I'm Khristin A., the breeder behind Dalmatians of Rutland Ranch located in Mount Juliet, TN. Our goal is to ensure every dog from our program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role.

We love what we do and truly want nothing more than to see each and every one of our puppies shine!
Q. & A. with Khristin
Why did you start breeding?
Everyone loved Khloe’s personality and said I should breed her. So we planned for a litter, all went well and momma did amazingly well.
We only do a single litter per year for the health of momma and to ensure that each litter gets the best attention possible.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
