Black Leash Rottweilers reveals 1 amazing specimen at ACDS24

As we inch closer to another mammoth gathering of Dogs in Ghana in November 2024, let’s delve into the story of an exceptional rottweiler and kennel enjoying a reign from the last dog show. Holb Blue of Black Leash Rottweilers is on our radar.

Black-Leash-Rottweilers

Building a business out of passion is the most fantastic way for many to thrive effortlessly. And that is the story of Alphonse Menyo, the young man behind Black Leash Rottweilers. His Dog Holb Blue is currently the ACDS 2024 title holder of 2 trophies: BEST ROTTWEILER – OPEN CLASS and BEST OF BREED – ROTTWEILER.

Holb Blue’s win is challenging; it results from years of unfettered love for dogs. However, when one realises the possibility of turning passion into money, learning more and practising industry standards is only appropriate.

Let’s journey into the conception of Black Leash Rottweillers and the story of Holb Blue.

How Alphonse Amenyo ventured into breeding Rottweilers

Alphonse-and-Some-of-his-Dogs

Growing up, dogs were an integral part of the family. Young Alphonse was, however, responsible for caring for them. Through that, his love for man’s best friend became evident. Alphonse’s attachment to the dogs created a yearning to see dogs thrive and do very well. So, when he realised the possibility of building a business out of it, he started the Black Leash Rottweilers in 2016. The choice of breed was because he loved their sturdy build, strength and the ease of their nature.

Choosing Dogs for Black Leash Rottweiler Breeding Programs

While many people can identify different dogs, choosing a dog for breeding requires particular attention to detail. Most breeders will start from the Pedigree of a Dog. However, It is expected to meet breeders who pay particular attention to the dog’s legs, tail, top line, and overall structure and temperament. Matching the suitable dogs will ensure the future litter inherits the desired qualities. Alphonse has, therefore, learnt to select a good breeding stock.

Just as care is taken to choose a breeding stock, the breeding combination also requires careful consideration to draw out the best from the litter. The pedigree, temperament, specific traits, genetic diversity, and other factors are considered before combining.

The Journey thus far – Black Leash Rottweiler Journey

Meanwhile, Black Leash Rottweilers currently have an impressive number of dogs. The Journey has been one of success built on success. Having won several awards at different dog shows in Ghana. Black Leash Rottweilers are excited about raising Hov Ludo and Holb Blue to become winners. Holb Blue is the newest gem from the kennel.

Holb Blue’s Journey to Winning at ACDS

The annual August Classic Dog Show came off on the 31st of August 2024. An impressive array of Dogs competed in different categories and classes. Holb Blue came in as a Ghana-bred Rottweiler. Her Sturdy build and majestic strides were admirable. One key factor for participation is meeting breed standards. Coming from a good pedigree and raised to meet world standards, she stood out as a winner.

A well-trained dog, Holb Blue brought shine to Black Leash Rottweilers with her good legs, head structure, muscular tail, skin tone, and top line.

Like most dogs, Holb Blue was prepped for the ACDS through more socialisation, exercises, gaiting, etc. Unsurprisingly, she topped her class and category and class at the ACDS. Holb Blue also came 3rd as the Best in Show – ACDS 24.

Buying a Black Leash Rottweiler

Buying a puppy from Black Leash Rottweilers must be based on love, not simply liking. According to Alphonse, it is the surest way to ensure their dogs get the best care in new homes.

Black Leash Rottweilers are available on all social media networks via @blackleashrottweiller.

They can also be contacted on + 233 0241072009. They are located in Osu, inside Accra – Ghana.

Quams the Breeder of Top Quality German Shepherds

Aylesbury Pandora is a Ghana-born and Bred Puppy. It is one of the most impressive dogs raised at the Aylesbury Kennel at Spintex-Spintex Road- Baatsona Basket Junction. Emerging as the BEST GERMAN SHEPHERD LONG COAT in the JUNIOR CLASS, she is a fine specimen ready to take the breeding space of Ghana by storm.  Having passed assessments to meet FCI and AKC standards with excellent marks, her mask, structure, and well-defined angulation meant she is a worthy Dog Show participant. Despite competition from other beautiful entries at ACDS 2024, Aylesbury Kennel’s Pandora was tops.

