ArmySoldier Dalmatians
Meet the breeder
I'm Megan B., the breeder behind ArmySoldier Dalmatians located in Frisco, TX. We breed Dalmatians with purpose and intentionality. We have 1 litter per year in our clean home and we strive for excellence in temperament, beauty, and conformation to the standard. We are part of the LUA project and we hope to improve the health of Dalmatians through our breeding program.
Q. & A. with Megan
Why did you start breeding?
As a young girl, I always loved watching dog shows - particularly the National Dog Show on Thanksgiving. As an adult, my husband and I decided to dive into the dog show world and quickly fell in love with the fact that dog shows are intended to help breeders choose the best of the best. We often say, dog shows aren't beauty pageants, they exist to help us build longevity and health into our petsWhat makes your program special?
We only raise 1 litter per year and we pour our time, energy, resources, and attention into these puppies in our home. We spend many hours every day playing with puppies and preparing them to enter into our customers' homes and enrich their lives. This is a great opportunity for us to "do unto others" as we live by the Golden Rule and prepare these puppies to make someone else happy!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and black and white and liver brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Excellent level
ArmySoldier Dalmatians reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Dalmatians.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Eye Examination (rDVM, not registered with OFA), Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
