"Hey look I'm faster than Rufus - are you getting a good photo of me??"

5-2-10 - Roscoe with buddy Rufus - resting after having a nice run.  Roscoe is showing off his beautiful ridge.

5-2-10 -- Hannah stopping for a moment to smell the flowers.

5-2-10 -- Nice head shot of Hannah among the flowers - what a pretty girl : )

5-2-10 -- Hannah playing and acting silly - she's really got some moves - will be good for lure coursing and agility when she's older : )

5-2-10 - Hannah in a nicely stacked show pose.  At almost 6 months old - she is a stunning girl.  Hannah, her sister and two of her brothers will be making their "show" debut this month in California, Oregon & Washington. 

Tucker and Colleen - he's not one of your normal couch potato Ridgebacks - he gets out on the trail a lot.  Great way to condition for the show ring.

Colleen and Tucker resting by the trail.

Tim and Tucker on the trail.

Tucker is "tuckered out" after his day of hiking.

"Roscoe" during his basic obedience class.

"Roscoe" - being very attentive at the sit.

"Rimsky" - isn't he a handsome boy!

"Rimsky" - in the typical Ridgeback pose - he's ready to play!

"Rimsky"  - cuddling with Norah.

"Rimsky"  --  "I do not want to be the Easter Bunny!"

Darcey in the back and Rimsky in the front - when they met at the dog show in Albany, Oregon

Darcey on the left and Rimsky on the right.

"Hannah" - enjoying her day at a lure coursing event 4-29-10.  She even got the chance to "chase the bunny" for a short distance.

Darcey and Tucker playing on the dog show grounds in Albany, OR.  Darcey is on the left.

Tucker  --  "Just after he crossed a "deep, rushing" creek behind our house (it was
maybe elbow deep on him). So brave!"

Hannah chasing Honey on the grass by the lake.

Honey - "I love water - come on in - this is fun"
Hannah - "No way!  You can't expect me to get in that water - do you?"

Hannah's first boat trip.  Being comforted by Vanessa.

Vanessa with Hannah on her lap -  "She was a little scared in the boat, but I had her in my lap and calmed her down.  By the end of the day, she was totally used to everything."

This is Honey (Hannah's friend) swimming with Kelly.

Just to show you that some Ridgebacks do like water!  Honey chasing Kelly.  Wonder if Honey will be able to teach Hannah how to swim?

Rimsky keeping Theo comfortable.  Theo was there when Rimsky joined the household and helped him adjust to his new family.  Sad to say that Theo passed away a few days ago. 

Rimsky seems to know that Theo needs him.  Theo was so good for this puppy and now Rimsky will help the family get through this terrible time.  Our dogs just don't last long enough.  Theo is a tribute to every Ridgeback on what they can do for a family while they are alive - but it's so hard when they leave us.

Rimsky taking care of the big dragon.  Now Darcey wants one after seeing this photo ; )

Rimsky joining in the all girls sleep-over.  He seems to like all the attention.

Norah sleeping with Rimsky.  This pup really knows how to please the kids.

Slick - helping Jordan with her computer work.  Another Ridgeback lap dog!

Slick with a stick.  Is he practicing for Obedience Trials???

Slick - "Slick Adventurerr" 
handsome head and long ears - he'll be growing into those ears soon.

Slick - Can you believe those ears, eyes and the fabulous length of muzzle?  At four months he's showing lots of bone and substance.  Another handsome boy from this litter.

Tucker carrying his "rabbit" - looks like he's practicing for lure coursing!

Tucker - yes Ridgebacks do like to rest and sleep on furniture.  He's so cute - how can you deny him anything?

Tucker - "R Endless Adventure" - looks like he's stalking something or someone.

Tucker resting in "Mom's" lap after a busy day of playing.  Yes, Ridgebacks are lapdogs too.

"Hannah Belle's Adventure of Tara-Ridge"

"Roscoe" -- Highwayman's True Adventurerr

Roscoe came to visit and play with Darcey March 6, 1010. In this photo she's letting him know who is boss ; )

Now Darcey just has her neck on top of his.

Roscoe's owner, Darcy, gets both pups to chase her.

Both pups looking at the three big dogs on the other side of the fence. Roscoe on the left.

Darcey chasing Roscoe. We think Roscoe will be a great lure coursing prospect for 2011.

Darcey almost catching Roscoe.

Roscoe out "hunting"

Doesn't Roscoe have a beautiful head and ears?

Roscoe at 16 weeks.

See that nice long tail (and ears) on Roscoe.

Cooper and Bodi are getting along fine. Bodi is very tolerant of just about everything. He doesn’t play with any of the other dogs. He never did, but he allows Cooper to sleep on top of him and chew his coat and tail.

Henry and Hank running on the beach in Malibu.

Henry sitting pretty.   Julie is using a clicker to train him and it is really working quite well.

Henry really enjoys the beach life.  He's been in the water and on Julie & Mark's boat.

Hannah - at 14 weeks of age - staring out at the view.
