About Herc
Hercules (Hercules XXIX) is a mature, fully health-tested Dalmatian male with excellent structure, stable temperament, and proven soundness. Nearly five years old, he is an active breeding dog who resides with me and represents the breed with strength, balance, and reliability. Hercules holds Excellent OFA hips, normal CAER eye certification, and bilateral BAER (+/+) hearing, with no congenital deafness. He has been genetically tested and is a known HUU affected male, managed responsibly and transparently within appropriate breeding considerations. Genetically, Hercules is dominant black, and carries masked expression, brown, lemon and long coat. He contributes strong breed type, substance, and genetic value when paired thoughtfully. Hercules remains an active part of my program with health, temperament, and responsible breeding always prioritized.

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.
