About Arrowhead Dalmatians
My love for Dalmatians began in childhood, inspired by Disney. Since then, I have been on a lifelong journey to understand and appreciate the unique qualities of this remarkable breed.
As a proud member of the Dalmatian Club of America, I am dedicated to breeding well-bred Dalmatians that adhere to the breed standard, with a strong emphasis on health, temperament, and structure. I am incredibly grateful to my mentors, whose guidance and support have helped me grow into the breeder I am today.
Located in Cleveland, Texas, I strive to match each puppy with families based on their lifestyles and needs, ensuring a perfect fit for both the dog and their new home. Our puppies are raised in a loving environment, well-socialized through the Puppy Culture program, which helps them develop into confident and well-adjusted companions.
I am passionate about sharing the joy of Dalmatians with others.
Structure
Dalmatians are historically known for their roles as carriage dogs. Structure upholds the integrity of the breed. This commitment ensures that future generations of Dalmatians continue to reflect the qualities that make them special and maintain their historical purpose. Prioritizing structure contributes to the health, functionality, and overall quality of Dalmatians, ensuring that they can thrive both as companions and competitors.
Health
Dalmatians are susceptible to certain genetic health issues. Focusing on health can lower the chance of passing these conditions to puppies. Proper health testing offers valuable insight into the genetic well-being of breeding dogs, aiding informed decisions that improve the health of future generations. This strategy benefits not only the individual dogs but also helps protect the breed's reputation and the integrity of breeders who prioritize health. Being open about health testing and the steps they take to ensure their puppies' health builds trust with potential buyers. This trust is essential for creating a reputable breeding program.
Temperment
Dalmatians are known for their friendly and outgoing nature. A stable temperament ensures they can interact positively with family members and contributes to their overall happiness and well-being. It also results in predictable behavior, which is key for training and socialization. Breeding for a stable temperament helps puppies grow into well-adjusted adults who can comfortably interact with people and other dogs, reducing the chance of fearful or aggressive behavior. When dogs feel secure in their behavior and interactions, they are more likely to thrive in their environments, leading to healthier and more satisfying lives.
