From time to time we have the option of placing a retired show or coursing dog in a retirement environment. Currently (12/12/07), Kushinda has several Ridgeback available for placement in homes with a fenced yard (some are featured below): Bewitched, Kaleekee, Obenauf, and Polonius. As I update this page with information and pictures, please don't hestitate to call and discuss a possible adoption of a Kushinda Ridgeback (maybe one not featured on this page). I can usually be reached after dark at 304 825-6105. If you don't reach me please drop us an email at Kammi@pobox.com so we can return your contact. Forget the house training, forget the crate training, it's already done! Yes, it's possible that you could be the next proud owner of a Kushinda Ridgeback! If you have a fenced in yard and lots of love, don't wait any longer! Become part of the winning Kushinda Teanm today! At this time it's a good idea to read more Kushinda Philosophies to answer many of your questions. Then, if you are seriously interested in a Kushinda Puppy/Dog, please visit Kushinda's Relevant Documents page. Download the Interview Sheet and Sample Contract. Read each document. Complete the Interview Sheet and contact us to discuss the adoption. If you might be interested in a young puppy, please visit Kushinda's Available Puppies, or if you are intersted in adopting an older Kushinda dog (retired Champions), please visit Kushinda's Available Older Dogs. We will be showing and lure
coursing in the MD, NJ, PA, and VA

please contact us to join the Kushinda-List (a Ridgeback discussion list) to

Zohr began his couring career last year (2003) at Hanovor, PA - Labor Day Weekend. He earned his first JC leg! With a strong man handling him, he may continue his career. He is crate trained, rides in the van just fine and is generally an all round poweful Ridgeback! He loves to play and would do well as a companion for your current Ridgeback. Zohr is neutered. He is all Rdigeback and requires a knowledgable owner.
He will make an excellent companion!

"The Rhodesian Ridgeback was developed in Rhodesia by the Boer Farmers. He was bred to survive the rigors of harsh country and climate where only the fittest survived. He had to be easy to care for and inexpensive to maintain. The Boer required a good hunting dog with stamina to travel long distances over varied terrain to locate game. Once the game was sighted, the dog had to have enough remaining endurance to, in the case of large dangerous game (lions and the like), corner it and be agile enough to escape injury while holding the quarry at bay."¹ After the hunt however, the Boer expected his dog to remain at his side as a loyal companion, on guard constantly protecting not only his family but his livestock and property as well.
At The Lion Hounds of Kushinda, we strive to produce this "fully-Functional Ridgeback" that is able to demonstrate the requirments of the Boer Farmer, by avidly competing in agility, conformation, lure coursing, obedience, and tracking; as well as serving mankind as registered Therapy Dogs.

At Kushinda we place each puppy in a suitably matched home.
