Meet the breeder

I'm Liz J., the breeder behind Gateway Farm Dalmatians located in Acampo, CA. As breeders of high quality Dalmatians, health and temperament are our main priorities, as well as producing puppies that reflect as closely as possible the ideal Dalmatian as described in the standard. As such, our puppies' parents have been carefully selected, are health tested, have great dispositions, and beautiful conformation! Each Dalmatian puppy bred by us has been raised with the greatest of care and comes with a lifetime of advice. We usually raise only one or two litters per year to ensure the puppies receive plenty of attention and socialization. Our puppies are born in our home so they get lots of love and handling right from the start!

Excellent level

    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.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), 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.

    Liz was great to work with. Her heart for the breed and her individual dogs was evident in everything she did. She was honest, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. My dog was primed for a good relationship with people. It was obvious to me that she had spent a lot of time with him.
