Hector van de Eyssel Hoeve
Dark Blue Male. Red Wheaten colour. Beautiful face with mask. Dark Eye, scissor bite, small white breast spot. Good tail placement, both testicles present. Deep and wide chest. Ridge good length. Off-set crown. Very attractive male with wonderful front and back angulation. No sinus present.
Dark Blue is a very active male that likes to play rough. He is normally found chasing after one of the children looking for some action. He had a beautiful deep red colour right from birth and with the dark mask he is definitely a beauty. To top things off he has a fantastic build. He will make a great playmate and pet.
Hector is going to a home with another ridgeback playmate that is his half sister. Her name is Fee van de Eyssel Hoeve and she is from the "F" litter in 2006. I will visit this family in the new year and get some pictures of my beautiful "Dark Blue Boy" and "Red Girl." In addition to Fee he will have a handful of great kids to pamper him and a hobby farm full of animals to pester. It doesn't get any better!
Hatari van de Eyssel Hoeve
Navy Blue Male. Red Wheaten colour. Very elegant male with a beautiful head and dark mask. No white. Dark eyes. Correct ears. Perfect ridge with large box and parallel crowns. Both testicles present. Tail correct. Nice tight feet. Very well developed angels front and back. Very good chest deep and wide. Dry and elegant neckline. He is very beautiful. Very dynamic male.
Navy Blue is the busiest puppy in the litter. He never gets enough running, attacking, chasing or wrestling. He is an energized dog that will need a firm hand for training. He is also very sweet and has his mothers features. He needs to learn the phrase "Enough Already!"
Hatari is going to a very dedicated family in Germany. He will be their first Ridgeback. He is destined for the show ring and Natalia can't wait to get him home! This family travelled once a week from Germany to see him for four weeks! He will have an 11 year old boy to entertain and Hatari is definitely the dog for the job!
Hakuru van de Eyssel Hoeve
Teal Male. Red Wheaten, strong male, wonderful head with shadow mask. Scissor bite, very good ear placement. Small white breast spot. Correct tail, beautiful long ridge, large box, parallel crowns. Both testicles present. Large deep chest. Small crown on head. Very good angulation front and back. Correct tail. Very attractive dog. No sinus present.
Hakuru is staying in Belgium and will be the first Ridgeback for a lovely young family. They have a 6 year old boy that is very enthusiastic and excited about the new family member. Hakuru will also make a debut in the show ring when he's ready. They will have their hands full with him but they have waited patiently for a very long time and they deserve a great dog!
Hifadhi van de Eyssel Hoeve
Baby Blue Male. Dark Red Wheaten. Strong male, pleasant head with mask. Dark eyes, correct ears, scissor bite, no white, very well developed front and rear. Large and deep chest. Both testicles present. Correct tail. Wonderful long ridge with large box. Crowns are minimally offset but withing standard tolerance. Good under and top line. Good closed feet. No sinus present.
Baby Blue is the biggest puppy in the litter. He is also the darkest male and has a beautiful coat of fur. He spends much of his time....growing! He loves to play and is just starting to realize that size can mean an advantage. He is a little big akward still and tires fairly quickly. He will need time to fulfill his potential. I think he will grow into a stunning ridgeback.
Hifadhi is going to live in Nederland with a really nice couple. He will also take a turn in the show ring. It will take time for him to mature due to his size. When he's ready he will accompany his family on long hikes and walks and will probably get to travel. His family has waited many years for a Ridgeback and I think that this dog will exceed their expectations. He is adorable!
Forest van de Eyssel Hoeve
Forest Green Male. Red Wheaten, elegant male with beautiful head and shadow mask. Dark eye, no white, good ear placement, scissor bite. Wide and deep chest, super front and developed angulation. Correct tail. Wonderful ridge, small box, minimal offset crown within tolerance. Only one dropped testicle. No sinus present. Very friendly attractive male.
Forest is a beautiful male. He loves to be where the people are and is very gentle and consistent. He does not demand attention but he is always within arms reach if you want to pick him up. He is always the first male to greet me when I enter the kennel and can always be found standing between your legs waiting for you to notice him. This dog will make an excellent family pet and should his testicle drop into position, a great show dog too.
Forest is reserved pending the dropping of his testicle.
Teal is a busy boy and is normally found somewhere chewing on something. He is friendly and sweet and likes to use his teeth.... a lot! He is going to a family that is active and has a little boy to keep him entertained.
Hazaro van de Eyssel Hoeve
Grass Green Male. Red Wheaten, dark mask, small white breast spot. Beautiful head, dark eye, scissor bite, correct length of ridge with four crowns. Tail correct, ears correct, feet correct. Both testicles present. Very good angulation front and rear. Deep and large chest. No sinus present.
