In love with our dogs
Lela Treščec
owner
I am a professional veggie, vegetarian cook and energy shiatsu therapist.
I am in love with animal world and nature and this is why enjoy living with my Rhodesians.
After three generations of Dobermans I grew up with, the first time I saw Ridgeback I fell completely in love with the breed. I realized that totally suits me and decided to get one. I waited the litter for almost two years for my first bitch Tara to come into my life.
Getting to know the breed through coexistence with Tara I realized that Ridgebacks are exactly what I needed in my life so I decided to start up the kennel.
Tara and my other Ridgebacks were the reason why I later also decided to move away from the city and live in nature. I learned from my dogs that I also need nature to feel alive.
They learned me become a better person and to live simple in harmony and accordance with natural laws.
I have special bond with animals and feel I understand them sometimes much better than people and this is why I dream about to be an animal therapist.
My dogs are my family.
Everything I do, I do for them and enjoy everything they are giving me back. They became my passion and my love and this is why I am trying to give my best for this outstanding breed.
Because of working and living on the bio-farm, I did not have enough time for showing my dogs on dog shows and I was hoping to find a partner who will help me to attend the shows more often and who will take over part of the management and PR of the kennel.
One day, my Maja called me and from totally casual conversation we concluded that we should merge our skills and knowledge in order to make our best from the breed. My wish was to have a partner, and there she was. The rest is a history....

co-owner
I am professor and professional photographer and work mostly in fashion and advertisement industry.
Dogs have been part of my life from childhood and I cannot imagine life without them because a home without a dog is just an empty house.
I wanted a Ridgeback for a long time.
Around 2005, when I planned to get myself one, I found a street-dog and decided to save him and give him home. So, the Ridgebacks had to wait for next 11 years. After "Jura" passed away, the wounds and my sadness were so big so in just few months later I decided to get myself a Ridgeback.
At that time there was a litter in Neomele kennel and I became an owner of a beautiful pet quality male - "Bebe".
He was the last available puppy and I can say already then everything seemed like a destiny.
I did not even dream about how addictive I will become and how strong the love for Ridgebacks is going to be.
They are just like a drugs.
I decided to get another "show quality" male so I may attend dog shows and compete. (oh yes, I love to compete, it is in my Olympic gold winning family genes :)) so I imported my second loved RR Maddox from famous Swedish kennel Mohaget’s. (www.mohagets.se)
Now, these two extraordinary dogs live on a beautiful Croatian island with me and enjoy Mediterranean dream in a huge garden surrounded by woods.
During past years I went even more deep into a breed.
I have investigated, researched and learned a lot from my inspiring Swedish mentor and friend Johanna Segerlund- Mohagets kennel have attended breed seminars, shared experiences with other breeders and stud owners around the world, so I decided to start breeding adventure with Lela who is founder and owner of Neomele kennel and my friend for a long time.
My life from early days was always special mix of sports and arts and as "showing is a game, breeding is an art", this path was the best that could happen. I dream big, love the breed and together with Lela I will do my best to breed healthy and beautiful dogs.