Aylesbury-Kennel—Pandora

The owner believes Pandora came into the ring with “an excellent structure, perfect bite, a super-solid coat, and excellent mannerisms.”

Her win didn’t just happen, “it was a result of some weeks of gaiting, walking, leash work and stellar grooming. She also had to undergo ring work training and more socialisation with over 16 dogs.”

Eventually, stepping into the ACDS 2024 ring with impressive movements likened to a Mercedes Benz E-Class by the owner.

Her owner said, “She was born for the ring and born to win.”

Aylesbury Kennel’s team did impressive work in producing this beautiful young female.

When quizzed about the most memorable moment at the show, the owner of Aylesbury had this to say; “Pandora likes attention; when you show her attention, she performs brilliantly; when you reduce the attention, she lags .. it’s all about love.”

Kwame Asamoah Aka Quams

A typical Ghanaian home desires Children whose academic pursuits will land them an impressive social status via a job. However, the last few decades have seen people blending traditional and unhinged pursuits to achieve thrill, academic success, and impact on the socio-economic well-being of society. The story of Aylesbury Kennel is an amalgamation of such. The excitement of owning loyal top-notch dogs, producing the same, and balancing it with a white-colour job makes Kwame Asamoah an inspiration for all who seek fulfilment from what they do.

Venturing into Breeding

Kwame Asamoah is a man who wins many with his ever-beaming smile; behind that smile is a certainty that he provides all with superior quality German Shepherd Dogs right here in Ghana. Kwame Asamoah is a telecom Engineer by profession, however, his affinity with animal husbandry always allowed an eye on the business. Thus, he ventured into raising various livestock at an early age. After graduating from university, his interest in dogs peaked as a friend introduced him to refined breeding.

Starting Aylesbury Kennel

He was eventually advised to acquire his first Purebred female German Shepherd. The purchase marked the start of his journey.

The choice of what dog to breed was a combination of factors. Whilst learning about quality, Kwame Asamoah, also known as Quams, sorts knowledge on different breeds. He then outlined what he desired in a dog, which led to the German Shepherd’s choice. According to Quams, he wanted a strong, intelligent dog that was much easier to train.

After acquiring the first dog, he sought to use top-of-line males for Stud. Luckily, Rex Wireko Brobbey of Ghana’s Fastest Human fame allowed young Kwame Asamoah to use his male. That act of kindness catapulted him into a sphere of breeding quality and high-value Dogs. He kept several great Danes and Toy Dogs as pets to hone the skill or art of raising impressive dogs.

Aside from desirable traits, German Shepherds are challenging to breed. However, Aylesbury Kennel thrived based on the love for the breed. For over ten years, Aylesbury has diligently challenged itself with breeding nothing short of the best. The kennel has produced and served the dog-loving public with top-of-the-line German shepherds as pets and security.

Facts about Aylesbury Kennel

Aylesbury Kennel has standards dear to heart; foremost, it meets standards set by FCO or AKC. Breeding combinations are also influenced by “the inbreeding coefficient and pedigree details juxtaposed with what the kennels want to achieve with a particular litter”. However, the structure of the Dogs comes before the coat for Aylesbury Kennel.

Aylesbury doesn’t just sell dogs; they ensure each Puppy gets a home capable of giving it the best care and support possible.

In the words of Quams.

“We are never in a hurry to sell; we want a perfect home for all our puppies”.

Some Major feats.

The kennel’s Karlos Von Mouttaz Ibrahim is 4x CAC (2022 – 2023), and he has also emerged as Best Male in many Dog shows.

