A tribute to
Makimba Mtendaji
"Kenya"

Photo taken in 1994


Born : 27 November 1989          Died : 3 July 2003 ( aged nearly 14 years )


From the beginning to the end of her long life,
Kenya was always a true lady -
elegant, cool and very refined.

 
At 10 weeks, assuming correctly
that she was entitled to sit where she liked.

 
At 5 months, with her sister Mzuri respectfully in the background.

Her very limited show career included great success under two Breed Specialist judges :

RUNNER-UP BEST IN SHOW
and RUNNER-UP BEST HEAD
at the 2nd Rhodesian Ridgeback National in May 1994
Judge : Mrs Barbara Sawyer-Brown ( USA )
The photo at the top of the page was taken in the same year

and

BEST IN GROUP
at the Fremantle All Breeds Championship Show in May 1991
Judge : Myron Arthur ( NSW ).
She was 18 months old at the time, as in this photo
with her owner, handler and personal assistant :

 

 

Kenya was from the same litter as , so her pedigree can be seen here :

"Jenny, Amanda and Zu all miss you, Kenny. "
