Hekla was born at kennel Uwanja’s in Finland as one of two correct bitches in a litter of 10 (5 livernosed) to the stunning Russian male “Boy” – MultiCh Rayridge Jared Boleyd and the lovely livernosed “Kila” – Uwanja’s Kilasi Ya Kwanza.
When my late bitch Misti suddenly died in may 2018 I was contacted by Jari & Minna Fält, kennel Uwanja’s. They had a littermate to my Misti – “Nala”. They told me that they had a litter that were just born – to Nalas daughters daughter Kila and that if I were interested – they would spare me a correct bitch (they were keeping the other one of them for themselves).
I wasn’t really looking for a new dog at that time but the offer was too good to pass up and that is how Hekla came to live with us.
Hekla was a very stubborn, brave and hard-headed puppy. I have had RR’s since 1991 and still I was surprised of how much work, comparing to all my other ridgebacks, this little one was.
As an adult – Hekla is the best dog anyone could have. She is a true ridgeback. Calm, regal, sweet natured and with lots of integrity. She gets along with everyone and everything – whether it is people, other dogs, cats or horses. She doesn’t hunt and barks very seldom. She is a true joy and it seems she passes on her excellent temperament to her offspring.
Hekla is the dam of our dam of our Flowers-litter 2022. >> and our High-life litter 2024. >>. Hekla is now retired from breeding and is a highly beloved family member who prefers to stroll in the woods or to sunbathe.
