Xl Rhodesian Ridgeback

XL Rhodesian Ridgeback, run by Patricia Rankin in Mount Dora, Florida, focuses on large-framed Rhodesian ridgeback dogs drawn from XL bloodlines originating with relatives' and close friends' kennels in Texas. Mount Dora sits in Lake County, about 30 miles northwest of Orlando, placing the program within easy reach of central Florida families searching for Rhodesian ridgeback puppies in Florida.

The breeding stock carries bloodlines described as running noticeably taller than the Florida ridgebacks Patricia has encountered, while maintaining an even, docile temperament. The dogs live as full household members — indoors, on the sofa, treated as family — and that home-integrated upbringing shapes how puppies are socialized before placement.

Breeding is not the primary focus of the operation; females are bred only a limited number of times over their lives. Prospective homes are screened with care, and new owners commit to returning a dog to Patricia should they ever be unable to keep it. Spacious-property homeowners are preferred, reflecting a priority on ensuring each dog lands in a stable, roomy environment suited to its size.
