I learned to know Bonham and his sire Raf (Aust CH Karniegulan Lord Tzar) and dam Bili (Marsabit Mgeni) well when I lived in the UK. I fell for their handsome looks and Bonhams gentle charm. I imported semen from him together with Taina Klén in late 2000. The semen was first used for Taina´s brood bitch FIN & EST CH Bawabu Mbala Mwezi - Vanja. Isabis A-litter consisted three bitch puppies.

Bonham is a handsome chap of dark red wheaten colour. He has full scissor bite. Bonham is nicely put together with lovely conformation and movement, topped with a very idealy proportioned head. He easily gainned the CCs needed to become a GB confirmation champion. He as many top wins to his honour e.g. BIS-I at The Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of GB Championship Show 1999 - judged by Ms. Vikki Cook. Nowdays he is retired from the show rings.

Bonham´s parents are Australian imports, and his bloodline goes back to well established Marsabit & Vishala bloodlines. His dam Bili is out of the same combination as well-known RR dog Aust CH Marsabit M´Fumo - Hogan. Raf then again is sired by famous brown nose Aust CH Vishala Impi - Cody.
