tandn Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hey everyone, Ive been looking at get a dalmatian puppy for awhile now, and my husband and i finally agreed from the start of the new year we can get one, problem is im finding it so hard to get in contact with a breeder. Is there anyone on here that knows a dalmatian breeder that will be having a litter early next year? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply Grand Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 You could try going along to some shows or dog training (obedience/dog sports) clubs in your area and having a chat to any Dalmatian owners you see there. If there are any dog parks in your area you could go along there too (even without a dog) and chat to people. The owner of the litter sister of my girl (an Aussie Shepherd) even had someone stop his car while they were on a walk and ask where her dog came from, apparently he'd been having trouble finding a breeder. She was wary of giving out the breeder details as our litter was likely a one off but she took the guy's details and passed them on to our breeder, who said he was happy to chat to him. ETA - just don't be creepy about approaching random people on the street!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Where are you located? Dalmatian Nationals are on this week in Melbourne so many breeders will be away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spotted Devil Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) If you want to meet them in person then this weekend is the time to do it - local and interstate breeders. http://www.dalmatian.asn.au/2012/index.html Edited October 29, 2012 by The Spotted Devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
