29.1.23 Hi Greg and Rowhin,

 

We just wanted to send you a little update on Max, since we collected him from you at the start of November.

 

Firstly, we wanted to sincerely thank you for breeding such beautiful dogs. Max has the most beautiful temperament and is so calm, loving and quiet. He has become such an important part of the family and is exactly what each of us needed.

 

He is still growing at a crazy rate - usually 1.5-2kg per week! At approx 5 months he weighs about 28 kilos. He still hasn't grown into his massive paws though haha. 

 

I still remember when we collected him you told us he will be aloof for a few days, and then he will settle in and just want to love his people. This is exactly what happened. He did not fret after leaving his littermates or family, and by the second day, he just wanted to be where ever we were. He was basically crate trained in a day (I think we had 30 mins of crying the first night and that's about it). He has been to Puppy Preschool and has learnt some good basics. We are continuing to train him and are working on his recall when off the lead and it is going pretty well. He loves an off lead run and generally will stay close enough to us, unless some birds have caught his attention haha. He hates water and wasn't a fan of swimming (no surprises there). 

 

Thank you again, we are very grateful. He really is perfect for us. 

 

Erin, Matt and Declan. 

 

23.1.20 I have the most amazing dog. Thanks so much for enriching our lives. Mike Scott (FB)

 

12.1.20 Hi guys, I have thought of updating you a few times, but obviously haven't! We hope you've had a good end to a year that had its challenges.  We're lucky to have Mace and he's been great.  He loves a swim, but doesn't do stairs so well.  We have evacuated due to bushfires a couple of times over the past couple of weeks, the last to Latchford Barracks, where Atila had to carry him up and down four flights.  At about 40kgs now, it wasn't all that easy.

He barks when he plays with Pip the Kelpie and trying to defend a bone, but last nights bark in the wee hours was like nothing we had heard before, and he didn't stop, prompting Atila to frock up and go outside.

Mace was at the front fence, which is an old 50's chain mesh/pipe set up that is 60cm high - he stands above it, but hasn't worked out that he can get over it.....Atila assumed it was a cat or something, and bought him inside.

This morning we realised the back door of our Navara, which was parked on the street out front,  was ajar (our bad for leaving it unlocked), and half the tonnau cover clips were undone.  The cab was empty, so they obviously just closed the door enough for it not to make a sound, and went for the fully loaded tray, packed for our Tassie trip we leave for tomorrow....easily a 2+ grand's worth of camping and bike gear.  It would have been devastating to lose it.

Go Mace!

Cheers,

Lauren & Atila. (email)

 

13.1.20 Rosie is just beautiful and going very, very well.  You have really nailed the brief for a puppy that suits me, I am  so glad I let you decide which one.  I love her to bits and we go everywhere together.  She charms everybody at South West Rocks and Crescent Head, as Greg said is a jewel.  She loves the car, plays with the horse and has even befriended my feisty cat! who doesn't like anything else as a rule.  She is very smart, picks up training quickly but is still a playful  puppy.  Has not chewed anything or had any house training accidents, even does a wee to order before we go to bed.  I took her to the vet for heartworm & Drontal etc & she weighed 17kg so is growing nicely & eats her Royal Canin well.  I discussed the dreadful de-sexing but will go with that to decrease the risk of malignancy and I definitely don't want puppies!   I will leave that to your expertise.  Thank you very, very much  indeed she has made a huge difference to my life in the best way possible.  Ann (email)

We got our Marley in October 2014. He is just beautiful with the best temperament. He lives inside and is just like one of our children. He is one of the family. Thank you Rowhin & Greg (FB)

 

They are the best natured babies, we do t know what life would be like without our gorgeous girl. So kind, so intelligent, so loving. Lx (FB)

 

Greg and Rowhin were very professional and a pleasure to deal with. We are so grateful to be the proud "parents" of a Zambuana Ridgeback. Our big boy is now almost 8 months old and is testament to the sound breeding that Zambuana work on. He is the perfect puppy in every way. Brad (FB)

 

My first Ridgeback Zulu - is still the most beautiful dog I’ve ever known (let alone - having the privilege to own) from Zambuana/ Greg & Rowhin.

I now own two ridgeback puppy’s 2&3 =
Zeus&Zaire from Zambuana.

They are 18 months old now & have the similarities of the beautiful soul that Zulu was.

Amazing Rhodesian Ridgebacks guys! (FB)

Arrived safely. Thank you both so much for such a precious and priceless gift. Thank you for your devotion and love that has enabled people like us to obtain so much comfort,company and companionship in your beautiful "offspring". Thanks also for your warmth and hospitality.

We are Diane Janssen and Bob Woods
i believe we bought a puppy from you nearly 18 years ago.  
We are in our seventies now so no more puppies!   My husband has parkinson disease and we still live on several acres (with a caretaker).  Our present ridgeback whom we call Jaiya (victory) is about 12 now.  
I am looking to adopt a very stable adult dog who will keep Jaiya company and hike the local mountains with me.  We are starting with you.  Your line has proven to be the best in a lifetime of owning ridgebacks
If  there were a dog of reasonable age (2-4 ideal) we would like to know and see if we can work out being its future family.
Thank you,

   Thank you so much for allowing us to see the puppies and their parents last week. You have done a wonderful job on your puppies and was shown to us that you both take much proud in your dogs and kennel. In saying that Mike and I would love to purchase a little girl to add to our family. Looking forward to speaking soon.

   Afternoon Rowhin and Greg,

As you both now know we unfortunately lost our much loved Foster recently. He will be sorely missed by us (and many others) He gave us almost 12 years of total love and devotion. We were very lucky to have had him. Both John and I wish to thank you both for allowing us the opportunity to have such a special animal in our lives. He was a magnificent dog.

We are now planning to travel to England for about 3 - 4 months at the end of this year. Once we return, we are planning to get another special dog and we are hoping you will allow us to have another of your dogs. Will be in touch.

Again, thank you both for allowing us to have Foster,

Love Cath & John Rodger (email)

  Everyone who meets our Ridgeback falls in love with his looks and gentle nature. I would recommend ZAMBUANA lodge, they are the best.
