Our youngest Kierra daughter, Tempa is from Kierra's third and final litter to handsome Kimba. Tempa commenced her show career in early 2010 with plenty of success, winning multiple Reserve Challenges from the Minor Puppy class and was even awarded Best of Breed and Runner Up Best in Group at Open Show level from the Minor Puppy Class against other mature, quality RR's. Tempa is outgoing and extroverted with a total zest for life. If she is awake she is busy and generally "talking" in some form or other, but when she is asleep it can be like waking the dead... Given her high energy levels I guess she has to get her rest some time! Nicknamed our Kierra clone, she cuts a striking resemblance to her mum in many photos, however the similarities stop there …where Kierra was our ever vigilant hunter, Tempa can be a bit of a blonde, airhead super-model. …but what can you expect when both your parents are National Specialty winners? Tempa loves to show, and will free stand indefinitely, always happy to strut her stuff. Like the rest of the Kushika family, she proved herself in the specialty arena from a young age, winning Reserve Challenge Bitch from the Puppy Class at the RR Club of Western Australia Specialty show, at just shy of 12 months. Her successes have continued and she consistently places highly in the larger breed classes at major Specialty shows.
