Meet the breeder

I'm Jules L., the breeder behind Fortuna Farms located in Micanopy, FL. We are experienced breeders of show-quality Dalmatians and Lagotto Romagnolo. Our puppies are raised with care, and we only sell to responsible homes. Our program is focused on breeding dogs that are healthy, well-structured, and have outstanding temperaments. We have high expectations for our puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home!

Q. & A. with Jules

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Breeding is the ultimate act of preservation. On our farm we selectively breed only the best animals, that we feel are offering improvement to their own species. Our horses, dogs, livestock, and rabbits are held in the highest regard, and bred to the breed standard of perfection. Purpose and preservation is a central theme on our farm. We strive for the healthiest animals, with the best temperament and breed type.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Dalmatian puppies include 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 and guardian homes.
