ABOUT US Enjoying the company of dogs is a family affair.
My parents raised us with weimeraners; a terrific breed for active kids.
My grandparents had airedales and poodles. I attended my first dog
show with my father when I was six and it left quite an impression.
I had the pleasure of experiencing many dogs growing up,
but without a doubt the sweetest and smartest dog I have ever known was my
black brindle dog, Ian. Ian was tragically killed in an accident
during my last year of college. To help console the loss, my family
offered to acquire a puppy of any breed for me after graduation. I
spent six months thoroughly researching purebred dogs to find just the right
fit. The home work paid off and Ridgebacks proved to be "it".
|
Ian |
I obtained my first Ridgeback
just prior to starting |
|
graduate school. Rapidan Ramnes Iron Liege, |
|
better known as
Hektor, was named for the
1957 |
|
Kentucky
Derby winner. Hektor achieved titles and |
|
National rankings in
Obedience, Lure Coursing and |
|
Agility. He was
also certified in Herding, Therapy |
|
work and was
Temperament tested. For all of these |
|
achievements, Hektor
earned his Versatility |
|
Certificate from the
Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of |
|
the United States. |
Another addition to the household is Ivan,
Globe's
Daredevil of Lyonvelt, named for the
Marvel
comic book hero. Related by way of Hektor's sister Amy, who was
exported to Ireland, Ivan is just as talented as Hektor, and is another
Ramnes high achiever. Ivan is successful not only in the show ring,
but also in multiple performance venues. Ivan also earned his
Versatility Certificate from RRCUS.
I am likewise fortunate to co-own Morgan,
Globe's
Reign Maker Lyonvelt; named for her notable grandsire, Globe Ca-Abi Reign
On Teaser. Morgan is a gorgeous Ridgeback with an engaging
personality. She exhibits her keen prey drive on the lure coursing
field and is an absolute joy to live with.
Ivan's son Logan, Ramnes Unreal Zeal is our pride and joy.
Logan was bred by
Aegis Ridgebacks in Oregon and is now enjoying
life in the sunny South where he is putting his talents to work like his
accomplished father.
Recently we
diversified from Hounds to the Non-Sporting group with the addition of
Bruce, Floresta Ramnes Riddle Me This, a French Bulldog.
Bruce LOVES to show and has achieved many nice wins in conformation as a
young dog. He is now working on adding titles to the end of his name.
