I'm Camryn P., the breeder behind Green Acre Dalmatians located in Hampstead, NC. At Green Acre Dalmatians, we strive to cultivate community knowledge and appreciation of Dalmatians. Our dogs are health tested and titled in multiple venues, but most importantly they are members of our family.
Q. & A. with Camryn
Why did you start breeding?
I knew I wanted Dalmatians from a very young age, and it was what I asked for every birthday/holiday. So of course when I was old enough, I bought my first! They have been a dream come true. We try to be as active in dog sports as we can. We participate in conformation, Fast Cat, obedience, rally, and have dabbled in dock diving.
What makes your program special?
While our dogs do compete in a variety of venues, ultimately they are our pets, members of our family, living in our home.
Our puppies are raised using puppy culture methods.
These puppy raising protocols ensure a solid socialization and training foundation for owners to go on with. These puppies mean so much more to me than just a litter, and we only want the best possible for them.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our 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.
