Welcome to Tifari Ridgebacks

The name "Tifari " is Swahili and means "one who inspires." Our dogs inspire us to do more with them, and with life, 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 are members of our family first and foremost, but together we also enjoy competing actively in Agility, Conformation, Obedience, Rally, Therapy Work, and Lure-Coursing. We now have two Tifari Locations, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Together, we work towards the goal of owning versatile ridgebacks and occasionally producing beautiful pups with sound health and temperaments. We hope they will provide their new homes with the same love and fulfillment that we have found with our dogs.  Our ridgebacks also visit 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.
