Rosa is living as a "family dog" with 2 adults, one children and cats in Vantaa. According to her owners she is always hungry as I think all Prada's offspring are. ;) She's kind, but a bit reserved towards strange people as the ridgebacks mostly are. She's easy to live with, loves to run free and tells when someone is coming to home. Rosa likes to sing when mobile phone rings or a baby starts to cry. :-)

Rosa first time on blood tracking

Ronja 4 years

Ronja is another livernose girl in the litter. She's living with Sari and Kimmo and ridgeback "brother" Pablo. Ronja is super energetic, active, social and playful girl, which she also showed in MH - mental description. She's not so typical ridgeback but really funny and nice dog! She has nice expression, body structure and easy to show -temperament, so it's sometimes sad to remember that she has small kink in the end of her tail and cannot be shown at dog shows.

Ronja has trained for example agility and entered some lure coursing trials, but it seems that she has become too smart to chase the lure. ;)

Ronja 6 years
