Welcome to kennel Wayosi
We are a small-scale breeder of Rhodesian Ridgeback and working-line Airedale Terrier (leistungszucht) located just outside of Oslo, Norway.
Our priority is functionality and health, achieved through thorough assessments including mental evaluations, working trials, conformation evaluations, and health screenings.
