Puppies playing and barking at the horses. They aren’t scared of them they are just using them as an excuse to do the zoomies.

Pupdate:
Video of puppies getting out into the side field. I know it’s a longer video, but there was too much cute shots to cut out. The video is also a bit older (about five or so days) I couldn’t get it up until now.
The video also shows off my philosophy in raising dogs. That the extra time spent with their littermates and older relatives helps them in the key socialization phase. The learn from each other that the loud motorcycle isn’t scary or that running through the tall grass is actually a lot of fun and it’s not filled with scary shadow monsters. Well, probably not anyway.
Though as someone that loves horror films I definitely had litters of puppies sitting on me/under me scared of whatever was going on. It’s adorable and once you reassure them it’s nothing they’re all good. But I think my method leads to the best outcomes (obviously or I wouldn’t do it that way…) and I think the dogs that come from my yard being the best speaks for itself. And of course Yuki, Neige, Elurra, Bear, and Maduin doing such phenomenal jobs as mothers is responsible for most of that. I just get to take the credit 😅

🎶MUD PUPPIES… THOSE MUCKY PUPPIES🎶
Made a video of the puppies playing in the mud. I swear it is a puppy’s favourite thing! Also, I am curious if people like these videos? If not I’ll stop as they actually take quite a long time to make.
On an unpleasant side note there was a bit of a misunderstanding that happened the other day about me that took place on a different page (nothing to get upset or worried about). I know some people who follow the kennel are aware about it as they actually told me about it when it happened, but I am not going to go over it here as we have resolved the misunderstanding.
With that said the person who wanted Sazh ended up backing out over the incident (I know, my luck lately has been, well, something). I am a bit stunned that people walk away from their deposits like this, but I guess the next person will be grateful to them as I take the deposit amount and use it to reduce the total cost. So I am now looking for a new home for him (and Snow) and if anyone is interested you can message or text me for more details. Sharing, liking, and commenting on this post also really helps to spread the word as well. Doing any of those is greatly appreciated.
(The storms that made all the mud for these… mud puppies… also caused my internet connection to be temperamental. So I’m going to go and check that everyone who I messaged over the past couple days actually received it.)

Pupdate:
Video of puppies playing and being active. To hopefully show off not only how pretty they are (which they are very pretty, in my not so unbiased opinion), but also to show off their personalities and temperament.
It’s funny because by doing the best thing for the pups I have made it much harder to show them to people when they visit. They are socialized to the point that they don’t mind strangers coming into the house. Their anxiety levels remain stable 😝. The wake up look at the stranger and go back to sleep. That coupled with them wanting to play outside now means I have to plan visits for when people can see them outdoors; otherwise they will just sleep through someone’s visit. I did too good of a job I guess 🤓, either that or they’re exceptionally chill and relaxed puppies… or a bit of both.
In the video you can see that Lightning is the most active and is very independent and confident but still likes getting attention. That Sazh is a bit more on the rambunctious side, but less so than Lightning but still retaining that independence and confidence she has. Snow is much more attention driven than those two and tends to stick closer to people. He’s a bit more relaxed and calm but still wants to get out and play. Fang is a lot like Lightning but dialled down a little and more attention driven. Whereas Hope is smack dab in the middle of those traits.
So do you think I did too good of a job? Or was it Yuki who should get the credit? Maybe it’s just good genetics? Or some combination there of?

Just a video of the litter out under the tree after recording their individual videos. They were out with two of my adult males. They love playing with their Pop-pop and their uncle Rebel (he’s not biologically their uncle. He is actually completely unrelated to them) even if Rebel is not a big on puppies lol. GG loves puppies; he plays with them, cleans them, and sleeps with them given the chance. Anyway, thought it’s a cute video to share.

Fang - Female (Black Spots)
Fang and Lightning are the most outgoing and energetic puppies the litter with Fang be the calmer and shyer of the two (she’s still very outgoing). She and her sister join together to beat up their brothers. Fang is very people oriented and loves people. If someone new visits the puppies she is immediately up and trying to get them to pay attention to her (and how could anyone resist? That is the literal face puppy love). Fang is also looking for a home as someone also backed out homing her.

