Meet the breeder
I'm Kathy W., the breeder behind Calvary's Dalmatians located in Wake Forest, NC. Our breeding program focuses on maintaining the unique characteristics specific to the breed while striving to produce puppies of superior health, temperament, and conformation. We are proud of our dogs and their puppies, and it is always our goal to preserve and better the breed with each litter.
Q. & A. with Kathy
Why did you start breeding?
We developed our love for the breed when we adopted an adult Dal years ago."Baby" was the best and we couldn't turn back from making Dalmatians a part of our family forever!What makes your program special?
Our program is special as we not only work to breed the best structure and temperment we can but also versitile dogs too. We have dogs that compete in a variety of performance sports including: Road Trial, Agility, Dock Diving, Rally, Barn Hunt and Herding. We know herding is outside the box, but we have the 1st Dalmatian in the US with a herding Championship!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.
