Q. & A. with Tracy
Why did you start breeding?
I purchased my 1st show Dalmatian in 1988 from Jack & Beth White of Melody Dals. Roxy was natural in the show ring and taught me a lot! All I had to do was hang on. She was finished her AKC championship quickly. I bred my 1st litter with the help of Beth White of Melody Dalmatians. I have had many wonderful Dalmatians since then. Im very picky on who I purchase Dalmatians from.What makes your program special?
I go above & beyond training pups prior to going to their forever homes. I will make written recommendations specific to your pup personality. Basic puppy training starts at 5 weeks. I can help you through the process of potty training, obedience training or behavior problems. I have a fb page open to all for communicationWhat are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and black and white and liver brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Gretta
Gretta is a moderate size at 45 lbs. Greta finished her championship quickly even with double blue eyes which can be undesirable in the show world. She is working on the Dcat titles. We are on other titles; CGC, therapy dog, and Rally. Her temperament is mellow, intelligent, and very affectionate. She loves to go on walks, runs off leash, hiking and loves to go on new adventures. She loves her human grand babies. She is gentle and fearless in every situation. Gretta is very sound in mind and body. She is the dog I can take anywhere.
