I'm the breeder behind Gateway Farm Dalmatians located in Acampo, CA. As breeders of high quality Dalmatians, health and temperament are our main priorities, as well as producing puppies that reflect as closely as possible the ideal Dalmatian as described in the standard. As such, our puppies' parents have been carefully selected, are health tested, have great dispositions, and beautiful conformation! Each Dalmatian puppy bred by us has been raised with the greatest of care and comes with a lifetime of advice. We usually raise only one or two litters per year to ensure the puppies receive plenty of attention and socialization. Our puppies are born in our home so they get lots of love and handling right from the start!
Liz has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,800 - $2,500 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.
“The price includes a health guarantee, age appropriate dewormings and vaccinations, veterinary wellness check, BAER hearing testing, AKC registration, and microchip with pre-paid enrollment in AKC Reunite. We ask for a $500 deposit which will apply to the purchase price. If we absolutely don't have a puppy that suits you, we will happily apply the deposit to a future litter.”
Liz may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy.
