Another
Best of Breed for Foosa!
Foosa is a very smart and
fun-loving dog. She is very obedient and
loves to
work for me, but she has a silly side and gets a kick out of
making
people
laugh. Everyone who meets her falls in love. She has
definitely made a
few
agility judges laugh hearty at her "antics".
Foosa was my pick out of the
litter. I fell in love with her dark
nose and
expressive eyes- They were "Irresistible". Based on her
personality, I
could
tell she would be a good dog for agility and obedience.
Foosa was a
very
composed puppy and would play hard with her litter mates,
she was
fearless
and beat up her brothers mercilessly, but then would come to
snuggle
next to
me and watch all the action simply content to sit on my lap.
We decided
to
name her "The Foosa" after the characters on the children's
movie
Madagascar.
The characters are little predators who dash around, have a
voracious
appetite,
and are amusing. This described our little puppy perfectly!
Foosa truly is our dream dog.
She strives to do whatever we ask,
both in the
ring and at home. She is never afraid of new things and has
the heart
and will
to accomplish anything. She is our "Versatile Superstar" and
has helped
to
pave the way for performance ridgebacks everywhere. She has
passed
on her
even temperament and desire to compete in the whelping box,
where she has
exceeded our expectations at being a wonderful mother.
Foosa has earned a Register of Merit, ROM, title. This requires 5
offspring to earn their championship titles. We
could not
have asked for anything more as a foundation for the Tifari
Line.

Foosa is mostly retired from showing, and now enjoys
life on
the couch. We still occasionally bring her out to show
her off at
Nationals, :-) Foosa was a fabulous foundation for the
Tifari
line. She had three litters with 20 puppies total.
Her
second litter was very small and did not produce any show
puppies, but
they are making up for it in the performance venues. So far,
Foosa has
produced a total of 5 AKC Champions with 1 more pup AKC
pointed, 4 UKC
Champions, 5 International Champions, 3 Field Champions with
9 more
pups with assorted Lure coursing titles, 6 puppies titled in
Rally, 5
puppies titled in Agility, and 15 puppies have passed their
Canine Good
Citizen Tests.
