About us

Founded in 1964, the Midlands & Northern Rhodesian Ridgeback Club was the first, of the four UK breed Clubs, to gain Championship status. The Club has an extensive membership, including international members, and aims to be welcoming and supportive for all members, not only those from the showing world. The Club currently holds two Championship Shows and two Open Shows each year, with one of our Open Shows held in aid of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Welfare Trust. We also provide Seminars, Breed Appreciation Days, fun events, virtual competitions, newsletters and much more.
