These pups were born on April Fools day. They are so sweet, loving and love to cuddle. This is my first attempt at creating a web site so there will be lots more to come. I do hope you enjoy your visit and come back often. I own and operate a small kennel along the ocean located in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. I am a CKC member and also a DCC member.. My first love for the Dalmatian started when I was young and I have been seeing spots ever since. We are currently "owned by" four wonderful Dalmatians. We are so excited to introduce our new baby girl "Echoviews" Just Jess at Andals. To get a look at our Jess go to our meet the gang page. My Dals enjoy walks along the beach, playing ball with our children, and after a long day curling up with our family cat, who I am sure thinks that he is a dog ! All our puppies are raised in our home with our family, as they are a part of our family which we feel is what a puppy needs to have a good start in life. Socialization is half the battle in raising a sound, well mannered puppy into a well behaved adult.

We occasionally have puppies for sale and sometimes young adults. If you are interested in owning a Dalmatian then I suggest you first check out the breed information that is on my site and if after reading all about Dalmatians you have decided a Dalmatian is for you and your family, then you are half way there. Send me an email, or give me a call and tell me a bit about yourself, if you have any childern, other pets, etc. As we would like to know what you are looking for in a Dalmatian (ie: for a pet or for show). I will be happy to help you, and to answer any questions that you may have concerning my dalmatians. I do offer both black and liver at a reasonable price, all of my Dalmatians are sold on a CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) non-breeding contract, unless deemed to be beneficial to a future breeding program. Every doll loves a playful pet—and this darling dalmatian puppy is a spot-on perfect pick! How to Recognize a Reputable Breeder So, you've decided the pet for you is a purebred dog ... good for you!

The question is, how do you find a reputable breeder? There are so many ads in the newspaper and so much conflicting information, and most of the books you read only mention the positive characteristics of the various breeds. (Common sense tells you every breed can't be as perfect as it is described!) Homes For Sale In Cartersville KyHow do you find someone who will be honest with you about their breed so you can make a truly informed choice?Princess Digital Camera Vtech The following are some of the typical characteristics of a reputable breeder:Standard Size Schnauzer Puppies For Sale 1. Reputable breeders only produce a litter with the goal of improving their breed and with the full intent of keeping a puppy from the litter with which to continue their efforts.

They do not breed to make money, to supply the pet market during a wave of breed popularity, to give the kids a sex education, or simply because they happen to have two dogs of the same breed on the premises. These last are all spurious reasons to add more dogs to the current population. If the breeder has produced a litter for a silly reason, beware! 2. Reputable breeders nearly always belong to a local or national breed club and are active in showing or trialing their dogs. These competitions include licensed dog shows, field trials, obedience trials, herding trials, tracking events, terrier trials and sled dog racing (amongst others). Competition helps to gauge whether a given dog is worthy of being bred; whether it offers the breed virtues that are worth reproducing. A good breeder knows that registration papers only mean the dog is purebred; they do not in any way confer or imply quality or breeding value. If the breeder does not belong to any dog organizations or compete with their dogs beware!

3. Reputable breeders are willing and eager to spend time with you, explaining teaching and advising you about their breed. They will make the disadvantages of owning their breed crystal clear, and it may be the first topic of conversation! No breed is perfect for everyone, and the responsible breeder wants to be absolutely sure that you really want, and are prepared to care for this kind of dog. If the breeder does not go into breed peculiarities, beware! 4. Reputable breeders will screen you carefully, to assure your suitability for owning their breed. They will not sell a large, active dog to an apartment dweller or to someone without a fence, for example, nor a tiny toy dog to a home with small children. They will refuse a sale, regardless of any personal financial strain or the amount of work involved, rather than place any dog in an unsuitable situation. If the breeder does not question you closely about your home situation, beware! 5. Reputable breeders sell only healthy stock, fully vetted, and guaranteed for some reasonable length of time after the sale.

Their dogs are tested for any genetic deficiencies can be detected by the age at which the dog is sold. Most offer, or even require, that the dog be returned to them if your situation changes so that you cannot keep the dog. This applies whether the dog is 10 weeks old or 10 years old. No responsible breeder wants their dogs to end life in the pound or on the streets. If "all sales are final", breed-appropriate testing hasn't been done (or the breeder says "Oh that's not a problem in this breed" when you know it is), or their dogs appear unwell, beware! 6. Reputable breeders are involved, on some level, in breed "rescue" work. They are loathe to see their breed in trouble, whether that be an unsuitable home or a pound or shelter. When notified, they spend their own time and money to collect the dog, have it vetted, trained and socialized if necessary, and find it a loving home. While a breeder might not specifically mention involvement in rescue work if he or she cranks out multiple litters a year and/or acts as a broker, chances are they are more concerned with making money than with the unwanted pet problem.

7. Reputable breeders stay in touch with you on a regular basis to see how you're getting on with your new dog. They do not just sell you the dog and then disappear, leaving you to cope with the problems on your own. This is probably the greatest advantage to buying your dog from a responsible breeder. You not only get a healthy, well-adjusted companion, you also get a lifetime of information, advice and assistance from an expert who cares deeply about you and the animal he has sold to you. As above at #5, if"all sales are final" beware! Remember, it is up to you, the purchaser to make your choice wisely and to do your homework. Talk at length with as many breeders as possible, quiz each one on the above items and about their breed, and look at lots of dogs. A reputable breeder will be impressed and reassured that you are concerned about what you are doing rather than impulse buying. Find a breeder with whom you are comfortable, and whose dogs you like, and pick out your dream pet.
