Spots & Spurs Ranch

Directions

We started our puppy venture with Marshall to be our loyal equine protector. Dalmatians are a medium sized breed (40-60lbs) and very energetic and playful.

Spots & Spurs has rapidly expanded to become a full service equine facility offering boarding and training services, dalmatian breeder and farm services raising various livestock including angus cattle, berkshire pigs, lambs and poultry. Our family absolutely fell in love with the Dalmatian breed, so along came Maze, Marla and Marie to complete our puppy family. Two years later, we decided to share our love of dalmatians with our community and hope to bring back ancient traditions and heritage with dalmatians living alongside equines. Their historic ancestors were bred to protect livestock, mostly horses, during carriage rides in the 1800’s. Although not often seen today, our pups have maintained their deep instinct to serve our horses in our farm life. They are extremely smart, fast learners who can be taught agility, protection, hunting/retrieving, or special needs/support dog skills. Their versatility can serve many different purposes whether as a pet or as a working dog breed. Our pets are raised in a family home with lots of exposure to children and other animals. Our 5 children are actively involved in their day to day care, specialty care, whelping, weaning and training processes for the pups. We take great pride in caring for our herd and all parents and puppies have undergone necessary veterinary care to ensure their health as priority. Our first litter came in November 2023 and we hope to continue creating a community connection with our Dalmatians, their equine friends and new families.

These horses represent more than beautiful faces and impressive pedigrees. They represent our vision of bringing together exceptional genetics, respected Canadian breeding programs, and generations of Western horsemanship right here in Northern Ontario.

From halter and pleasure horses to trail, ranch, cow, and running-bred performance prospects, we’re building a diverse program with something for everyone—from families looking for their next dependable partner to competitors chasing their next champion.

Every horse has been selected with purpose, and we’re incredibly grateful to the breeders who have entrusted us with their genetics and their hard work.

Too many Palominos? …Sorry, I don’t understand the question.

Some folks collect diamonds, we collect Palomino Princesses. A golden sunset just isn’t the same without a couple yellow horses in it.

🐴😂 Around here, we don’t count horses.

That’s a sacred number, known only to a select few… and under absolutely NO circumstances do we say it out loud.

… Especially not within earshot of our husbands or accountant. 🤣
