Ben is a multiple "Group Winner" and was ranked as the #5 Ridgeback (AKC breed points) in the United States in 2007. His conformational excellence is matched with a stable and loving temperament. These traits were carried forward in two earlier litters Ben produced with Sengei's Skye of Tam Lyn, with one champion and one pointed dog already resulting from the first litter. Skye is a genetic sibling to Madison, and is one reason we have high expectations for the pups that will result from the recent breeding with Ben.

Madison is a medium wheaton female who, like Ben, possesses both sound conformation and a loving temperament. Keenly intelligent, Madison started showing only this past year and quickly "pointed out" (including one Best of Breed win). She requires only one more "major" win to complete her championship. Note that Madison is N/N and does not carry the recessive gene that is responsible for degenerative myelopathy - a progressive debilitating neurological disorder that strikes dogs late in life. Since Madison does not carry the DM gene, none of the pups she produces will be at risk for this disease. DM genetic test results on Ben have just been completed and indicate he is N/A (a carrier), meaning that half of the pups should be N/N and half N/A..
