Meet the breeder

I'm Cristina L., the breeder behind Lake City Dals located in Northern, NY. We raise AKC LUA & HUA puppies in our home as part of our family. They are handled and loved from day one. Our puppies are raised to be well-rounded, happy, healthy puppies that are well socialized and good representatives of the breed. We are part of the AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T. Program and we look forward to helping you bring home your best friend.

Q. & A. with Cristina

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I want to preserve the breed and raise happy, healthy, well-socialized puppies that make great family pets. I absolutely love the breed's personality and want to share well-bred Dalmatians with others. They have such a human personality and a huge love for their humans. They are goofy, funny, loyal, and extremely affectionate. They just have a way of making you feel happy!
  • What makes your program special?

    We love our dogs deeply, and they are a part of our family. We breed specifically for health and temperament. Our adult dogs are all health-tested and socialized. Some of our adult dogs participate in performance events. Our puppies are raised in our home following Puppy Culture protocols. Happy, healthy, well-adjusted puppies are our goal.
  • 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.
