🐾 PUPPY UPDATE! 🐾

ALL of our handsome little boys have officially found their forever families!! 🎉❤️ We are so excited for each of them and can’t wait to watch them grow with their new people!

We still have TWO sweet girls looking for their perfect homes! 🖤🤍

A little about our picking process! Families are assigned a picking order, which determines the order in which they get to choose their puppy. Official picks happen at 6 weeks old, after vet checks and BAER hearing testing.

BAER testing is especially important for Dalmatians because the breed has a higher risk of congenital hearing loss. It checks hearing in each ear individually.

And the spots?! Dalmatians are born completely white! By 6 weeks, their beautiful spots are much more developed and easier to see, making it the perfect time for families to choose their spotted companion!

We are so excited for these next few weeks and can’t wait to see which families our two remaining girls end up with! 🥰🐾

🐾 PUP UPDATE! 🐾

From Valor to Art! ❤️

This handsome guy is growing up beautifully! Art, formerly known as Valor, was part of our firefighter-themed litter from Ember x Toby this spring.

Just look at him! 😍 Those spots, that sweet face, and what a handsome young Dalmatian he’s becoming!

We absolutely love seeing our puppies grow up and watching them become the beautiful dogs we knew they would be. Keep being amazing, Art! 🖤🤍🚒

🎀 ONE WEEK OF GIRLS! 🎀

How are these little ladies already a week old?! 🥹 Their spots are just barely starting to peek through, and we’re getting our first little glimpses of their personalities!

Sierra has already decided that being SASSY is part of her job description 😂💕 I can’t wait to see what the rest of these girls have up their sleeves as they grow!

This litter has been phenomenal so far, and we’re only a week into this adventure. Watching these little girls change day by day is such a special part of raising Dalmatians! 🤍🖤

💙 LITTLE SPOTS, BIG POTENTIAL! 💙

The boys are officially ONE WEEK OLD! 🥳 Their spots are starting to make their first faint appearances, and these tiny spotted potatoes are already keeping us excited to see what comes next!

It’s amazing how much can change in just seven days. They’re growing, developing, and slowly transforming from tiny newborns into the little Dalmatians we’ve been dreaming of. 🖤🤍

We couldn’t be happier with how this litter is doing so far! One week down, and we have so many more exciting milestones ahead. Stay tuned as these handsome boys start showing us more of their spots! 🐾

This is Coca-cola. His patch is so unique- I’ve never seen anything like this!
The patch covers his eyes and expands back and covers the majority of the ear- but left a stipe down the center of the ear! I can tell he has some spots coming in on that section of his ear. How unique!

🐾 DALMATIAN PATCHES: PROS & CONS! ⚫🤍

This soda litter has a little extra flavor! 🥤🐾 We have FOUR patched puppies in this litter: three girls and one boy! That makes this the perfect opportunity to talk about one of the more unique markings found in Dalmatians.

Did you know that some Dalmatians are born with large patches of color instead of the usual scattered spots? Let’s break down what patches are and their pros and cons!

⚫ WHAT ARE PATCHES?

Patches are large, solid areas of color that are present at birth. Unlike typical Dalmatian spots, which develop and become more noticeable as puppies grow, patches are already visible when puppies are born. They’re commonly found on the head, ears, or body.

✨ THE PROS

🐾 A unique look: Patches give each Dalmatian a distinctive appearance. No two patched dogs have exactly the same pattern!

🐾 Part of Dalmatian history: Patching is a naturally occurring marking in the breed. A patched Dalmatian isn’t a mix or a different breed!

🐾 Easy to recognize: Those larger markings make patched Dalmatians stand out from the crowd.

🐾 Still 100% Dalmatian: A patch doesn’t make a dog any less of a Dalmatian. These markings are part of the breed’s natural genetic variation.

⚠️ THE CONS

🐾 AKC conformation shows: Under the AKC Dalmatian breed standard, patches are a disqualification in conformation competition. However, patched Dalmatians may still be eligible for other activities, depending on the event’s rules.

🐾 Breeding goals: For breeders working toward the traditional Dalmatian appearance, patches are an important trait to understand and consider when planning pairings. Patches occur spontaneously, and are nearly impossible to avoid.

🐾 Misconceptions: Some people mistakenly believe patched Dalmatians are mixed breeds. They’re not! Patching is a recognized Dalmatian marking.

🐾 Not everyone’s preferred look: If you love the classic Dalmatian look with evenly scattered spots, patches might not be what you picture when you think of the breed.

🤍 DO PATCHES AFFECT HEALTH?

Patching itself is a coat marking, not a health problem. It doesn’t automatically mean a puppy is healthier or less healthy than a traditionally spotted littermate. Hearing status is a separate consideration in Dalmatians, regardless of coat pattern.

🥤 A LITTLE SODA LITTER UPDATE!

Our current litter surprised us with FOUR patched puppies: three beautiful girls and one handsome boy! 🖤🤍 Each puppy has their own markings and personality to discover as they grow, and we can’t wait to watch these little sodas develop!

🖤 THE BOTTOM LINE

Patches may not meet the AKC conformation standard, but they are a naturally occurring part of Dalmatian coat variation. Whether you love the traditional spots or the bold look of a patch, there’s something special about every Dalmatian!

Now we want to know… Are you team traditional spots or team patches? 👇🐾
