Dalmatians are beautiful and elegant dogs. However, this not the right breed for everyone. Please make sure to do your research on their characteristics, needs and health issues before committing to a new puppy.

WAITING LIST

To be placed on the Waiting List, all you need to do is to fill out The Puppy Questionnaire (No Deposit/Fee Required) - Kindly, provide complete answers and as many details as possible to help us learn more about you. Applications missing complete address will not be considered!

Note, that we usually don't have puppies available. The current wait time for a puppy goes from 4 to 6 months, sometimes longer, depending on the litter sizes  and the females that are ready for breeding. 

How the "Waiting List" works? - Once your responses to the questionnaire are received and reviewed, you'll be placed on the waiting list and then assign to a Litter of Puppies as they are available and following the same order in which your application was received.

*If you look forward to puppies born out of a specific pair of dogs, please add the note on the Puppy Questionnaire and Contact Us.

While we have chosen not to charge our prospect puppy owners a fee/deposit to be added to the Waiting List, we kindly ask you to let us know if circumstances change and you are not longer interested in one of our puppies. This way, we will be able update the list accordingly and move up the next family in waiting.

If you are interested in visiting our Kennel and meet our Dogs, do not hesitate to contact us! - PLEASE, Our Kennel is not open to the public. This is our home and visitors are welcome by appointment ONLY.

We also have in place a GUARDIAN HOME PROGRAM, for those families interested in giving a permanent placement to one of our potential show/breeding dogs or puppies.

​

CHOOSING YOUR PUPPY

When the new puppies are between 4-6 weeks old, you will be invited to visit our kennel to meet them and choose the one to be become part of your family. 

While we prefer every prospect puppy owner to personally meet the puppies before choosing and making a commitment, in the given case you are unable to visit, we will provide you with as much information as we are able to (weight and size, pictures, videos etc) in order to help you choose. 

There is not an specific order to choose the pups. Based on our evaluation of them, we will do our best to give each Puppy Parent as many options as possible, taking into account each person/family's preferences (Color, Gender, Size) and lifestyle. 

After you have chosen your puppy, you are welcome to visit, as many times as you wish, to personally follow on your little one's development. 

REMEMBER: We, as The Breeders, reserve the right to have the first pick of any litter.
