Champion Nambala Ngambwe - BIS at the Rhodesian Ridgeback Championship Show - Sunday 16th February 2003.
Judge: Mrs Di Jolly, shown here by Damian Nunns.

Champion Nambala Ngambwe "A 3-1/2year old wheaten dog. Of maximum height with the correct moderate boning as required. Excellent length of neck, good layback of shoulder, level topline, good depth of chest, low hock, correct croup and tail carriage. Good dark eyes and correct length of muzzle, but needs a slightly larger ear carried closer to the head and I would like to see more strength in underjaw. A very well balanced and mature dog that I feel would be capable of the agility and endurance the breed required. He became my Best Dog and then went on to Best in Show and 1st Best Mover Over 12 months. He represents the handsome upstanding dog that the standard writes about and he is a worthy winner of this award - He was an easy winner in the line-up. He represents a strong muscular, active dog that appears as if he would be capable of endurance and agility in the field. I feel he is in the correct height/weight ratio as required in the standard and he is very well presented by his handler"

Critique excerpts of the remaining family members:

Nambala Rubanza".......excellent coat condition ......... Correct size and boning for a male, ...........Dark eye, good ear carriage and excellent length of neck. This dog was excellently balanced on the move. Topline, tail carriage excellent. The best reach and drive of any dog on the day, with that slightly springy, straighforward free and active gait that is called for in our breed. He went on to be the Reserve Dog and NZ Bred in Show and 1st Best Mover Under 12 months"
Nambala Sekani"..... Very nice head, dark eyes and muzzle, good ear set and bite...........topline and depth of chest are good. He has correct rear angulation, excellent croup and tail carriage and moved soundly..........."
Nambala Okaputa"...... Good ridge, correct coat. A very well balanced dog with excellent breed type........... His head is good type.............."
Champion Haarlem N'Bala of Sarabi (Sire of the Best in Show winner)"...... Very well balanced, with good front, topline, tail carriage and angulation. He has a strong masculine head.............Sound mover. Correct boning and an overall sound and well balanced dog. Best Stud Dog and 1st Best Head Dog"
Nambala Ramla"........Good head proportions, lovely dark eyes.............Excellent length of neck, flowing into a level topline..........."
Champion Nambala Quela".........Good size and boning, elegantly feminine but with the strength the breed requires...........well angulated rear. Excellent topline, croup and tail set. Lovely depth of chest. Good ridge............2nd Best Mover Over 12 months"
