Meet the breeder
I'm Marie Z., the breeder behind Bret D Dalmatians located in Wayne County, MI. I am a small breeder with big love for Dalmatians.

I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family that will match their temperament and personality!
Q. & A. with Marie
Why did you start breeding?
I began showing Whippets in 1971 but soon fell in love with Dalmatians. It is important to me that I not only continue my own phenomenal bloodlines, but that I am improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come!What makes your program special?
I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families. I provide exceptional care to all of my dogs from the time they are born, through retirement, and their later years. I strive to ensure my dogs are healthy and exceptionally cared for to improve their longevity.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