CAC for D. Catalina Von Aylesbury 2022

Best Jnr Female & Jnr CAC at the just ended ACDS for Aylesbury Pandora

The above solidifies Aylesbury Kennel’s prowess in breeding world-class German Shepherds right here in Ghana.

What’s the future for Aylesbury Pandora?

As exciting as this win is, Aylesbury Kennel doesn’t rest on comfort; thriving and reigning as a kennel in the German Shepherd Space remains a focus. Thus, when a dog like Pandora is “created”, she fits perfectly into the breeding program. In the near future, potential puppy buyers will own a piece of this well-bred Dog as their own. She will also make more entries into dog shows across Ghana, West Africa, Africa, and hopefully on the world stage.

With a reputation beyond the West African Coast, Aylesbury Kennel anticipates worldwide growth.

Breeding the Best Quality German Shepherds in Ghana

Remo Vom Lion Kennel 2

Remo is a Long Coat German Shepherd Puppy bred by Lion Kennel. Adjudged winner of the Best German Shepherd Long Coat Puppy Class at ACDS 2024, his journey as a top dog has just begun. Let’s walk into the journey of Remo Vom Lion Kennel’s rise into stardom and dominance.

August 31st, 2024, saw the finest of Ghana and West African dogs descend on Accra. The event was the August Classic Dog Show 2024, a competitive event for dogs bred in Ghana, with other categories open to West Africa. As anticipated, a massive turnout of our favourite breeds converged. However, while all the dogs were terrific in physique and functionality based on assessments, only one could win in each category of the competition. And Remo Vom Lion Kennel stood out.

Samir-The man Behind Breeding Remo Vom Lion Kennel

About Remo Vom Lion Kennel

At the time of the August Classic Dog Show in 2024, Remo Vom Lion Kennel entered the show at 8-months-old. He entered the competition with Lion Kennel as the breeder and Nabil Khaddouj as the owner. This relationship stems from an agreement at the point of adoption.

According to Lion Kennel’s owner, Samir Msaileb, Remo was a personal favourite from a litter of five, three males and two females. Remo’s father is Logan, a Ghana Champion, and Dorsi, a Champion GSD from Poland.

Logan – Father of Remo Vom Lion Kennel

Due to the exceptional qualities of Remo Vom Lion Kennel as a puppy, Samir had to strike a deal with him to safeguard the other intentions he had for Remo. The two GSD aficionados agreed to a rigorous training regime, entry into dog shows, and the use of him as a stud for one of the super females at Lion Kennel. Hands shook, and the journey to a show dog started for this amazing young German Shepherd Dog.

Dorsi – Remo Vom Lion Kennel’s Mother

Remo Vom Lion Kennel attended Liebe K9 Training School when he was four months old. He learned to stack and gait for future shows. A very adaptive puppy, Remo excelled in all his training disciplines.

Preparing Remo Vom Lion Kennel for the ACDS 2024

Remo has already been integrated for assertiveness through socialization with strangers, kids, and dogs. His obedience and personal guard instincts were also factored into the training regime. However, he needed a little more remedial training to participate in ACDS 2024, as expected from the show.

The demands of dog shows include the various inputs factored into the assessment to determine a top dog at a show.

In 2020, Lion Kennel’s youngest handler, Kamar Katerji, won the Best Handler award from the Kennel Union of Ghana (KUG). Lion Kennel usually organizes several training sessions to prepare handlers for a Dog Show. However, with Remo, his trainers were allowed to bring to the fore their exceptional skills in handling at shows. The results culminated in Remo topping his group and class: Best German Shepherd Long Coat Puppy Class.

Remo Vom Lion Kennel was also adjudged the Best Locally Born and Bred Puppy amongst the several entries. With several congratulatory messages from other breeders and Kennels, Remo Vom Lion Kennel is poised to contend for future titles and, eventually, a Grand Champion. Remo is currently on a path to entering Kennel’s future breeding plan; he will be prepared to mate with Ebony and Aszera’s daughter.

