About Charmain
I am Charmain and live in southeastern New Mexico. I am the owner of ECMO Farm Dalmatians and ECMO Farm Labradors. We love to raise our kids and dogs on our farm with room to roam and explore together. As an active family, we dabble in the AKC CGC program, trick dog training, dock diving, fast cat, and barn hunt. Health tested and loved, it's an honor to share well-rounded puppies with others.
What makes Charmain’s program special
We raise our puppies in our home full of love and cuddles. They are socialized with our children, dogs, and farm animals. We believe in health tested parents & we are part of AKC Bred with Heart program. All ECMO Farm puppies are raised using Puppy Culture protocols to grow confident, healthy, well-rounded companions for families to enjoy for years to come.

Why Charmain started breeding
Our love for Labradors found us wanting to share the amazing family dogs with others, so we began breeding in 2004. In 2016, we added Dalmatians to our family and fell in love with their fun-loving personalities and adventurous stamina, similar to Labradors. Health testing is critical and doing so allows us to share puppies that are healthy and happy with others.
