Nkosi Sikelele African Lubaya was born in 2005 on March 19th in a litter of ten (5/5). She is a medium-sized bitch and shows a deep red-wheaten colour. Her trademark is her “white sock” on her left fore-paw.

Lubaya is our first Ridgeback and at the time of her birth we had the wish for a family-dog, we never thought about entering dog-shows or even breeding. So we decided to give little lady “purple” a loving home, she has a kinky tail and is not allowed for breeding.

Lubaya is distinctive – with her calm, easy-going nature she makes everyone loving her at first sight. She is the sweetheart of all visitors and relatives, all kids want to take her home and cuddle her all day J Because of Lubaya´s awesome character we fell in love with this breed and were infested with the well known Ridgeback-fever - that will never be cured ;-)

Lubaya is - and will always be – the undisputable top dog of our pack and with her brainpower she is often the winner of the “battle for the best place in front of the fireplace” :-) Her job is escorting her half-sister Zazu to dog-shows and she loves it, because she only has to hang around and then, after a hard day, enjoy the biscuits :-)

When Lubaya meets other dogs the situation is axiomatic unstressed and uncomplicated – it doesn´t care if she meets a bitch, a dog, a smaller or a bigger one – she loves them all :-)  - straightforward Lubi-like! She loves long walks, especially excursions with the bikes are her favourite leisure activity. She shows just a little ambition to hunt, after a short sprint she accepts, that she won´t catch the rabbit and capitulates. Clever dog :-)
