Hello and Welcome to Sunrij Rhodesian Ridgebacks We would like to introduce ourselves, We are Peter and Kim Bell and we are a small kennel located in Western Sydney.
Our love and involvement with Ridgebacks began in 2002 with the purchase of Billy.

Whilst only with us for three short years,
(unfortunately having passed with lymphoma cancer)
He holds a very special place in our hearts and the choice of name for our kennel prefix is in loving memory of him.
"Always in our hearts and never forgotten!"
October 2009 brings a fresh start and a new begining with the arrival of Shona's second litter, This litter will be the first registered under the Sunrij Prefix, with this litter comes the first home bred addition to our show team (Chyna), October also see's a slight change in direction for us with the birth of Tarla at Sixemm Rhodesian Ridgebacks the first Liver nose addition to our show team. Tarla also adds much anticipated African liver lines to expand on our future breeding plans. Many Thanks to Nerida of Sixemm rhodesian ridgebacks for allowing this delightful young lady to make Sunrij her home.

We also have a pet girl Bella, she is a ridgie cross, who we rescued from the animal welfare league in march 2003, when Billy was only 6 months old. She accompanies us to all our dog shows both local and interstate, bringing us much love and joy, with a fondness for the trailer, she much prefers to travel in "Her" trailer than in the car.
Our family would not be complete without our five beautiful ridgies!
