Tigris Rhodesian Ridgebacks member RRCUS

On February 28, 2007, Hermani and Kumba's seven beautiful puppies arrived...five boys (3 show ridged, 2 w/single crowns) and two show ridged girls :o)

After careful consideration of health, temperament and structure, our lovely and talented Hermani (CH EchoRidge Spellbound By Tigris, SC, NA, NAJ, CGC) was bred to the very handsome Kumba (CH Of Afrikka's Kumbayah, JC). Hermani is OFA Hips Excellent, OFA Elbows & Thyroid Normal, CERF (eyes) Clear and BAER tested normal hearing. Kumba is OFA Hips Good, OFA Elbows, Cardiac & Thyroid Normal and CERF (eyes) Clear.

Hermani is the daughter of two outstanding parents: 2004 & 2005 Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the United States (RRCUS) Top Stud Dog, Multiple BISS CH Tigris Nothing But Net From Masai SC NA NAP NAJ NJP HIT CGC ROM (Kobe) and the 2004 RRCUS Top Brood Bitch, CH Meandu Echo's Clio of Umtali JC CD TDI CGC ROM (Clio). Together, Kobe and Clio have produced 9 conformation champions to date, with 3 more well on their way to finishing; a Top Ten conformation Ridgeback; the 2005 RRCUS Best in Puppy Sweepstakes winner/Reserve Winners Bitch; a regional specialty Winners Dog; Best of Breed winners and Group Placers from the classes; as well as numerous performance titled offspring. Best of all, this pairing has consistently produced remarkably intelligent dogs with outstanding temperaments. We eagerly anticipate that Hermani will carry the legacy of her pedigree forward thru her own puppies.
