    Notable
    Ariba is a litter-mate to Terry Smorch's dog Remy. When they were born, Terry was looking for the ulitmate Agility dog and Cindy wanted a versatile dog. She says they both got what they wanted. But their standing joke is that Terry got the "leftover pup"...who turned out to be a world champion.

    Quotable
    "Ariba, Ariba, Andale, Andale...YEEHAAA" Cindy has been known to call out to Ariba "just like Speedy Gonzales" when they are competing. She says that Aribba really responds to enthusiastic vocal commands. "She is so loud with her barking, yet she feeds off me pushing her on. The louder she barks, the louder I yell, the louder I yell, the louder she barks."
