Let’s talk Lemon Dalmatians! 🟡⚪️

Im sure when you think of Dalmatians, the classic black spots likely come to mind.. However, not all Dalmatians are dark spotted! 🍋 Despite what people think, these dogs ARE NOT mixed breeds!! Their distinct color comes from a recessive gene that lightens the typical black pigment to a golden tan. The secret to their unusual color lies in genetics 🧬 For a Dalmatian's spots to turn “lemon”, they must inherit the e/e gene combination at the E-locus— similar to how some people have blonde or red hair instead of brown or black 👩🏻‍🦰 Dalmatians have origins tracing all the way back to the 13th century making them one of the oldest purebred dogs around and Lemon Dalmatians (as well as Long Coat Dals) appeared all the way back in this timeline as well. Before the establishment of modern dog registries like the AKC and UKC, these golden-spotted dogs were viewed simply as another beautiful variation of the Dalmatian breed! 🐾🍋

🎉 Exciting news! All our puppies aced their BAER hearing tests! 👂🏻🔊 BAER tests involves sending tiny sounds into the puppies ears and measuring nerve and brain responses 📶 They behaved wonderfully, with the hardest part being staying still! 😅 We're so proud of these little champs! 🐶💖
