Bawabu Uwezo Utani, "Rio"

Rio lives in Helsinki with Maaret and canine uncle Rai (FIN & DK CH Bawabu Maradufu Mshaka) and a little shorthaired Portugese Podenco sister. Rio´s official name means "familiar friendship ". Rio is golden red wheaten in colour with black mask and brown eyes. He has lovely long and symmetrical ridge. Rio has lovely balanced conformation and easy ground covering movement. He has been hip scored with excellent A/A hips and clear 0/0 elbows.

By nature Rio is energetic and happy puppy whom always is in for a little bit of fun. He is more aloof with strangers than his other litter mates but we are hoping that with time he will become more trusting and open. Rio loves to cuddle with Maaret and Rai has become his best canine mate. He as many Ridgebacks is a very food oriented dog and that gives Maaret a little advantage in motivatingthe boy. . Rio stacked below at 2 years of age.
