Sabrina - skypinda princess talula
I fell for this girl as soon as i met her and have not looked back since,she has a great personality and blends in well with our whole family.
Out of all of the girls she is the most affectionate as well as being the biggest mummies baby around often refusing to go with anyone but me.
A Ridgeback is a breed of complete opposite sides, there is the sleepy docile side then once open ground is seen it turns in to the energetic hunter that we all imagine with owning a hound.
My girls are either asleep or running round the woods they have there own order in which they sleep and play, sabrina sleeps on top of poor kylie even tho she is the larger of the three Ridgies and when they are out running she is the one who loves to run around us all in a circle
.
I wish when we walked together without the other dogs that she would take off but she is happy trotting along with mum enjoying the sounds and smells of the country side.
When all the girls do hit hunt mode Kylie is the seeker and marker and runner in dense ground but when in open ground Sabrina will take over showing the most amazing speed and agility, i do my best to let my girls work as i believe to own a hound and not let them use there given talents is cruel and makes for an unhappy dog but on the other hand i dont actually want them getting hold of anything so we try to balance it out and i think we have this almost rite as all my girls seem to be well settled and happy.
Sabs has been shown very lightly as she had a bad experience in her first show which has stuck with her at times, although she has matured very slowly she has still received great comments from other ridgie owners and has been placed in most of the shows she has enterd
My hopes are that she will have a few more good experiences and get in to the swing of it if not then we will retire her from showing, I do want her to carry on but i do not want my girls to do anything that makes them unhappy even once a year.
Sabrina at home is so laid back and friendly to anyone she meets here and is a true credit to the breed in a home environment.
My biggest regret is not going to ring craft so i could build up my own confidence as i often feel i let sabs down so i am now working hard on stopping those nerves going down the lead to her.
The biggest problem with Sabrina is anyone who meets her here wants to take her home.
