About us....

We, Monika and Peter Pehr, are living in a small village with around 200 people about 25 km easterly of Ingolstadt in beautiful Bavaria.

Our Ridgeback females Kimba, her daughter Alika, her Granddaughter Trinity, our studdog Ben and of course our Arabian horses Morabh and Paproc as well as the Trakehner mare Sissi belong to our family.

We saw our first Ridgebacks in the year 1997, during an Arabian horse show, and were immediately absolutely enthusiastic. After we have informed us about this breed it was certain for us: the Ridgeback is the right dog for us. In summer 1998, nearly one year later Kimba came to us as a puppy of 9 weeks of age.

At the end of the year 2000, our Kennel name was registered: Thuraia, this means translated "Star of my life".In spring 2001 Kimba got her first litter. The sire was the Canadian male Yankee (Witches LeCreme's Trick). From this litter we kept her daughter Alika. Her second litter two years later was by Aliko (Tumalanga Aliko).

Alika had her first litter in 2004 by Jack (Eilack Thsombe). Two years later we planned Alika's second litter - a insemination with frozen semen by Austr.Gr.Ch. Axle (Skiska Solitaire Jest). Tinity was the result of this insemination, and of course we kept her because she was the only puppy we got.

In March 2009 Ben came from Croatia to us. He is a marvelous dog!

From our G-litter in the year 2011 we kept a male puppy. Spencer is now our newest family member and now our Ridgeback-Famliy is complete!
