I'm Evelyn B., the breeder behind DragonHeart Dalmatians located in Bellevue, ID. I strive to produce puppies with strong, healthy genetics through out-crossings to championship bloodlines.
Q. & A. with Evelyn
Why did you start breeding?
My first Dalmatian was a poorly bred, heavily spotted HUA male who would come to be my greatest companion and most humble teacher. Through him I learned the devastating truths of hyperuricosuria and have since dedicated myself to the LUA project in the Dalmatian breed.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
