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.

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)
I had the best dog i have ever owned came from this breeder. Sadly JED has past now and seriously considering another Rhodesian ridgeback awesome natured mate. Cheers (FB)
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)

We absolutely love our baby girl! She is such a beautiful bundle of love and energy. So glad we got her. Thank you so much for such an amazing pup and organising everything over a short period of time. Highly recommend them:) We definitely make contact again with you when we're ready to get Cassie a friend. (FB)
