Moen Lake Dalmatians Welcome to Moen Lake Dalmatians! Our first Dalmatian was purchased deaf and we soon then fell in love with this breed. After a long search we found our Xena!

Founded in 2017 in beautiful Rhinelander, Wisconsin, when a kid in elementary school wanted a dog that would get along with the family’s squirrels, bunnies, chipmunks, swans, ducks, geese, and other neighborhood dogs. At Moen Lake Dalmatians we are dedicated to breeding beautiful purebred dogs whose health, appearance, temperament, and ability are true to their breed. We are on a mission to eradi

cate deafness and the HUA (High Uric Acid) gene that our first male Dalmatian (Ace Frehley) has to live with. UPDATE: No puppies from our litter are HUA so far. Our Dalmatians have only produced other LUA Dalmatian puppies and we are so proud and happy!!! We subsequently purchased another male Dalmatian (Chaz) who is a heterozygous LUA (Low Uric Acid) Dalmatian. He was not deaf and to be our Ace's partner in crime and lifelong playmate as we live on a lake and they both love the water. After two years with these wonderful Dalmatians, we decided we would breed our studly male, Chaz, with a LUA (Low Uric Acid), DNA tested female, with no deafness in her litter and Grand Champion bloodlines. She exemplifies all the great qualities this breed has to offer. At Moen Lake Dalmatians, we believe that Professional Dog Breeding should be undertaken with a high degree of ethics. We give careful consideration to health issues, temperament, and genetic screening, as well as to the individual care and placement of puppies in responsible homes. We work in conjunction with Good Dog in the sale of our puppies. Moen Lake Dalmatians in Wisconsin | Find your Dalmatian Puppy | Good Dog We also believe the motto of the responsible breeder of purebred dogs is "BREED TO IMPROVE." Choosing Dalmatians whose bloodlines will strengthen weaknesses and emphasize good qualities. We hand raise our puppies under the Puppy Culture guidelines with lots of socialization so you'll have the peace of mind knowing that your dog will be ready to go out into the world without any problems. I have studied at the American Kennel Club Canine College, am well versed in DNA and proper health testing, and our breeding program is certified by the AKC as a (Breeder with H.E.A.R.T.) AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T. Program – American Kennel Club. Our Dalmatians have undergone extensive health and DNA testing to make sure we breed up to the standard or surpass it. They are OFA CHIC Certified and each have their CHIC numbers and test results available for anyone to see here CHIC Program | Orthopedic Foundation for Animals | Columbia, MO (ofa.org). They have and will continue to be tested for hip dysplasia, eyes (CAER), hearing (BAER tested), Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis), Hyperuricosuria (GenSol Diagnostics), and have a DNA profile through the AKC with no genetic defects (DNA profile posted under each dog on our site), and have wellness exams regularly. Our puppies are guaranteed to be in good health and free of communicable diseases when you receive them. Puppy will have a one year health guarantee of genetic conditions and defects. Immunizations and deworming will be current, a veterinarian record, a 4-generation AKC pedigree of parents and a copy of DNA results from GenSol Diagnostics for Hyperuricosuria (HUA/LUA) will be provided to all new puppy owners. Also included in the price of our puppies is prepaid AKC Registration, AKC Reunite microchips and a prepaid lifetime enrollment in AKC Reunite's Recovery Service which will include collar I.D. tags. All puppies will be BAER tested for hearing and you will have those results. Also a free month of pet insurance will be provided. We are committed to every puppy in our litters for its entire life span for advice or support. If for some reason you cannot take care of your Dalmatian, we will take him/her back no questions asked. DO NOT abandon to an animal shelter. Finding the right mating pairs should be taken into consideration when breeding. Practicing these common sense maxims can be very complex because you must weigh all the factors that contribute to the Dalmatian's traits and appearances. This is an area where research and the advice and experience of other breeders are invaluable source of information. We are aware that Dalmatians, like ALL dogs, are subject to many hereditary defects, some of which are potentially crippling or fatal. Our goal is to produce Dalmatians that are not affected by the major known hereditary diseases occurring in our wonderful breed. To be an effective breeder, you should have a basic understanding of the science of genetics. Everything about your prospective puppies' health, soundness, looks, and temperament will be determined by the genes passed on by their parents, and by their parents before them. Therefore, the selection of the mating pairs should not be made solely on the basis of the dog's or bitch's looks (or temperament or soundness, etc.), but should be based on an understanding of how the animal's genes contributed to its looks and of how those genes are passed on and expressed. That is why it is essential for us to study the pedigrees of our mating pairs of Dalmatians. The more knowledge we have as we make our selection, the more likely we are to produce a litter with the qualities we desire. We are and have to be well-versed in the genetic problems that affect the Dalmatian breed. Genetic defects can occur in any breed and can affect any system in the body. Some genetic diseases may occur in many breeds; others occur in only one or a few breeds. The following is a brief explanation of how genetic defects may be inherited and expressed:

