WELCOME
Hvirvelvinden is an FCI approved kennel and a DKK educated breeder dedicated to the Rhodesian Ridgeback. The dogs in Hvirvelvinden are loved and owned by me, Dea. My dream is to help preserve, improve and promote this absolutely incredible breed. Hvirvelvinden is located in Denmark just north of Copenhagen.




The name Hvirvelvinden (translates to ‘the whirlwind’ or ‘the dust devil’) came from the fact that the breed stormed into my life and put everything upside down in the best way like a whirlwind! And my Rhodesian Ridgebacks have delighted me ever since with their joyfulness, zoomies and their caring and loving nature.
The breed Rhodesian Ridgeback is characterised by the special whirls on their backs. And if you squint, the ridge itself almost resembles a dust devil in action.
Watching my girls in action is when a whirlwind comes to mind. But just as funny and wild as they are when we are outside, just as calm and loving are they inside the house. My dream dogs!
You can read more about Kennel Hvirvelvinden and my breeding philosophy and goals on the ABOUT page.

Hvirvelvinden is a dream...
… come true. Kennel Hvirvelvinden is a hobby project born out of love and passion for the breed. Years were spent finding the right females to realise the kennel dream. Now years are being spent locating the perfect matches for them and my breeding philosophy. Absolutely nothing has been left to chance, never has (or will) the most convenient path been chosen. This is our commitment and your guarantee.
