I'm Janice B., the breeder behind Hillcreek Dalmatians located in Sterling, IL. We strive to produce quality Dalmatian puppies that are excellent representations of the breed. We are dedicated to continuing our phenomenal bloodlines in an effort to provide others with loving, healthy, and happy puppies.

Q. & A. with Janice
Why did you start breeding?
A consistent love for the Dalmatian breed inspired the start of Hillcreek Dalmatians. I strive to produce quality puppies for families that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. My priority is to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond.
What makes your program special?
We are a small kennel with high expectations! My breeding stock is fully healthy and have wonderful temperaments. My puppies are lovingly raised in my home as part of the family so that we can prepare them to be wonderful additions to yours. Prospective puppy parents are screened closely and I commit to always being a resource and guide for all of my families who create a forever home for my puppies.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
