"Warning: Once you have owned a Rhodesian Ridgeback, you will never be satisfied with anything else".

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.
 
In 2004 'Jinx' arrived and caused mayhem and mischief in the house but....Castor was very happy & then sired his first litter in 2006!
 
Rachel & Wayne are members of the Midlands & Northern Rhodesian Ridgeback Club.  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.
 
We are extremely proud of our achievments so far and are looking forward to the 'Shombay' future!
 
We hope you enjoy our modest website!
