Meet the breeder

I'm Catherine V., the breeder behind New Horizonz Dalmatians located in Wilson, NC. We raise health-tested and temperamentally sound AKC Dalmatians with excellence and care! We raise and compete in a number of events with our dogs. While we enjoy events, they are our beloved companions first, and we want them to live happy and full lives. We make sure we health test by the recommended standards of the breed club, and that our dogs are the ideal examples of their breed.

Q. & A. with Catherine

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding because I want to see better health for the breed that I adore. I see far too many not caring and destroying our breed by making poor breeding choices that cause more health issues. My goal is to breed healthier dogs, so that they may live long happy lives with their human companions. I have had and continue to have multiple lovely mentors along my journey to improve.

  • What makes your program special?

    I care a great deal about our dogs, making sure they are right to breed. We take the time to title our dogs in multiple things to prove their worth and heath test to make sure we are only using the best examples of our breed to contribute to our breeding program. We have a return contract in place for all of our pups so that if ever they need to come back, they can at any point in their life.

  • 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.

    Working with Catherine was such a great experience! She is very knowledgeable and proud of the breed and the work she does and it shows in the well rounded pup I got. Ziggy has been the best addition. He is equally brave as he is polite as he is smart! I am constantly complimented on how gorgeous he is along with how well behaved the little guy already acts. I am very excited for our future, to watch him grow, and see his personality continue to flourish. I already know I’ll be reaching out to Catherine again in the future for another fur baby!

    Catherine was helpful and informative while going through the process. She helped guide us to the right puppy for our family. She remained in communication and sent pictures and updates while we waited for him to be ready. We love our Pongo, and he's been a wonderful addition to our family. Thank you, Catherine!

    From our first video call, I knew I wanted to work with Catherine. She introduced each puppy, shared their unique personalities, answered all my questions, and really took the time to help us find the right puppy for our family. Bringing Miss Lilly home was such a great experience. It’s obvious that Catherine truly loves her dogs and puts a lot of care into raising happy, well-socialized puppies who are comfortable around children, dogs, and cats. Miss Lilly came home happy, confident, and settled in right away, which says a lot about the care she received. We couldn’t be happier and would absolutely recommend Catherine to anyone looking for the right puppy for their family.

    I had such an amazing experience with Catherine from New Horizonz Dalmatians. I traveled all the way from Washington and was honestly a little nervous at first because I had to fly to pick up my little boy, Saint, but Catherine made the entire experience feel comfortable, smooth, and exciting from start to finish. She provided updates consistently throughout the process, answered my questions, and truly made me feel confident every step of the way. She even met me at the airport in Raleigh, which meant so much to me and showed how much she genuinely cares about her dogs and the families they go to. One of the things that amazed me most was how accurately she described Saint’s personality from the very beginning. Everything she told me about him during the first month of his life has been completely true. He is loving, smart, playful, affectionate, and has brought so much joy into my life. Saint has been healthy, happy, and absolutely thriving. I get compliments on him everywhere we go, and people constantly stop us to ask about him. My coworkers and friends literally beg to dog sit him because everyone falls in love with him instantly. He has truly become a little celebrity in the DC streets. Bringing him home has honestly been one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I am incredibly grateful to Catherine for such a positive and memorable experience.