Diseases that follow a dominant pattern of inheritance need only one abnormal gene. That is, if only one parent is affected, the condition will show up in each successive generation. Some individuals may be only mildly affected with the condition, making it difficult to detect. In such cases, the condition can mistakenly be thought to skip generations. Diseases that follow a recessive pattern of inheritance occur in homozygous individuals, meaning dogs with two abnormal genes. Dogs with one mutant and one normal gene are heterozygous, and they are carriers of the condition. They appear normal but can pass their gene to their offspring. Recessive mutant genes can be passed through many generations before emerging in the offspring of two dogs that carry the same genetic mutation. Polygenic disorders result from the cumulative action of a number of different genes. The exact number of genes involved and their individual functions are difficult to determine, and the pattern of inheritance tends to vary from family to family. Polygenic inheritance can sometimes mimic either dominant or recessive inheritance, and this feature may lead to erroneous conclusions regarding the type of underlying genetic abnormality. Chromosomal anomalies: Defects in chromosome number and structure; can also cause genetic diseases. Dogs normally have 39 pairs of chromosomes on which genes are located. Major abnormalities in chromosome number and structure can produce serious defects. Before you decide to get a Dalmatian because of a movie, make sure you do your research. Only certain people can handle this breed (as well as other breeds) and you need to have a LIFETIME commitment if you’re planning on getting one. Getting one just because “it’s cute and I want it” is not a good enough reason. If you’re seriously interested and you’ll be a FIRST TIME Dal owner, I recommend living in a house. You can live in a apartment, but Only VERY FEW people can handle an energetic breed in an apartment. They need room to run and if you aren’t going to have the motivation more than 5x’s a day (assumption of how many times they’ll have to go) to take them outside to go potty or to the dog park to play, then I don’t think this is the breed for you. You can’t stop doing it mid way either, it’s an everyday effort.

*Info on the breed for first time owners*

This breed is highly energetic and need not only a lot of attention, but socialization and a lot of walks. Literally, I’m not kidding! Although they’re smart, they’re very stubborn and WILL be destructive if bored, locked up in a kennel for a long time and will become fearful of others if not socialized. If they’re not socialized, they will become shy of others and dogs and be more protective of their owners which can result in issues. Dalmatians need a low purine diet (HUA Dalmatians) otherwise it will cause problems with not only an upset stomach, but can develop urinary stones for this breed is well known of. To prevent stones, they need water available 24/7. Which does mean more potty breaks! Which is why we are trying to breed only LUA Dalmatians. All puppies will be tested before you get them so you know whether it's a LUA or HUA Dalmatian. We also have a great feeding method that has worked wonders for our HUA Dalmatian that we will share with you if you happen to get one. Our local veterinarian has told us that he's the healthiest dog he's ever seen and we take great pride in that! As stated before, this breed can be stubborn and a handful, but with positive training and sweet voices coming from the owners, they will thrive in training. Please take note that this breed is sensitive and so yelling at your dog will not benefit them. They need a lot of exercise and socialization. If they don’t get enough exercise, they will become destructive and if bored. If your Dalmatian doesn’t get the socialization he/she needs, there can be fearful aggressiveness that could take place. Even with people it’s important they socialize or they will be more protective of their owner. Puppies also should stay away from dog parks until they get their 12 week booster vaccine.
