We breed by the standards of the Dutch Club for Dalmatian Dogs. This means that we breed with dogs that are bi-lateral hearing and have good HD test results. After the puppies have been chipped by the Dutch Kennel Club they have a BAER test at the age of 6 weeks. Also they will be de-wormed regularly and at the age of 6 weeks they receive their first vaccination and be checked by the vet. Before the pups leave for their new homes the litter will be checked by the Dutch Dalmatian club.
We will not often breed a litter. Our goal is to improve the Dalmatian breed. We try to continue the good points of the parent dogs.Our priority is a correctly built and harmonical
body with good movement and especially a nice character.
For us socialisation is very important and we will give this a lot of attention.The pups will therefore grow up in our home and so become used to the sounds and everything thay happens in daily life. The socialisation starts at the age of 6 weeks. It is very important to start the socialisation at once and so we will teach the pups as much as possible: other animals, other people, cars, bicycles etc.. We take the pups for walks with the car, teach them to walk on a leash andwe take them with us on a trip to the pet store!
At 8 weeks the socialisation continues so we expect the new owners to take over so that the pup can develop into a stable adult dog. A good puppy- and basic course is also very important. Working with your dog also gives you a better relationship!
It is very important for us that our pups go to good homes! Therefore we have certain demands.... We hope that our potential puppy buyers respect that!
But as we have demands for our puppy buyers...so you can expect certain things from us as breeders.
If you are interested in a puppy please feel free to contact us! We will be pleased to give you all the information you need!
