"Foosa" lives here at Tifari Ridgebacks and was bred to "Captain" owned by Marie Sajewicz & Tea Cooper, Zareba Ridgebacks. The breeding occurred in January of 2008. We are very excited about this breeding. Both dogs have numerous titles showcasing their intelligence and willingness to please their owners. In recognition of this, they have both received the honor of adding "VC" to their list of titles. VC is a versatility certificate awarded by the National Ridgeback Club. They both have passed extensive health tests and have EXCELLENT hips. Each dogs has also made the RRCUS "Top 20" obedience list for 2006. Aside from his wonderful temperament, Captain is known for his exceptionally fluid movement around the ring as well as his beautiful dark red coat color. He finished his conformation champion title (Ch) with 4 Majors and numerous Best of Breeds over specials! Captain also earned 2 Best Veteran awards at the age of 9.5 years: The RRCUS Supported Shows in Monroe, MI as well as The Best Veteran in California at the Orange Coast Regional Specialty. Foosa is tearing up the performance side of things scoring high both the Agility and Obedience rings.

Neila and Piper are Lure Coursing maniacs and have their AKC Field Championship titles. 6 of the pups have passed their Canine Good Citizen Tests, we hope for the last 2 pups to pass as well if their owners can find a test near them. Piper, Ramsay, and Rylee all earned their Rally Novice titles and Piper has went on to complete the Rally Advanced and Excellent titles as well as her Novice Obedience title. Piper and Neila have both completed her UKC Championship with ease.  Rylee, Piper, and Ramsay have all  Earned their International Ch titles, Piper even took a Reserve BEST IN SHOW!!!! . Rylee and Neila are AKC Champions, with Ramsay and Piper almost there.  Rylee, Ramsay, and Piper all got their Herding titles at the ridgeback Rodeo. Neila and Piper have their Novice Agility titles and are competing in the Open levels.  I am so lucky to have such great puppy owners!
