Welcome to Tifari Ridgebacks

The name "Tifari " is Swahili and means "one who inspires." Our dogs inspire us to do more with life, and with them, so we are a kennel known for it's performance and versatility. Not only do we have beautiful dogs, but they are intelligent and willing to work for us. Our Ridgebacks compete actively in Agility, Conformation, Obedience, Rally, and Lure-Coursing. The goal here at Tifari is to produce beautiful pups with sound health and temperaments. We hope they will provide their new homes with as much love and fulfillment that we have found, with our ridgebacks. Our dogs have also visited classrooms of all ages to help teach canine safety and awareness to children. We also attend many rescue animal fund-raiser events to help raise money and educate the public on ridgebacks. Enjoy the website and feel free to contact us with any questions.