Hazaro will be the first Ridgeback for a very nice family in Belgium. He will stay with us until September and I can assure you that they will have to pry him from my "death grip!" He is very strong and gentle and unbelievably sweet! They will give him attention and dedication and he will reward them amply.
Grass is a "gentle giant" in this litter. He is so sweet and friendly and loving. I absolutely adore this puppy! He loves to have human contact but is still very happy to amuse himself with the toys provided. I should have called him Emerald as he is a gem of a dog.
Hodari van de Eyssel Hoeve
Yellow male. Red Wheaten fine elegant male. Wonderful head with shadow mask. Dark eye, good ear placement, broad deep chest. Beautiful long ridge, large box and parallel crowns. Correct tail, good angulation front and rear. Closed toes, no white, correct scissor bite, no sinus present. Very beautiful male.
Yellow is basically a "nice guy". He spends his time playing with toys and digging in the sandbox and doing some general exploration. He rarely attackes his siblings and only fights when provoked. He loves to sneak into the house and take over the biggest and nicest dog bed he can find. He will leave the other puppies to try and engage the big dogs to play with him yet he knows when to back -off if they are not interested.
Hodari is going to Germany to a family that has been waiting a very long time to get him home. He is destined for the show ring and will probably do a fair bit of traveling. Hodari's owner came to visit and had a "love at first sight" experience with this pup. They are meant for each other and I think she will find that her very long and painful wait for her Ridgeback was worth it. He is Bukuru's son in both physical traits and personality. He will be cherished!
This page contains the official evaluations of the puppies by the Belgian Ridgeback Club and the Swiss Ridgeback Club.
Following the remarks and findings of the evaluations is a paragraph dedicated to my personal feeling about the puppy character.
Under the pictures is a short description of the respective new families of each puppy.
Hedaja van de Eyssel Hoeve
Fucia Female. Red Wheaten elegant bitch with wonderful face. Shadow mask, correct ears, correct bite, dark eyes, Wide but shallow chest. Wonderful ridge with large box and parallel crowns. Very good angulation front and rear. Tail correct, feet correct. No sinus present. Very calm and beautiful bitch
Fucia is a very sweet and gentle female. She loves to be handled and cuddled and will seek out physical attention whenever possible. She likes to play with her siblings but never strays too far away from her human family. She is so photogenic and feminine.
Hedaja is going to a family that lost a very beautiful ridgeback named Coco to old age. This family was waiting on a puppy from this litter long before Atiya and Bukuru were even mated. It was going to be a tall order to fill. There are three children in Hedaja's new family and I have no doubt that her relationship with them will blossom and fill the void left by Coco. Some things were meant to be and this match is one of them.
Hangelina van de Eyssel Hoeve
Lilac Female. Red Wheaten elegant and feminine bitch with no mask. Very beautiful head, correct ears, correct scissor bite, very small breast fleck. Beautiful long ridge with large box and parallel crowns. Very good angulation front and rear. Nice wide but shallow chest. Tail injury due to breakage close to implant. No sinus present . Very friendly and active bitch.
Lilac is the lightest in colour of the females. She has a wonderful Bukuru look to her face and a stellar personality. She likes to play with the toys and the ball always looks better when someone else is playing with it! She is very active when she is playing but settles very quickly when picked up or handled. She is my oldest son's favorite puppy
Angie is going to a young family with two girls in Paris. At three days of age Atiya stepped on her tail and broke it badly. Angie was very lucky and didn't sustain any nerve damage to her tail. It has healed well and although still noticeable at times she has regained full mobility and recovery. She is going into very capable and caring hands and will have much love and attention from the new little girls in her life. I think she will make them very happy.
Heidi van de Eyssel Hoeve
Pink Female. Red Wheaten, elegant feminine bitch. Nice head with shadow mask. Dark eye, correct ears, wide and deep chest. Very good angulation front and rear. Correct tail. Ridge is good length with a large box. Minimal offset crown within standard tolerance. Very good neck and line. No sinus present. Active bitch.
Pink is an active and independent female. She is very strong and capable and will not hesitate to challenge her brothers physically. She has a lovely expressive face and is very playful and lively. She spends most of her playtime entertaining herself and exploring on her own. She is friendly and easy and is less likely to seek attention than her sisters.
Hidaya van de Eyssel Hoeve

Crowns minimally offset within standard tolerance. Wide and deep chest. Very good angulation front and rear. Dry and elegant neckline. No sinus present. Very attractive and secure bitch.
