Meet the breeder
I'm Elaine D., the breeder behind The Realm located in Orlando, FL. I'm passionate about raising well-rounded puppies who will excel in any venue with their new families. My love for Rhodesian Ridgebacks inspired me to share this breed with the world in a responsible way. My dogs are proven champions in the ring and in the hearts of their forever families. I take pride in my pups.
Q. & A. with Elaine
Why did you start breeding?
I breed to continue and improve upon my prized show line. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs.What makes your program special?
I am committed to only breeding dogs that meet the strict guidelines for quality that I have deemed appropriate to improving this wonderful breed. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I take pride in raising well-tempered and socialized puppies who can excel in work, show, or as beloved companions.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Good level
The Realm reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
Hip Dysplasia (Preliminary), Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia (Preliminary), Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Early Adult Onset Deafness (EAOD), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
