Stephanie’s experience
About Stephanie
Hello, my name is Stephanie & i am the breeder behind the exquisite Dalmatians! I’m currently in school to become a vet tech, once i finish that i will do another 2 yrs to obtain my bachlors in animal science, then I will further on into my career to become a DVM (dr of veterinary medicine). I will also go on to train to become specialized in Reproduction. I have 3 children ages 12, 10, & 8.
What makes Stephanie’s program special
Our breeding program is special because every puppy is raised like they were our own to keep. We also preserve EVERY type of Dalmatian there is. We send our puppies out with a contract, 8 week shots, life time breeder support, & a spray/neuter contract. As our family members, we think of their new families as extension of that so our doors & lines of communication are always open to them.
