We’re so excited and incredibly grateful for these results 🐾🤍 All 8 puppies can hear. 🥳 One puppy, Vale, is unilateral hearing - which means he has full hearing in one ear and cannot hear in the other. Fun fact: you would almost never know a dog is unilateral unless they were specifically BAER tested. Most unilateral dogs navigate life completely normally and adapt extremely well because they still have full hearing on one side 🐾 We’re overjoyed and above all THANKFUL 🥹

🧡 Flint (Orange Collar Boy) 🧡 Flint is the definition of a quiet sweetheart 🐾 While some puppies burst into every situation full speed ahead, Flint tends to take in the world a little more thoughtfully first. He has a gentle, reserved personality that makes his affection feel extra special. Once he feels comfortable, he melts right into you for cuddles and happily settles in close like he’s always belonged there. Don’t let his calm demeanor fool you though, Flint absolutely has a playful side too 😆 He enjoys joining in with his siblings, exploring, and having fun, but he tends to approach life with a softer, more easygoing energy. He’s the kind of puppy that feels comforting to be around. Sweet, observant, affectionate, and quietly charming. Flint is bilateral hearing, meaning he has normal hearing in both ears following BAER testing. 🧡 Flint has received his first round of vaccinations, has been dewormed, microchipped, and is LUA Heterozygous. This means he carries one copy of the low uric acid gene, making him genetically not prone to the elevated uric acid levels associated with urate stone formation commonly seen in traditional Dalmatians. 🐾

💚 Vale (Green Collar Boy) 💚 Vale is the kind of puppy that walks into a room like he already knows everyone is going to love him 😆🐾 Outgoing, playful, confident, and incredibly sweet, he has a huge personality wrapped up in a very handsome spotted package. He’s curious about everything, always ready to join the fun, and somehow manages to be both adventurous and affectionate at the same time. Whether he’s playing with his siblings, exploring something new, or climbing directly into your lap for cuddles, Vale approaches life with enthusiasm and confidence. Vale is also unilateral hearing, which means he has full hearing in one ear (right ear) and reduced/no hearing in the other ear. 💚 Fun facts about unilateral hearing in dogs: • Most unilateral dogs live completely normal, happy lives • Many owners never realize their dog is unilateral unless BAER tested • Dogs with unilateral hearing can still hear commands, play normally, train successfully, and participate in activities just like bilateral hearing dogs • Because dogs naturally rely heavily on scent, body language, and environmental awareness, unilateral hearing often impacts them far less than people expect • Many unilateral dogs are incredibly adaptable, confident, and capable companions And honestly? If we hadn’t BAER tested Vale, most people would never know. He’s social, engaged, playful, responsive, and very much living his best puppy life 🐾 Vale has received his first round of vaccinations, has been dewormed, microchipped, and is LUA Heterozygous. This means he carries one copy of the low uric acid gene, making him genetically not prone to the elevated uric acid levels associated with urate stone formation commonly seen in traditional Dalmatians. 💚

Clarity and integrity matter on both sides of this process 🤍 Deposits in our program are not a hold...they’re a commitment. Once a deposit is placed, that puppy is reserved, other families are notified, and the process moves forward based on that decision. This is why deposits are nonrefundable and why we always encourage families to have conversations with everyone involved before taking that step. It’s not about being rigid. It’s about being fair and operating from a place of consideration for all involved. Placement is intentional, and respect for time, communication, and commitment goes both ways. On the puppy side, we’ve officially wrapped up Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) as the litter has passed the 16-day mark. From here, we transition into positive handling. Gentle, intentional exposure that continues to build confidence, resilience, and trust as they grow. Everything we do - on both the human side and the puppy side, is done with purpose 🤍

Marked by Nature 🤍 River is 2 weeks old and still as easygoing as ever. Smooth, sleepy, and perfectly content...just here for the milk, the naps, and the good life. Don't let the side eye fool you, he's a sweet boy, just would rather be eating 😆🤍

Marked by Nature 🤍 Vale is 2 weeks old and doing things in his own order. Taking his time opening his eyes… I can only conclude he's making sure to show off that little heart on his nose first. 😅😍 On his own timeline 🤍

About Nova
Sassy, sweet, cuddly, vocal, and protective. Mischevious, curious, loving, with an "I command the room" personality! Nova truly is a wonderful companion. I am a snacking kind of girl - my favorites are apples, strawberries, avocados, carrots, steaks, and just about anything I have no business eating!
Excellent health testing

LINY 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.
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.

Cynthia was incredibly responsive and friendly, and she had great knowledge of the breed to be able to answer any and all questions I had. The entire process from start to finish was supported by excellent communication, and a real desire to make sure every pup found the best home and owner to match.

Working with Cynthia was incredible, and I could have not asked for a better dalmatian or breeder. I had wanted a dalmatian for over 20 years, and had done extensive research on the breed. When I saw LINY Dalmatiaions on the internet she had nothing but amazing reviews which all were very true. Cynthia was incredibly responsive and spoke to me prior to ensure I would be a good fit. Once she had three baby girls available in her liter, she messaged me and I went to go see them. I fell in love with my now puppy penny lane and Cynthia has assisted us with any questions we had. We are still in touch with her and Penny is going to be turning 2 in a few months. I highly reccomend Cynthia.
