Q. & A. with Carla

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have always been invested in the well-being of animals, and we love Dalmatians dearly. We decided to start our own breeding program so that we could share with others the joyful experience of owning these incredible dogs!
  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding program stands out amongst others because of the personal attention we give to every detail of the journey. We believe all dogs deserve nothing less than to be cherished, spoiled, and pampered, so we strive to place all our puppies in homes where they will be loved as family members.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Spotted Way Dalmatians reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Dalmatians.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
