Diana & Leah Hogan welcome you to Kopera
Rhodesian Ridgebacks website. We are a mother
& daughter team providing well tempered, athletic,
champion Ridgebacks. We are located in south
western Ontario, 25 minutes south of London.
We currently have 6 dogs living with us, Colonel
(the oldest), Vancie, Olive, Ella, Jimmie, Mickey. And
we have 2 co-owned boys, Jack and our newest
addition Deniro.
We breed for a purpose. Our purpose is 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 30 champions as of Sept. 2009.
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 be spending my life with my dogs and
my horse!
