Forever would not have been long enough...

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.

Our Dalmatian dogs and puppies have competed in Conformation, Obedience, Agility, Rally, Road Dog, Fly Ball, Fast CAT, Scent Work and have served as Therapy Dogs, READ (Reading Education Assistance Dogs), Public Education canine ambassadors, one was a Service Dog, one was a Seizure Assistance Dog and one was a Guide Dog!

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).

Wish I’d been able to meet him but I sure love his grandpups and great grandpups. What a handsome boy and good friend to you. A life changer. ♥️

Such an amazing animal. A real champion in so many ways. Loved and missed by so many ❤️🐾
