1999.  26th March, 2000 Ice was BEST IN SHOW at the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Victoria Specialty Champ Show under specialist judge Mrs. Anna Lane.  He was also awarded Best Headed dog and Best Gaited dog.

On 30th April, 2000 Ice was awarded his second Championship Specialty win with Best In Show at the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Western Australia under breed specialist judge Ms. Patrice Johansen from Queensland.  He was also awarded Best Gaited dog and Best Gait overall.
