Q. & A. with Joan
Why did you start breeding?
We began our breeding program as a result of showing in conformation. We wanted to put our passion to good use and do our part to better the breed.What makes your program special?
We are breeding the highest-quality Dalmations. We have owned or bred five of the maternal ancestors of one of the breed's top winning Dalmatians (Ch. Fireman's Freckled Friend).
