Remon introduces himself:

I am married, have one son and have been a Rhodesain Ridgeback lover and breeder since 1976.

My interest in the Thai Ridgeback breed started in 1991. I was doing a research about the ridge that is placed on the back of the Rhodesian Ridgeback. According to the lituratur there should be an Island named Phu Quoc in Vietnam where excistence of a dog with the same ridge should be found. Once preparing for my major trip to this Island in 1991 a fellow friendmember of the RRCN told me he had spoken with a vetwho had worked in Thailand for a while. This vet had also spoken about dogs with a ridge on their back. This short story is the beginning of my interest and involvement in the Thai Ridgeback breed. During my first trip in 1991 to Vietnam and Thailand I planned to import the first Thai Ridgeback (male) named Hintza. My seccond Thai ridgeback was imported in 1992 and was a female named Kabusha. I have started to promote the Thai Ridgeback breed with these 2 dogs within the Netherlands and abroard. My final result is the start of the TRCN, where I may do the honnors of Chairman with great pleasure. So in 2011 it has been 20 years ago that the first Thai Ridgeback had set foot onto Dutch grounds and it means for me that I have been traveling To Thailand eversince to see Thai Ridgebacks at dogshows and meet Thai Ridgeback breeders. I am thankfull to still have many good contacts thanks to my envolvement in the brred. Though I must say that I have not been visiting many dogshows and breeders in Thailand for the las 4 years. This because importing a dog from Thailand has been made more complicated and also that a puppy should be at least 7 months of age before it may leave the country. This because of strikt bloodexamples and that takes a lot of time. So now I am more into making the plans to settle in Thailand once a may stop working.

In 2000 my wife asked my opinion about the Thai Ridgeback Breed. At first it seemed a great dog to get, but then we discovered how difficult it was to own one. Because of this challenge, its extraordinary character and the Thai Ridgeback Club this breed became one of my hobbies. I love the dogs, the contact with the people and therefore hope to see our number of memberships grow these upcomming years.
