This post has taken me months to write. I am heartbroken to announce that I will no longer be breeding Dalmatians.
I had originally hoped to carry this dream well into my future and continue promoting ethical breeding practices and expanding the LUA gene within the Dalmatian breed.
My career path has changed in the last several months and no longer allows me sufficient time to dedicate to raising litters of puppies. Breeding responsibly is not something that can be done half-heartedly. What little time I have left outside of my career should be dedicated to raising my children.
I love the Dalmatian breed and I will always support ethical breeders in their practice. I will always love to hear about the lives of the puppies I have produced and will gladly continue to answer any questions and/or offer any advice requested of me.
Sadly, at this time and for the foreseeable future, my days as a Dalmatian breeder are done. I'm going to go cry now, as one more dream has been crushed.

I’m sorry I haven’t gotten back to a few folks who have sent messages. I will try to respond sooner than later. I have been in the hospital with my young daughter since Tuesday with RSV. My priorities remain with her.

Meet Wrenly.
Wrenly was born to my first litter in October 2020.
Currently, he lives in Wytheville, Virginia; and sadly he is looking for a new residence.

He is neutered, current on vaccinations, heartworm, flea and tick medications. He is AKC registered and has OFA health certifications. Wrenly is a very well mannered boy that gets along with other dogs, pets and people.

I am reaching out to anybody interested in adopting this boy from his current owner. Ground transportation could easily be arranged (costs to be covered by new owner) if needed. There will be a small fee associated with his adoption to help cover the cost of neutering.

Interested persons will be asked to fill out an application, for the purposes of ensuring Wrenly finds a home perfectly suited to his needs. If you are interested, please message me or you may also message Brairwood Dalmatians, owned by Courtney Kiser, where he currently lives.

Mufasa is such a good kitty, always putting up with my puppies and helping them familiarize with animals other than their siblings.

This little boy left with his family today, and as happy as I am to see the excited faces of his new children, I am also sad to see the last of Pennywise’s puppies move on to his new home.

I had to share this. It's so sad to see some of the low numbers of amazing and historic breeds. In fact, many lists of endangered dog breeds include the Bloodhound, which was this year's Westminster Best In Show winner.

Posted by a preservation breeder who is ALSO a Vet!!

Here's the real deal, people:

Watching the Westminster coverage, I was struck by many things, but this remained the most prominent:
So many of these amazing breeds have critically low registrations. Just 600 Sussex Spaniels, to name one. Many of these are breeds that make amazing companion dogs, and the public knows nothing about them.

As a veterinarian, I average seeing about 3 "new puppies" per day (these can be existing or new clients, but new puppies to them), sometimes more, sometimes less. I would guess that about 3-4 of these each MONTH is a purebred dog. And maybe ONE is from a preservation breeder. The others are merle or off color "purebreds" or from mills.

The rest? Every sort of doodle you can imagine, or other mixes such as husky/gsd (no idea who is doing this, but please stop), pomsky, shipoo, havapoo, shichon, cavachon, the list goes on and on.
The sad part is that many of these owners are educated, smart people, who just truly don't know. They don't know about the amazing purebred dogs who would fit so much better in their home. They don't know that buying a purebred dog is buying predictability. They don't know about health testing or breed typical traits or breed typical health concerns. They know they want a puppy and they can go online and order one, and be fooled by photos and words. Some even say "when I got there I knew it was a mill, but I couldn't say no at that point."

We need to do better. We need to promote and educate and...go ahead and crucify me for this...breed more dogs. Stop vilifying breeders who actually breed. Because pretty soon, we are all going to be extinct and all that will be left is designer dogs.

When I can talk to someone BEFORE they get their puppy, I can make a difference. I can educate about breeds that may work for them, about health issues, and about finding the right breeder. But as the veterinarian, all I can do is sigh when I see yet another "cockadoodledont" on my schedule and educate after the fact about pet insurance and training and the things we can do to try to help that particular puppy.
I don't have the solution, but I do know that we have to do better.

What a beautiful write up of our beloved breed, the Dalmatian. 🖤

Puppies are starting to head off to their new homes and boy I’m sad to see them go. I miss them already, however and excited for their new adventures with the families that have chosen to love them forever!

Everybody did great for their BAER exams.
Red boy is bilateral deaf, as suspected.
Everybody else is bilateral hearing

06/09/2022

I am grateful for all of the applications received by interested persons. All puppies from Pennywise’s final litter have been placed and will start heading to their new homes in the coming weeks.

DragonHeart Dalmatians will be planning a litter for spring 2023 with Pandora (DragonHeart Unlocking NU Secrets). All puppies will be LUA from her, with possibility of liver / white in addition to black / white.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for you patience these past few days. My whole family has been hit with a terrible stomachache, and my infant daughter simultaneously developed a double ear infection. Luckily, neither Covid nor influenza; however we are all very tired and expending our energies meeting the basic needs of everyone in the household.

I’m feeling on the mend, which is great because we head to Pocatello tomorrow for BAER hearing tests at the University of Idaho. I am hopeful that all will have bilateral hearing, save for the red puppy who I am confident is fully deaf. Any unilateral hearing puppies will function and thrive normally (and I can assure you, everybody (but red) hears superbly… I cannot sneak through the room unnoticed, try as I might 😂).

Puppies got new toys this morning and had a great romp with them and are now passed out after lunch and another play session.

**Placed** 🥰
Red boy will be looking for a qualified home.
He is the first puppy I have produced with hearing impairment. BAER tests are scheduled for June 9th, however I am confident this boy is fully deaf.

This boy will make you rich with love!

Vaccine day. Clearly no concerns being at the vet office. 🥰🥰😘

Who the heck said you can be this cute?!?!?

Jealous brother requires the attention.
He’s a heart stopper too. 😍

I dunno ’bout you guys, but this little nerdy boy is always down to party! He’s so stinking cute and fully of bubbly personality! 😍
I need a mansion so I can have a Dalmatian Plantation.

Genetic tests are processing at Embark. I’m very excited to see some results!

Red boy playing. 😍
No sound on the video on purpose. TV show I’m watching is full of colorful language. 😬😏

This puppy has one blue eye and one brown eye. I am suspect he is fully deaf, however will not know for sure until June 10th. His LUA and genetic test results are pending. If he is deaf, this is the first puppy I’ve had with deafness in one or both ears.

05/20/2022

All of the puppies’ genetic tests are at the lab and processing. Orange was the last to get checked in. The others are several days ahead. Cannot wait to be getting results back!

When your face is entirely way too cute to ever be grumpy so you wear your scowl on your back. 🤣😠😍😍

Some of us wore more than we ate. 😂😬

Introduction to soft solids and formula was a (messy) success. 😊😊

05/15/2022

The look of hearing a w**d eater and smelling cut grass for the first time (door is open for fresh air).

Nanny Panda. 😘😍

Genetic samples collect and will be mailed tomorrow morning. 🤞🏻 for swift results!

Play time is never full around here! 🖤🤍🖤🤍

There will definitely be some videos of bebes playing in the snow. ☃️

Lots of hard playing to be done after morning feeding in the cleaned half of the puppy pen. I missed the best parts of Scarecrow having a good ol’ time playing under the kuranda bed. And then miss Havoc, coming over to politely mand for my attention. Her and all of her spots. 😍 Sorry for the crappy video quality. I’m tired, I’ve been cleaning for over an hour and it’s only 6 am (ish). 😴
