I'm Savanna S., the breeder behind Minnesota House of Hounds located in Saint Cloud, MN. Our dogs are our beloved companions. We care deeply about this breed and are proud to be responsible Dalmatian and Mini Australian Shepherd breeders. We are a home-based breeder dedicated to bringing healthy, loving, and high-quality Dalmatian into the homes and hearts of their forever families. We love our dogs and are passionate about raising our puppies to be the best family companions.
Q. & A. with Savanna
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to help bring quality puppies into the homes of loving families. We enjoy breeding, and make it our passion for all of our dogs.
We started off with Dalmatian, and also brought Mini Aussies into the program recently.
What makes your program special?
We are family raised puppies, we have a special area for our puppies to have a huge kennel, they have a doggy door for them to go outside multiple times a day, with a fenced in area for them to play in. We litterbox train our puppies to start the potty training process, that way they learn where they are supposed to go potty at a young age, as we graduate to outdoor training.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

MN House of Hounds was very communicative with my questions, very quick to respond and thorough. They were flexible with pick up plans, as we had to change plans a couple times. We couldn’t be happier with our new member of the family!

Jared was very awesome he gave me all of her info from her time being with them, we named her Presley for my mom cuz she loved Elvis and we just thought it fit her really well. Still working on the potty training thing she’s slowly getting the hang of it and she’s fitting in with our little family to we really love her.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
