Q. & A. with Felicia
Why did you start breeding?
In early 2012 I studied abroad in Brazil and fell in love with a blue eyed dalmatian. As she grew with me through college and life I started to full understand the uniqueness of this breed. Constantly being asked "Aren't dalmatian's mean?" made me realize this breed needed more advocates. Once graduated I decided to do just that, raise beautifully tempered dogs to be the perfect family companion.What makes your program special?
Our program is special because we not only focus on health and breed standard, but we also focus highly on temperament. We want to raise well socialized and exposed puppies so that they can become the perfect family companion. We help choose the perfect temperament puppy for your lifestyle and desires for your dog. Whether it's a cuddly companion or driven athlete we can find your perfect match.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and liver brown and white and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