“I was on the showground watching his movements with joy, and I was sure he is a winner; Remo will be a Grand Champion One day,” said Samir Msaileb (Owner of Lion Kennel).

The triumph of Remo Vom Lion Kennel is a testament to the quality of German shepherds bred at Lion Kennel right here in Ghana.

Venturing into Breeding in Ghana – the Samir Msaileb story

Lion Kennel is owned by Samir Msaileb, an electrical engineer and contractor of Lebanese extraction resident in Ghana. He moved to Ghana in 2012. Starting as a dog lover, Samir’s decision to consider breeding for functionality came from acquiring a self-compound house in Ghana, unlike an apartment back in Lebanon.

Between 2012 and 2016, he kept several dog breeds in his home. However, when the thought of a business emerged, he registered his business name as Lion Kennel. Eventually, he joined the German SHephered Club of Ghana (GSDCG), RCG, and KUG to learn more and interact with other expert breeders.

In 2018, Mazen Katerji joined Lion Kennel as a partner; the two dog enthusiasts set out on a path to improve and offer quality dogs to the general public. Mazen is currently the president of GSDCG.

The Choice of Breed to Prioritise at Lion Kennel

Even though Samir had Shih Tzu, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds, his love for the GSD was easy to note. Thus, he planned to prioritize the improvement of German Shepherd Dogs. The decision was beyond love; it included a desire to breed worldwide acceptable traits such as the most multi-functional and intelligent dog, good with family and kids. Thus, it’s a perfect fit that can be trained to meet the different demands of owners.  

The Kennel officially took off in 2016 with imported dogs from different countries in Europe. The purchases were to ensure Lion Kennel had the best quality to start with. At the time, many people assumed every dog with pointed ears could be called a German Shepherd; he thus wanted to bring the quality known and accepted as GSD to the public.

With a 100% pure breed stock, the journey of Lion Kennel to becoming a leading Kennel in Ghana commenced. Also, he didn’t just get pure breeds; he acquired dogs with desirable behavioral traits.

Through the Years, Lion Kennel has won many titles and awards.

Brimming in confidence, Mr Samir said,

“From 2016 up to 2024, we are still the best of breed (German Shepherd Long Coat) in every show. All our dogs have been assessed by many international judges, with excellent rates for most of them. We have Grand Champions, Champions, and Junior Champions as well.”

Buying a Puppy from Lion Kennel

Some-Lion-Kennel-Dogs-1

Many desire a top-notch quality dog. However, the rise of puppy mills continues to affect the efforts of breeders who prioritize quality. However, there is a surge in knowledge on what constitutes quality, and dog lovers are beginning to see the need to get it right from the start.

If you are looking for a quality German Shepherd Dog in Ghana, Lion Kennel is the place to go. You are assured top-notch quality that can be moulded into the dog you desire. Despite the desire to offer more puppies to the public, Lion Kennel prioritizes the well-being of all purchased dogs. Thus, all potential dog owners who come to Lion Kennel are assessed and taught the needs of the puppy. They are taken through the basics of caring for dogs, including daily walks and exercise, as well as vet visits.

Lion Kennel is a phone call and WhatsApp away via +233547242424. They are located at Dworwulu in Accra, Ghana. You can also find them on social media by searching Lion Kennel.

In a conversation with Samir, he made three profound statements about breeding and participating in dog shows.

“Showing dogs is a sport and a mirror for the breeder workout. Breed for yourself first, not to sell puppies only.”

“Breeding dogs shouldn’t be a pure business as what we are facing now. Breed to improve and produce better quality; show your work through shows and exhibitions.”

“Breeding and showing dogs is our favorite sport at Lion Kennel. We meet all our friends, we meet more dogs from different breeds, and we discuss dogs, health, and breeding standards.”

Remo Vom Lion Kennel’s journey is just starting. He met his brother and father at ACDS 2024, and the reunion was heart-warming and telling of the true nature of well-bred dogs.

