Kennel Shavano is a small kennel, situated just outside Oslo (NORWAY). Our names are : John Anders, Hanne and our son Tim Sebastian.

We have been active Ridgeback owners since the early 90’s and had our first litter in 1996. Our major passion is dog-show's, not just for the show itself, but also because of the social aspect. We will of course hope to find families for our puppies both in people who don't have the same passion for dog-show's as us, and people who do. This because we feel the Ridgeback can be a very good breed in many other fields. We have participated in a lot of these ourselves, for example: Obediance, agility, tracking, and of course as a great companion for long trips in the beautiful Norwegian landscape.

It is very important for us to be able to maintain a certain amount of contact with people who end up being a proud owner of a Shavano Ridgeback. This to hear how everything is going, for both the family, and their new family member, and perhaps be of some kind of help in case of any problems. We will always try our very best to make sure the puppies have a close "follow up".

Our aim with breeding is to enhance the breed, as we also maintain the standard. We wish to breed healthy, sound dogs with a good temperament, where the exterior comes in addition. We have been to mentality tests with our dogs from our very first ridgebacks and as far as possible, we try to mental test all our breedings.
