In love with our dogs
"Boundless love and loyalty - Our Ridgebacks are family."
Lela Treščec
owner
I am a professional vegetarian cook and energy shiatsu therapist with a deep love for the animal world and nature. After three generations of Dobermans, I fell head over heels for the Ridgeback breed and decided to bring one into my life. I waited nearly two years for my first bitch, Tara, and through her, I discovered that Ridgebacks were exactly what I needed in my life. They inspired me to start up my kennel and eventually led me to move away from the city and live in nature.
My dogs have taught me to become a better person, to live simply in harmony with natural laws, and to have a special bond with animals. They are my family, and I do everything I can for them. I dream of becoming an animal therapist because I feel I understand animals better than people.
My dogs are my family.
As I work and live on a bio-farm, I haven't had enough time to show my dogs on the dog shows and follow dogs and bloodlines. However, I was hoping to find a partner who could help me attend more shows, manage and bring new knowledge and to hanle the kennel's PR. That's when Maja called me, and after a casual conversation, we decided to merge our skills and knowledge to better serve the breed. With her partnership, I now have the support I need to continue doing my best for this outstanding breed.

I am a professor and professional photographer, specializing in fashion and advertisement industries.
Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, and I cannot imagine a home without them. The desire to own a Ridgeback had been with me for years, but when I found a street dog in need, I chose to save him and provide him a loving home instead. It was 11 years before I finally became the owner of a beautiful pet quality male from the Neomele kennel,
named "Bebe," and it seemed like fate that he was the last puppy available.
Little did I know how addictive owning a Ridgeback would become, and how deeply I would fall in love with the breed.
I soon decided to acquire a second male, Maddox, from the renowned Swedish kennel, Mohaget's, to compete in dog shows.
These two extraordinary dogs now live with me on a beautiful Croatian island, enjoying the Mediterranean paradise in a large garden surrounded by woods.
Over the years, my passion for the breed has only grown stronger.
I have researched, investigated, and learned from my inspiring Swedish mentor and friend Johanna Segerlund, as well as attended breed seminars and shared experiences with other breeders and stud owners around the world. Together with Lela, the founder and owner of Neomele kennel and a long-time friend, I have embarked on a breeding adventure to breed healthy and beautiful dogs.
My life has always been a unique blend of sports and arts, and the journey of showing and breeding Ridgebacks is the perfect fusion of the two.
I have big dreams for the breed and, together with Lela,
will strive to breed the best possible dogs while remaining committed to the art of breeding.