Samir Msaileb is currently the Kennel Union of Ghana (KUG) and German Shepherd Club of Ghana (GSDCG) stud bookkeeper, as well as the Rottweiler Club of Ghana (RCG) financial secretary.

3 Languages to die out in Northern Ghana

Chala – Kantosi – Chakali are three languages reported on the brink of extinction. According to Ghanalingo’s report, the number of speakers of these three languages is decreasing. In such a scenario, we must make efforts to preserve these languages.

thesavannaonline-3

Who Speaks the three languages, Chala – Kantosi – Chakali?

The Oti Region’s Nkwanta District and the Northern Region‘s Kpandai District both speak Chala. The Upper East region also speaks Kantosi. Sandema, Navrongo, Bolgatanga, and Wa in the Upper West Region, along with other towns, speak it. Chakali is spoken in seven villages in the Upper East Region’s Wa East District. The number of people who speak Chala is not readily available. However, an estimated 4,100 people currently speak Kantosi. Meanwhile, Chakali has approximately 3,500 speakers across the villages. 

Language is a crucial, diverse element that defines every ethnic group. Thus, preserving and passing it on is an extension of cultural uniqueness. It is, therefore, problematic to hear news about entire ethnicities losing their language completely. Unlike other aspects of culture that go extinct due to proven adverse effects, language bears the brunt of acculturation and migration. What, then, is unique about people when they lose their language?

What leads to language extinction?

Language extinction occurs when natives cease to speak it. It happens for a variety of reasons. These reasons include speakers not passing on the language to the next generation. A dominant culture pressures speakers into adopting other languages. When speakers adopt a new culture, leading to a reduction in language usage, intermarriages can also lead to language loss. Several other factors contribute to language extinction, yet early detection can reverse the situation.

Losing languages such as Chala, Kantosi, and Chakali will have an impact on the native shapers’ cultural identity and heritage. If the trend persists, we will also lose traditional knowledge and wisdom.

How do we preserve Chala – Kantosi – Chakali languages?

While increasing the number of speakers is the best way to preserve languages, technology has proven to be equally effective. Artificial intelligence apps like Khaya AI, which prioritizes the digitalization of African languages for text-to-speech and speech-to-text recognition, are an opportunity for this purpose. We may want to model all these languages with AI to ensure they never fade while we work to preserve the natives’ culture.

You can read the entire publication, “Ghana’s Most Endangered Linguistic Group and the Urgency for Preservation,” HERE.

A rapidly declining number of speakers poses a threat to Chala, Kantosi, and Chakali.

Kennel Union of Ghana presents the Best of Ghana’s Dogs

Introduction to the KUG National Show

The Kennel Union of Ghana (KUG) presents this year’s KUG National Show. It is a dog show that will assemble the best dogs in Ghana to vie for several trophies in different categories and classes. An all-breed show, the event scheduled for November 30th, 2024, will draw participation from all breeds currently available in Ghana.

From the smallest of dogs to the largest of dog breeds, the KUG National Show promises to be enthralling to all. Due to the high number of entries, KUG is reviewing several venue options. The public will soon know the exact venue for the show. One thing is sure, however: keep November 30th, 2024, open.

Shih Tzu at a KUG Event

Dog shows are gradually becoming an integral part of the canine culture in Ghana. Kennel Union Ghana, the lead association of dog owners, breeders, vets, and other dog enthusiasts, has stepped in with ingenuity.

To further improve the acceptance of dogs, KUG’s strategy includes events that highlight dogs’ true nature and beauty. These events allow dog enthusiasts to appreciate breed standards, functionality-based dog classification, and networking opportunities.

A dog is more than just a dog; it thrives best when used for its intended purpose. So, events like this give a first-hand view of dogs and their uniqueness.

