Retired Breeders

This section are dedicating to former breeders, the dedication they showed, as well as leaving us behind their legacies and inputs towards the breeders community in South Africa. A breeders association can only be a success when you have a team of breeders working together, sharing the same values. 

Fanie de Lange were a long time breeder and active member at SAHBA from 2021 to 2023 when he formally retired from breeding hedgehogs. By just scrolling through pedigrees will surely give anyone an  indication on just how big his impact was on the breeders community. We would love tho thank him for what he has contributed to SAHBA`s existence. 

Elize Strydom retired from breeding early 2024 to attend to personal matters. Elize were an active member of SAHBA from 2021 to 2024. Elize`s legacy will also remain forever in our lineages. Thank you for being part of our journey. Elize sadly passed away in 2024. We look lovingly back at her memories. 

Elize Campher retired in 2024 from breeding, but stayed on as a Board Member. In 2025 Elize resigned from SAHBA to attend to personal matters and also to finally part with the hedgehog community. She was a long standing breeder and iconic figure in the hedgehog community of South Africa who worked hard to help build up SAHBA. A breeders legacy always remains in the lineages.
