Biography: Kendi is our high prey driven baby girl. She earned her ASFA FCH in Dec. 1999 and AKC FCH in 2001. She was the #6 AKC coursing ridgeback and the #12 RRCUS combined Ridgeback in 2000. She didn’t stand out but she was a good, consistent runner. Kendi was the #5 NOTRA Ridgeback for 2001, #2 in 2000 as well as the #3 in 1999. She is one of only 4 RR’s to earn a SOR (Senior Oval Racer) and ORC (Oval Racing Champion). She earned her GRC in 2001. She absolutely loves to run and chase bunnies, but she could do without the dreaded car ride to the events. Her favorite pastimes are a good old game of ball or frisbee, taking long walks, retrieving her floating toys from any body of water she can swim in, and looking for squirrels. She is currently retired from coursing but still likes to race.

Biography: Riley is our speedy, couch-potato boy. When he is not lounging on the couch, he loves to be out chasing bunnies. He earned his ASFA FCH in March 1999. He was the #2 LGRA Ridgeback for 2000 and 2001, being the 7th Ridgeback to earn a gazehound racing champion GRC title in LGRA and the only RR to accomplish this in just three meets. He was the #6 all-breed LGRA dog in 2001 as well. He was the #6 NOTRA ridgeback in 2000, but is too darn smart to continue racing ovals. He cheats, since he figured out it is shorter to run through the middle (bad boy) then to go all the way around. He also trains and competes in agility, as well as training in obedience, which isn’t his favorite but he tries most of the time.
