I'm Jessica R., the breeder behind St. Rocco's Dalmatians located in Conroe, TX. We brought Bubbles home in January of this year and have been looking forward to breeding her since. We love the Dalmatian breed not only for their fun personalities and beautiful coats, but the affection they offer to their families, too. We hope to place a sweet dal pup into your home!
Q. & A. with Jessica
Why did you start breeding?
I have loved this breed for a while, but previously didn't see breeding as a very real possibility. When my husband graciously agreed to get a dalmatian pup in January of 2025, I was ecstatic! My dream to breed these beautiful dogs was actually coming true! I just needed his love and support, & God's timing, to see it happen.
Dalmatians are likely the only dog I would breed as they are so unique!
What makes your program special?
We take an 'open hands' approach to everything with breeding. From day 1 we have monitored Bubbles, gotten her health tested, and said that if she displayed anything that we would not want to pass along to pups (like hip dysplasia), she would solely be our family dog. We have the same approach with potential families. We want a dalmatian to be the right fit, and are open to 'no' being the outcome.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
