Hello Smink Fam,

Although I've never known Batido his sudden loss in such a sad way, it just breaks my heart. I wish that the family of Batido gets thru this hard period and wish his pups all the best.
Such accidents frighten me, and I can only hope we will be spared of it!

Lovely greetings to you and the gang,
Ellen

The pictures of the puppies are amazing t!!!

hello,
I just wanted to say- you have great ridgeback ! I really like your doggies very much and I wish you the best of luck with your beautiful females :-)
in the future.

Best regards
Babs & Nsoah

A big hug & congrats with the new litter!
The puppies look fabulous!
Let's meet & greet soon @ Stekene!
Big paw from Hektor & Co

Liefste mama (Atiya),
Gisteren was mijn verjaardag, maar vandaag verdien jij een hele dikke natte lik van mij en een stevige poot voor je verjaardag.
Liefs van héél de familie Schuermans xxx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MOM (Atiya) !

I wish you many further years of wellbeing....hope you'll enjoy a wonderfull birthday today with the whole gang !

sending my big love
Hodari (Yellow)

Wraf...wraf...wraf... It's my birthday !!!
Ik ben vandaag 1 jaar geworden. Ik ben uitgegroeid tot een fantastische, mooie, lieve en héél speelse Ridgeback van 36 kg en 73 cm schofthoogte.
Ik lig heel graag bij mijn gezinnetje in de woonkamer, of spelen in de tuin, maar helemaal gek ben ik op een leuke boswandeling. Ik ga nu in Juli voor het eerst op vakantie en kan dan misschien wel gaan zwemmen met mijn baasje. (weer een nieuwe uitdaging...hahaha) Kortom ik voel me hier super in Turnhout. Wil je enkele foto's van mij zien? Dat kan op www.hondenpage.com
Lieve groetjes van ons allemaal en een nat likje en stevige poot van Ilo.
(Tom, Nanda, Kevin, Chloë, Yenti, Ophélie)

Big congratulations with your lovely litter! All the best growing up big and strong! What a joy to the mom and all of you!

Regards,
Asta and the ridgies

Ilanga was very pleased to hear about her aunty and all her puppies; she wishes all of you many happy days to come.

Hoi hoi,

Ten eerste mijn complimenten voor jullie website, heb er enorm van genoten.

Pas toen ik op het kopje van het gastenboek klikte en jullie foto op de achtergrond zag, besefte ik dat ik jullie al vaak ben tegengekomen o.a. op shows, maar ook in de Efteling!

Veel plezier op de shows en succes met de eventuele aankomende nesten!

Groetjes Pascalle

Hi Everybody,

Just letting you all know that we are very happy with White & Shyraz(Rainbow) from the I litter. Yesyes, we decided to take home a second RR. And we haven't regrait it! To can play so nicely together and then fall asleep. It's really funny watching them.
We began to take them to dogschool, not as simple but we're not giving up ;)
Anyhow lots of greetings from Bart, Ellen, Shyraz &White. xxx

Dear Family of van de Eyssel Hoeve
First of all: many thanks for this lovely tribute to Hidaya on your website. In fact, this is very important for us because this is the motivation to continue in this hard environment of the show ring. And you can really be proud of your little "Peach-Girl". Not only because she is so beautiful, also because she is an absolutely dream with her social competencies. She has the right temperament and the charisma which is expected from a RR bich. And we also can confirm as we've promised you from the first day on, that we will love her what ever we have to do for her.
Best regards
Hidaya, Bantu, Sidney, Jean-Michel & Jasmine

Congratulations to all the brothers and sisters of Hedaya! (Green girl of the H (B) litter.) Time flies, one year old already!!

With love, Kim

i was here Again!!!

Dear Patricia & family,

I enjoyed it to see the development of Atiya's I-puppies! It was fun to find out wich puppies looked like the ones of Atiya's H-litter last year. At the photo's especially Red-girl looks a lot like Zaro! She has the same dark mask and beautifull dark eyebrows! So I'm 200% positive that she will turn into a beautifull Ridgeback too!!!! And I think that's the puppy you and your family chose to stay with you :-) I'm very sorry to hear about the 3 puppies that died. Especially Kiwi, 'cause he was one of my favorites too. I saw in this guestbook that one puppy went to Turnhout (that's very close to us). I can't wait to read where all of Zaro's other brothers and sisters of the I-litter moved to. Who knows, maybe some day he even meets his family.
Hope you had fun with the I-litter and enjoy your newest familymember!!!!!
Much love, Zaro, Ellen & family

Hey there,

Just letting everyone know that we have such a great pup right now, all thanks to the good caring and loving Smink family! All the effort and work they put in their dogs, is really showing off now!

We were so happy to hear from Patricia, that we could take home Shyraz ( Rainbow from the I litter ). He turned out to be a beautiful doggie with a great personality. He is very cute and cuddly but when he has had a good nap and is all awake, he can be a serious play devil, very funny to watch him.

We just wanted to thank Patricia, Ole and the kids for all the good work !
I hope all the pups are having a good home by now.

P.s. Patricia, I send you some photo's, hope you got them ;)

Friendly greetings to all,
Bart & Ellen.

Dankzij Atiya & Bukuru hebben wij nu een ongelooflijk mooie en lieve pup genaamd ILO, bij de bezoekers van deze site bekend als Blueblue (I-litter). Héél veel goede, nuttige en interessante info gekregen van Patricia & Ole. Jullie maakten onze droom waar...!!! Ook genoten wij en onze kids van de verschillende (leerzame) bezoekjes en telden af tot de dag dat we hem konden ophalen. Hij voelde zich onmiddellijk thuis bij ons. Het geduld dat jullie hadden met de pups werpt nu zijn vruchten af. Prachtig werk geleverd!!! Waarvoor onze dank aan héél het gezin, zeker ook de kids die nu in de vakantie konden helpen. De 4 extra handen van de kids waren zeker geen overbodige luxe bij zo een grote nest. Tot ziens, mails of horens. Groetjes uit Turnhout, een nat likje en stevige poot van ILO.

Hi Smink-Family,

Hi Patricia Ole,
It has been a long time since I've left the Eysselhoeve. (dec 08)
I'm becoming a strong & handsome guy :-
Let's fix a date soon! I'll ask my secretary to give you a call :-)
The new website looks very nice....it's cool to see my mother, brother & sisters.
I'm really looking forward to see you again...
A big hug from Hektor - the coolest dog @ Stekene

Dear Mom,
It's been a long time since we talked, but we both have been very busy...
You moved and I grew up, it means I have every day so much to do and to discover...
Everything is really fine, I love life, I've been a nice puppy and I'm still such a nice teenager ! I go to school twice a week and I have many friends.
Great news, on the first of June, it means next week, I go to my first official presentation... to the BRRC, I am already quite nervous, I really hope I'll be ok. Anyway, I'll let you know after.
Big hug to you and all the family all over the world,
Haschich

Hi
Your website just gets better and better! Finlay, from Atiya's first litter, is thrilled to learn that he will be having even more half-siblings. Finlay, is strong, gorgeous and regal (stops everyone on the street - we try not to be biased!) yet as sweet as a lamb and a great friend to many a dog and child. Still giving big kisses and playful at the age of 2 (and three quarters)!!! Aitya, what a wonderful set of traits you have passed on. Best wishes with your next litter of puppies. Big RR hug to Bo, too!

Hi Mom
Again you met my dad for further siblings. That was the opportunity for me to present me as a little young lady to my breeder Patricia. Hope she was satisfied with my development. In the meantime I was in Strasbourg and I was placed in the youth class with an excellent 4. Hope you are a little proud about me.
Love
Hidaya
