The lovely pedigree produced by my dear friend Sarah Trigwell has the health tests for both parents.
At Shemshi Rhodesian Ridgebacks, we believe responsible breeding combines experience, knowledge of our bloodlines, and modern health testing. Decades of pedigree breeding experience are valuable, but genetic testing provides an extra layer of protection for the future of the breed.
Some hereditary conditions can remain hidden for generations. Dogs may appear healthy, have excellent temperaments, and come from strong bloodlines, yet still carry recessive genetic conditions without showing any signs themselves. DNA testing helps identify these risks before breeding decisions are made.
Health testing is not about excluding good dogs from breeding. It is about making informed mating decisions to reduce the risk of inherited disease while maintaining strong, diverse bloodlines. Modern breeding programmes around the world now use health testing alongside pedigree knowledge as standard best practice.
At Shemshi, our focus is on:
Strong temperaments
Sound structure
Breed type
Long-term health
Carefully planned matings
Lifelong support for puppy owners
We believe transparency and ongoing education are important parts of ethical breeding. Health testing strengthens confidence in pedigree breeding and helps protect the future of Rhodesian Ridgebacks for generations to come.

✨ Shemshi Rhodesian Ridgebacks – Upcoming Litter Announcement ✨
We are delighted to announce a very special upcoming litter due May 2026 🐾
Sire: Duma – Harambee Ku Duma (UK)
Dam: Shemshi Zuva
This is an incredibly exciting combination of exceptional, carefully curated bloodlines, bringing together the very best of UK, African, European, and New Zealand heritage.
Duma carries strong, influential Harambee and African foundation lines, known for their type, structure, and breed authenticity. Within his pedigree are well-known and respected dogs such as Ku Wa Na Karama at Harambee and Tambyssa’s Zephyr, reflecting depth and consistency from proven international breeding.
Zuva represents the strength of the Shemshi line, and being sired by CH Koruridge Storm of Shango, adds further depth with proven New Zealand breeding known for soundness, temperament, and true ridgeback type.
It’s been a little while since we’ve had a litter here at Shemshi, as other commitments have taken precedence—so this one is especially exciting for our household 💛
If you’re looking to welcome a well-bred Rhodesian Ridgeback into your family, or would like to know more about this exceptional pairing, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Enquiries welcome.
