Meet the breeder

I'm Kristen F., the breeder behind Paradise Spots Dalmatians located in Salem, MO. We give our puppies the best start possible by raising them using puppy culture methods and principles. Our puppies are litter trained starting at 3 weeks and crate training starts at 4 weeks of age (ask me for details). Our puppies are ALWAYS BAER hearing tested, mocrochipped and AKC registered.

Q. & A. with Kristen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Dalmatians are my life's passion and raising them has been my greatest dream. To say my dogs are my world is an understatement. I have been in love with the Dalmatian breed since I was a young child. Their spots are merely eye candy. The really lovely part of sharing your life with a Dalmatian comes down to their unique personalities. There is nothing in this world like being loved by a Dalmatian.
  • What makes your program special?

    My breeding program is special because I am focused on breeding out the hyperuricosuria health defect, which is a health problem for the vast majority of Dalmatians. It is also very important to me that I raise dogs that will have the temperament to be great family companions! I do MORE than the minimum health testing required for an OFA CHIC # because health testing = knowledge=healthier puppies.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white and orange, white and liver brown, white and lemon, and white and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • 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.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • 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.
