We were thrilled when Kierra was awarded Dam and Progeny at the 2010 National. This was Kierra's final show, so to taker out this prestigious accolade from a class of 9 was a wonderful acknowledgement to her and her quality progeny. This is Kierra's forth class win at a National Specialty Show.

Kierra has proven herself in the show ring both in the Specialty and All Breeds arena. 2006 was a fantastic year for Kierra, going Reserve CC Bitch at the RRCVIC Specialty Show in March before going on to win BEST IN SPECIALTY SHOW at the 8th National Rhodesian Ridgeback Specialty Show in June with the largest ever breed entry at an Australian Specialty show of 247 Ridgebacks. She was winner of the South Australian Rhodesian Ridgeback of the Year (SARRY) award for 2006 and joint winner of the SA MOET Trophy for completing her Endurance Trial. Kierra is now retired, only gracing the ring for Specialty Shows where she has continued her success winning 3 x Dam and Progeny Classes in the 2010/2011 show year.
Kierra is the proud Dam of the following titled progeny:
- Ch Kushika Irish Cream ET (Bailey)
- DK Ch KLB Ch Kushika Tanami Moya (exp Denmark) (Moya)
- Ch Kushika Tirari Sapphire ET (Saran)
- Ch Kushika Tirari Gold ET (Sabi)

In October 2011 Kierra was awarded her Register of Merit (ROM) by the National Rhodesian Ridgeback Council (NRRC) in recognition to her contribution to the breed in Australia and Overseas. She joins a family of ROM awarded family and close relations including her father Forrest (Grand Ch Ozrhode Ari Mystic Fate ET ROM), grandmother Chilpep (Ch Starridge Litl Sunshine ROM), grandfather Jag (Ch Caprivi Inside Edge CDX ADM JDX ET ROM), and great grandparents Ko (Grand Ch Bearstar Ko CD FC ROM) and Chilli (Grand Ch Bearstar Chilean Willow ROM). We are so proud that our special girl Kierra has not only a fantastic show career, but more importantly will leave a lasting legacy on the breed with her beautiful offspring.
