kayin 6 months"Kayin" is a Swahili boy name for "long awaited one"   As it took two years after the time we decided on a RR to the time we found the perfect puppy.    We finally found him @ RR Rescue and drove to Kentucky to get him.

Kayin was our first Ridgeback and was our first experience with a RR puppy and he taught us why all the books tell of their stubbornness and how they are not the breed for everyone.  He was adopted from RR rescue at the age of 10 weeks.  His story is that a backyard breeder from Kentucky had a litter accidentally when his bitch "got out." He kept the pick male pup for himself and dumped all the flawed pups.  Kayin is a very dark color called black wheaton.  See other unusual RR colors. Both of Kayin's sisters were normal colors but had other flaws. One sister was born Ridgeless and his other sister had a dermoid.  The dermoid was removed by RR Rescue and both pups found wonderful homes here in Michigan. 

Kayin is a very gentle and sweet dog.  He is very smart and learned so quickly we could hardly keep up.  He made us so proud that we wanted to show him in performance events to encourage more people to rescue.  Judging by all his titles I think we made an impression.
