"Elsa"
Sire: American / Canadian Champion Brondiki Original Recipe JC
Dame: American / Canadian Champion Brondiki Special Blend ROM

Elsa is a true Rhodesian Ridgeback. Blending the courage of a lion and the gentleness of a lamb, she is the perfect balance of wonderful temperament and health. She loves the outdoor life, and is always the last one to come in from the rain. She comes from a wonderful blend of two bloodlines that are well respected as well as beautiful.

Did I mention she is a great watch dog? She is endlessly patrolling the property, looking for anything out of place or just the right opportunity to play in the creek or chase deer to the propertys edge.

Elsa's cuddle buddie is Reggie. They are inseperable! I can't wait to see him with her pups. He loves it when puppies come for boarding. Look for his anticks on the "Photo" page. Clearly our entertainer. When Elsa was 14 weeks old she thought it would be fun to yank out the Invisible Fence flags and chase Reggie with them! Nothing is funnier than that sight! This big boy being chased by this puppy running for his life and screeming like a woman! Till this day he has a hard time Lure Course racing, being that they use white bags that resemble Invisible Fence flags.
