I'm Carey M., the breeder behind Dal's Alley Dalmatians located in Pueblo West, CO. I've had Dalmatians for as long as I can remember and I couldn't imagine my life without one! I am a preservation breeder with the goal to preserve the Dalmatian breed the way it was intended to be. I prioritize structure, health, and socialization and I strive to raise confident puppies.
Q. & A. with Carey
Why did you start breeding?
I am a preservationist breeder striving to improve upon the unique qualities that the Dalmatian has to offer. 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! It has been an absolute joy of a journey and I'm looking forward to connecting with you!
What makes your program special?
I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families. Each pup is cherished from the moment of birth and given the best start I can possibly provide. Our puppies are sure to make loving companions for your family for many years to come!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
