General Informations

You should ask yourself these questions to see, if you are ready for a Dalmatian

Do all members of your family want a dog? Is anybody in your family allergic to dog hair? Do you want to spend nearly all of your free time for your dog in the next 10-15 years? Is anybody at home for the most time of each day?

Are you aware that a dog is a family member and his training needs a lot of time, reliability and patience and that you have to be consequent in everything you do? Do you like to spend your time in nature, regardless of weather conditions? Are you a sportive and active person? Do you have enough money for vet’s fees, items of equipment, food, insurance etc.? (you’ll spend per month about € 50 for your Dalmatian). Can you live with a lot of short white dog hair on the floor, on the clothes and in the car etc.? (Dalmatians shed the whole year). If you rent a flat or a house, does your landlord agree to have a Dalmatian?

How to find a responsible breeder

Take a lot of time and visit more than one breeder to choose the right one. It is important that the puppies live as a part of the family and not outside in a dog kennel run. It doesn’t matter how clean such a dog kennel run is. Their environment should be diversified and provide the opportunity to make the puppies familiar with their environment. This includes among other things appropriate dog toys and chewing materials. Puppies, which are imprinted appropriately, are excited to meet visitors and are faithful and happy to greet them!! They should be well fed and look very content and healthy. If puppies are shy and anxious, you should watch out!!
A breeder should show the following things to you:

Phote pedigree of the puppy’s parents (approved by the official national kennel club, VDH, Germany)
Phote HD (hip displasia) test and Hearing Assessment Testing
Phote document with the official permission to breed

A responsible breeder has enough time for you and will verify whether you are the right one for his puppy. If you don’t want to breed or to go to shows, he won’t sell the most expensive one to you. He’ll give you advices in an honest way and doesn’t give or sell to you the puppy immediately. In order to find and buy the right puppy for you, who fulfils your needs, you should make a couple of visits, upon approval by the breeder.

Our hint is that you should take your time for making a decision and please don’t think about saving money, because with this behaviour, you could support certain dog dealers who abuse dogs!!!!!