Snow - Male (Black Spots)
Snow is by far the calmest of the litter. He is more reserved and relaxed than his littermates (his temperament reminds me of Yuki, his mother, as a puppy). He still is very affectionate and seeks people out whenever possible. Often while I am cooking in the kitchen I look down to see Snow sitting/laying on my feet. He is also clever as he figured out how to escape his pen at night. Someone did back out of homing him recently so he is not currently spoken for.

Sazh - Male (Black Spots)
Sazh is very outgoing and confident. He along with Lightning are the first ones to investigate new things and places. He loves attention and is always trying to get someone to pick him up. He may always be exploring with Lightning he is a bit quieter and wants to stop to rest more than she does 😆

Lighting - Female (Black Spots)
Lighting is all energy all the time. She is the first to explore and meet new people/dogs. Her favourite past time is beating up her brothers and finding someone to pick her so she can sleep on their lap.

Hope - Female (Lemon spots)
Hope is still a ball of energy and excitement. She loves to explore and play with the other dogs, but she also loves her people time to get pets. As you can see in the video sometimes she tries to do both at the same time.

Quick Pupdate:
Puppies had some visitors who spent the afternoon with them. They also met some unfamiliar dogs of different breeds (a Doberman, Cane Corso X, and a Dalmatian who is their Nephew) for a pupper’s playdate. They were a bit unsure and reserved at first, but after two or three minutes the puppies had relaxed and began interacting with them. The entire litter had a great time and spent over two hours frolicking outside, playing with their new dog friends, and of course doing their most favourite thing in the world - getting new people to give lots of attention by just being super cute and adorable!
If anyone would like to visit the puppies to play and interact with them send me a message or text and I will set up a day and time for you to come out. There are still two puppies who are not spoken for (both a Male and Female, Snow and Fang respectively) but you don’t need to be interested in homing a puppy in order to visit. My primary focus is raising puppies who will grow into healthy and well adjusted adult dog and socialization is one of the most important tools I have to accomplish that goal. Plus, it also expends a lot of their energy and they’ll spend the following four or five hours sleeping for me 🥳. As note: if you are interested in a puppy please don’t say you just want to visit the litter as I won’t have various things (such as paperwork or equipment) ready beforehand.
If you are interested in one of the pups and would like more information you can message or text me. Anyone that would just like more general information about me, my dogs, or about the breed in general you can leave a comment or message/text me and I will respond as soon as possible. Liking the post, leaving a comment, and of course sharing the post is always appreciated as doing any of those really does help increase my kennel’s visibility on FB. That’s it for now and I hope everyone who reads this has a wonderful day.

So I have noticed that there seems to be some misconceptions about LUAs and their place in the breed recently. So I just want to quickly go over some basic information that might dispel some confusion.
First off, LUAs are not common and I would say they are quite rare. Less than 1% of AKC Dalmatians are LUAs (CKC doesn’t track LUAs) last time I checked. Another is people thinking that LUAs are super popular and highly sought after. No, that also isn’t really the case. Now the individuals who want an LUA often only want an LUA, but they’re the minority. The reason why a lot of Dalmatian enthusiasts aren’t a fan of LUAs has to do with their spots (I can explain more about that if people are interested).
Final misconception I want to cover is people believing that LUAs are HUAs but healthier. I get why someone would think that, but the reality is a bit more complicated and messy. According to the AKC LUAs don’t live longer than HUAs, which makes sense as most HUA males do not develop stones. We use to be much worse at preventing males from developing stones, but today we know much more about what contributes to their formation and how to prevent crystals (which turn into stones) from forming and building up in the urine. LUAs are also in a bit of a genetic bottleneck as all LUAs descend from two individuals (who were from the Dalmatian X Pointer outcrossing project) that the AKC allowed into the books a few decades ago.
If you only want an LUA that is fine, but you really need to inform the breeder about that from the start (even if you have already dealt with that breeder before). Most Dalmatian breeders don’t have LUAs in their line. I can only think of a handful in Canada that do including myself (and two other breeders I know that occasionally have LUA litters use Rebel, my LUA stud, to sire them). Waiting to inquire about it until you are going to pick a puppy or after you have already picked a puppy isn’t a great way to get an LUA. The breeder
