& daughter team providing well tempered, athletic Ridgebacks. We are located in south western
Ontario, 25 minutes south of London.
We breed to produce healthy, well structured dogs, with excellent temperaments, and of course
family companions. We attend structure, and health seminars to continue our learning, and to benefit
the breed. Parents have their championships and are tested to be clear of hips and elbow dysplasia, &
thyroid.
We are members of the Canadian Kennel Club, the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Canada, and
the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Eastern Canada.
We are home to 26 champions as of August 2008. And also home to many Agility, Obedience and
other performance titled dogs.
In 1991 my husband, Darren and I started researching a breed that would best fit our
environment. We wanted a short coated, large breed that wasn't over popular. When Darren and I
met our first Ridgeback and he gave us a big toothy smile we knew that was the breed for us. We
purchase our foundation, Abbey in 1993.
I (Diana) all was wanted to be apart of the purebred dog fancy, since I was a young girl and my
father took me to my first dog show. My father was on the police force and as well as the canine unit
in London, Ontario and also while we lived in England. I grew up with working police dogs, and the
occasional stray that made its way to our home, dogs have been a part of my life and will all was be.
I (Leah) grew up in the show dog world. I started showing in juniors when we first started in
ridgebacks. As a pre-teen I was more interested in riding horses. But I started showing again as a
junior handler when I was 15 years old. I had some great wins in juniors, and in the breed ring. My
wins were with my own dog Olive, and also with other breeds. I am excited to continue breeding and
showing my dogs in the future.
