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, 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.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Stephanie was wonderful to work with! She answered all our questions (and we had a lot)! She kept us in the loop with every update before we brought home our girl. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get a Dalmatian! We are so grateful we chose Stephanie at Exquisite Dalmatians!

    I purchased a dalmatian named peppermint from Stephanie. She was amazing to work with. We communicated almost daily until I received peppermint. Everything went great! She even has a transportation company she works with to get your puppy safely to you. Peppermint traveled by van from Ohio to Oregon. I had clear communication & daily pictures of her roadtrip. I am beyond happy & thrilled to have our dream dog. Peppermint is the perfect dalmatian & new family member. My children love her & she is the sweetest puppy. She's doing great adjusting to her new home & family. If your looking for a dalmatian, I highly recommend Stephanie & exquisite Dalmatians. She was amazing to work with!

    Couldn’t have been happier about my pick! My girl is so beautiful and getting her with Stephanie was a breath of fresh air. She always answers my questions, even after picking her up.

    Stephanie was so great to work with! She answered all my questions promptly and sent me updates with pictures. Our new puppy is settling in nicely and we are in love with her. She is so smart and beautiful and we are shocked by the amount of spots she has. We cannot say enough about Stephanie and we are more than grateful that she was so honest and trustworthy.

    We adopted our Luna from Stephanie was so awesome to work with, we brought her home on January 17th and she is perfect in every way and has grown half her size in just 3 weeks!! Thank you so much Stephanie for all your knowledge.

    I cannot say enough about how wonderful Stephanie is as a breeder. My Murphey has been an exemplary puppy! You can tell the time Steph puts into her litters. I purposely adopted the only deaf pup she ever had so she would never be used as a bait dog or not have the training that takes a lot of patience with. I would say, because Steph was so hands on with her from the beginning, I am lucky to reap the rewards of a long, loving friendship with my Murphey. Thank you Stephanie!
