Shawna bought her first ridgeback in 1995. Although purchased as a pet at the time, he was what started her passion for the breed. These events eventually led Shawna to purchase the foundation for her kennel - Kalyan.
Shawna's love for the breed has led her and her kennel to obtain many accomplishments and consistently ranked her as one of the top Owner/Handlers within the Ridgeback breed.
