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.

About Starbuck
Starbuck is our first bred-by Champion here at Spotted Way Dalmatians! He comes from our Bosco x Faleena litter born back in September 2022. He has matured nicely, and is a very sweet boy, who loves to cuddle and play with his family. He is gentle with children, and loves to share his treats and food with the other dogs in our home. He started his show career when he was only four months old! He is now an AKC Champion, and has a BCAT title in FastCat as well as a title in Trick Dog, Virtual Home Manners, and Fit Dog. His favorite activities are going fto dog show events, going or walks, and looking for squirrels along the fence line of our property.