The Essence of Dog Shows

Upholding Breed Standards: Dog shows primarily seek to enforce a particular dog’s recognized breed standards. Events like this have become necessary due to the adverse effects of cross-breeding and other unhealthy practices in the breeding industry. As a result, it is critical to stay current on standards. Tracie Austen is the FCI’s all-breed judge for the KUG National Show. She would be the primary judge in this event, with years of experience.

Promote enhanced breeding programs; the KUG National Dog Show also allows breeders to showcase and assess potential breeding stock. It is the best place to find quality dogs with desirable and accepted traits to enhance a breeder’s breeding program.

The KUG National Show also aims to foster healthy competition among breeders. Cordiality among breeders is essential for a thriving canine industry; it can lead to collaborations in training, grooming, and the overall care of dogs.

The event will also allow breeders, dog owners, and dogs to get recognition and prestige, enhancing social capital in the business. Top dogs become famous at the KUG National Show and are highly sought after for breeding or as pets.

Dogs to Expect at the KUG National Show

There are currently many dog breeds in Ghana. If you’ve ever wondered about a particular breed’s existence in Ghana, this event is the perfect place to check it out. While some breeds are popular among the public, others are a rare sight to behold.

The Rottweiler, Dobermann, Cane Corso, Boerboel, Poodle, Shih Tzu, Caucasian Shepherd, German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, and Maltese are popular. However, other famous dog breeds in Ghana include the Pitbull, English Bulldog, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Labrador, Golden Retriever, Kangal, Dalmatian, Japanese Spitz, and Great Dane.

You will most likely see your favorite and rare dog at this event.

How can you participate in the KUG National Show?

The event is open to breeders, groomers, handlers/trainers, dog enthusiasts, and the general public. Others will watch, but some will enter their dogs in competitions. Those wishing to compete, and sponsor can contact the Kennel Union of Ghana (KUG) at +233 (0) 244361966 with any questions.

The KUG National Show is a blend of competition, education, and community to celebrate and promote the world of dogs.

New Music: Starboy Sarauta Drops Inferno

About Inferno by Starboy Sarauta ft. Mr. K

Inferno-By-Starboy-Sarauta-x-Mr-K

Inferno is a precursor to an EP from the magnificent voice, Starboy Sarauta. Living up to his name, he has mesmerised music lovers in the Upper East and beyond as a singer and a rapper. This new song is a furtherance of the talent stored up in him. The song is one that likens love to an inferno, an uncontrollable fire.

The charismatic performer takes fans to the dancefloor with something eclectic as he draws lyrics from a variety of languages.

Earning a serial hit-maker status, he has stood the test time and is inching closer and closer to a nation-wide dominance. Once involved in a lyrical beef with Showboy, the musician continuous to prove his relevance is not beef driven.

From impressive song writing skills to unparallel vocal delivery and an endearing stage craft, the relative evanesce of many has nothing on this star.

With a huge repertoire of monster songs, the artiste who is known to have slayed one-time rival on a song titled wawa’yataka has proven that one doesn’t need beefs to be relevant.

Enjoy the new jam from this amazing musician. Inferno features Mr. K, another talented artiste from the region.

Being an artiste in the savanna

More and More artistes from the savanna regions of Ghana continue to prove the talent abound. However, with very little injection of investment, they remain confined to a small space. With artistes like Starboy Sarauta, the talent and desire to thrill remain a driving force.

In a recent interview, the artiste who is currently without a record label talked about the struggles of being independent. He also explained the difference between a manager, executive producer, and a helper. He describes most music executives in the Upper East Region as helpers, a situation that makes it difficult to access timely resources to push talents.

While acknowledging the extent to which helps support artistes, he wished there is an instance of a well-structured label that can absolutely take up the business of the music. He believes such is the way forward for the region and the savanna at large.

He described the situation where artistes, fans, and helpers misunderstand the business as unfortunate. He further suggested managers need to have a grip on what their role is to prevent the numerous suggestions of ungratefulness when there’s a fall out. For him, if a manager can double as an executive producer, great. However, every artiste needs a management team backed by an executive producer.
