Q. & A. with Stephanie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding because i wanted people to have the same love for their dogs that i do for mine. I also wanting a piece of my boy hercules to live on because of how amazing he is.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding program is special because every puppy is raised like they were our own to keep. We also preserve EVERY type of Dalmatian there is. We send our puppies out with a contract, 8 week shots, life time breeder support, & a spray/neuter contract. As our family members, we think of their new families as extension of that so our doors & lines of communication are always open to them.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Poodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Poodle puppies include sable, apricot, black, brown, silver, parti, phantom, and brindle. Dalmatian puppies include white, liver and tan, white black and tan, white and liver brown, and white and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    They live in my home.

    LouLou is a beautiful healthy girl and we love her so much. Actually everyone does. Everywhere she goes people have to say hello and she gives them the biggest smiles. Stephanie was super helpful and easy to work with.

    We took our puppy to the vet for his routine care and he was impressed with how he was raised thus far. Stephanie surely had our puppy ready for us. He was crate ready and house broken. (Since it was so cold we let him go on wood shavings in a container on the porch at first)

    Stephanie was wonderful to work with. She answered all of my questions about our puppy quickly and with excellent detail. Our puppy was already ready to go to a new home so we were able to get all the details firmed up quickly. When we arrived, our puppy was freshly bathed and shaved, all of the paperwork was ready to go and in no time we were headed home with our new puppy. Our girl is as sweet and sassy as Stephanie described and she is a perfect fit for our family and other pets. Stephanie was a pleasure to work with and we are super happy to have a puppy from her Exquisite Dalmatians & Standard Poodles in our home. Thank you, Stephanie!
