Hi, we are Rachel Tredwell & Wayne
Symonds and are the extremely proud owners of the
Shombay Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
We
admired this beautiful breed for a number of years before waiting carefully until our circumstances were right and acquired
our foundation dog 'Castor' in 2002. We began showing in 2003 and were hooked!! Wanting
a relevant name to fit the history of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, it was decided our affix would be 'Shombay' as it
means 'he who walks like a lion" in Swahili.
This wonderful breed
took over our hearts and we of course then added a new addition to our family....Jinx!
Our ridgeback family
is growing slowly, but with careful thought and consideration, Shombay are aiming to breed Rhodesian Ridgebacks that whilst
remaining true to their original breeding, are able to become wonderful family dogs and a loving addition to any
home.
We all live in the beautiful county of Herefordshire.
Our other love is of
Dalmations and we are both members of the British Dalmation Club.
We will strive to breed Rhodesian Ridgebacks that are sound in conformation and temperament. Our
dogs are first and most importantly pets, live in the house as part of the family and we (and them) show as our hobby.
Rachel and Wayne are Kennel Club Accredited Breeders, abiding to their Code of Ethics.
We are extremely proud of our achievments so far and are looking forward to
the 'Shombay' future!
We hope you
enjoy our modest website!
