NL – Paerdecroon

We are thrilled to announce that the planned rendezvous between @Hello and Krizz has been successful. <3 Krizz has been confirmed in whelp, if all may go well, the puppy’s will be expected early march 2026

Paerdecroon is a renowned Dutch kennel run by Henk and Edith Salm. That Henk—an internationally respected judge and breed specialist of the Rhodesian Ridgeback—has chosen our @Hello is a tremendous compliment. On the Paerdecroon Facebook page, the careful reasoning behind this choice is beautifully described:

Announcement of the Paerdecroon S-litter

With great joy, we announce the Paerdecroon S-litter, a highly promising combination of Livernose Rules Otello (@Hello) and Paerdecroon Kindness Krizia (Krizz). This match is particularly meaningful to us, not only because of the impressive pedigrees, but also due to the personal connections we have with many Ridgebacks from both lines—dogs we have met ourselves, together with their breeders and owners.

@Hello is a stable, friendly male whose temperament perfectly aligns with our vision. His sire, Multi Champion Kitoko Auksinis Feniksas, is a favorite within our kennel and also the sire of the Paerdecroon L-litter, from which Paerdecroon Legendary Lott (dam of the Paerdecroon Q-litter) descends.

@Hello’s dam, Multi Champion Ave Caesar Driving Me Onwards (Duba), originates from the renowned Swedish Ave-Caesar kennel and is among the most decorated Ridgebacks in Europe. From Duba’s first litter came Livernose Rules Laurent Perrier (Maan). Maan later produced the Paerdecroon O-litter (with Paerdecroon Henorr’s Hilfiger), from which our champions Paerdecroon Olympic Onyx and Paerdecroon Olympic Olyve descend, as well as the R-litter (with Paerdecroon Baron Borg), producing our youngest star Paerdecroon Royal Rafa Nadal.

Krizz’s sire, Multi Champion Skallbjörnens Goliat Lejonhjärta, is a magnificent male with strong movement and a well-balanced character. Krizz’s dam, NJK Paerdecroon Grand Duchess Gaby, is now a veteran and still an integral part of our pack. In 2023, Krizz produced her first litter, the Paerdecroon P-litter, from which Paerdecroon Pride Prada has remained with us.

As a result, there are (in)direct descendants of @Hello’s sire Kitoko, his dam Duba, as well as Krizz and Maan present within the Paerdecroon kennel.

The exceptionally low inbreeding coefficient of the puppies from the combination of @Hello and Krizz makes this pairing truly special: 0% up to the 5th generation and only 0.93% up to the 9th generation. This significantly increases the likelihood of healthy, vital puppies with strong genetic diversity.

This combination brings together everything we look for in a Ridgeback: beautiful conformation, stable temperaments, good movement, proven bloodlines, and a solid genetic foundation. We are grateful that Bonnie, owner of @Hello, shares our trust and has made him available for Krizz.

There is little I can add to this. I believe these two dogs complement each other exceptionally well. In Krizz’s pedigree, many dogs appear whom I have personally come to know. The maternal line traces back to Shana Fan Ûnder De Mûne, the mother of our Mischa.
