Quality Dalmatians
I strive for my dogs to exemplify the AKC Dalmatian Breed Standard, with excellent temperament and health as a top priority.
Biddable, sweet temperaments for show dogs, performance dogs, therapy dogs or home companions.
Experience. Dedication. Love for Dalmatians.
I am a responsible and reputable Dalmatian show exibitors and preservationist breeder of quality Show Dalmatians & Dalmatian puppies, located on a quaint farmstead just outside of Lindsborg, Kansas. I have owned Dalmatians for 32 years and have been participating in the wonderful sport of AKC dog shows for 29 years. I only have Dalmatians, and consider them my family and not just show dogs.
I am a preservationist breeder and an AKC Breeder of Merit.

Cricket with my friend Shirley.
Cricket serves her owners as a Diabetic low alert dog! This is a job she learned all by herself! Shirley says she has saved her life many times over the years. Cricket sleeps with Shirley. When Shirley is sleeping and has a low, if Cricket can not wake her up she opens a baby gate (not latched) and goes and wakes up her room mate Vickie. Good girl Cricket! Cricket is now 13 years, 4 months old and is from my "Meriden" litter (Merica x Caden).

Queen of Hearts Dalmatians
Julie Marshall of Queen of Hearts Dalmatians, began her journey with the Dalmatian breed in 2020 with her purchase of her foundation girl, Ch JLS Queen of Hearts Dressed to Impress BCAT, aka "Ruby". In 2022 she added her main man, Marty, JLS Queen of Hearts Smart Dressed Man. We are excited to be co-breeding and co-showing together. Good job to Julie and Jon on their success!
SeaSpecs Dalmatians
Nadine Morgan of SeaSpecs Dalmatians has incorporated JLS Bloodlines into her breeding program when she came to breed her FloJo to Newt in 2005. She was very happy with her singleton pup, Skookum who was a performance dynamo. She came back to KS in 2017 to breed her Sugar to Blackie (a Newt son) and once again was very pleased with the outstanding puppies they made together. Thank you Nadine.
As everyone is arriving at Purina Farms for the 2025 Dalmatian Club of America National Specialty, I would like to wish ALL GOOD LUCK and have a great time. I have so many memories of past Nationals and this is just a sprinkling of photos of past wins and placements by JLS Dalmatians.
So many more wonderful memories of good times shared, reunions and new friends made! I wish I could be there. ... See MoreSee Less

Newt would have been 23 years old on Sept 2, 2024. Gone 5 years now. I cried big time. He was my heart, my soul and my reason. Love you Newt, your "The Dog" always! Miss you forever.

Tango is a new AKC Champion! Congrats to owner/handler Susan Zimmerman! She is so proud she has her first Champion and did it all herself! She was coached by me from KS and made new friends and had support by fellow Dal exhibitors, her performance friends, and her other friends. Thank you all for helping Susan achieve her goal! Tango also has a Trick Dog title, Scent Work Title, Coursing Ability and Canine Good Citizen. Watch for more titles coming! Good job Susan Zimmerman and Tango!
