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?

    Poodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Dalmatian puppies include white, liver and tan, white black and tan, white and liver brown, and white and black. Poodle puppies include sable, apricot, black, blue, brown, cafe au lait, cream, silver, silver-beige, parti, phantom, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    We are overjoyed with our experience with Stephanie and are so in love with our new baby Couscous. Stephanie always responded quickly, providing photos and updates every step of the way. Couscous has been a dream at home so far, very comfortable in her crate, very calm and loving, and we know Stephanie is the reason why our puppy has been so successful with this transition. Thank you for everything Stephanie! We are so so so lucky and eternally grateful. Couscous is perfect.
