Fyrehouse Dalmatians

Eleanor G.

Breeder of Dalmatians

Meet the breeder

I'm Eleanor G., the breeder behind Fyrehouse Dalmatians located in Goleta, CA. The Dalmatian is one of the few breeds that have the ability to learn "any trade." However, they really have been bred to run for long distances. Thus daily exercise is important. Fyrehouse Dalmatians have excellent reach and drive. Early socialization (during the first 8 weeks) is vital to their successful lives. The portion of heredity governing temperament is right next to health in our breeding considerations.

Q. & A. with Eleanor

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My first Dalmatian had such a delightful, calm temperament, I wanted to have a litter of pups to share with others. That began the saga of 17 years which has been a joy!
  • What makes your program special?

    Like all good breeders, support to new puppy owners is a vital part of the process. Many are friends (almost family) and have returned to Fyrehouse Dalmatians for another pup after years of happiness with their first pup. That is such an accolade for a breeder!
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Parent health testing

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Fyrehouse Dalmatians reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Dalmatians.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Brucellosis, Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Congenital Hypothyroidism with Goiter (CHG), OFA/CHIC DNA Repository

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
