Meet the breeder
I'm Meg H., the breeder behind Snowood Dalmatians and Cavaliers located in Garden Prairie, IL. Our breeding program is conducted on a small scale using only selected dogs of outstanding quality and disposition. Dalmatians do best when kept as house pets. Our stock represents a combination of some of the finest lines of Dalmatians in the country. They are bred to dogs we feel to be the most complementary in physical and mental characteristics and the most likely to produce the right combination of qualities.
Q. & A. with Meg
Why did you start breeding?
My first Dalmatian was a "drop off", someone dumped her in the country by our farm. When she was older I talked my husband into getting a show dog since showing dogs couldn't be any harder than showing horses. That was in 1982 and I've been hooked ever sinceWhat makes your program special?
My dogs are health tested. They are shown and do well in conformation and performance events. I am always available to talk with my puppy buyers. We celebrate the good things and support each other when bad things happen.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
