The wheat-coloured, 70-85-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback is an African dog famous for its history of lion tracking. Strong and confident, these dogs have an independent streak and a strong prey drive that can distract them from their basic training. The name “Ridgeback” comes from a strip of backwards-rooted fur growing down the dog’s spine. Protective and very affectionate with family members, Rhodesians do best with experienced dog owners and plenty of space to run and play.

More than half of Floridians are pet owners, and 40 percent of them have at least one dog in the family. If you live on an acre of land in the state of Florida, you can own up to four dogs. The most popular breed in this state is the German Shepherd, followed closely by the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever. The most popular dog breed in the city of Orlando is none of those, however, but the French Bulldog! For coast-dwelling Floridian dog owners, there’s the added joy of the dog-friendly beaches on either side (and the bottom) of the panhandle.
