The Realm Rhodesian Ridgebacks

The Realm Rhodesian Ridgebacks is a Rhodesian ridgeback breeder in Ocoee, FL, serving Lake County near Orlando. Owner Elaine Demopoulos has over ten years of experience, holds membership with the American Kennel Club, and is active in a national breed club. She participates in continuing education seminars and keeps detailed health records vetted by independent veterinarians. Dogs are health-screened for hips, elbows, thyroid function, and receive regular eye exams before they join the breeding program.

Puppies are raised indoors alongside the family, with early exposure to children, other pets, everyday sounds, and supervised outdoor time for basic training. They have access to a fenced yard and walking trails that support their natural athleticism and confidence. Bloodlines include ancestors from European show circuits, and several graduates have gone on to competitive obedience and therapy work. Litters are limited each year to maintain consistent care standards and individual attention for every puppy.
