Dottie’s Dals

About Dottie’s Dals

Ron Hansen lives in Maine and breeds Dalmatians. Working with Experienced Breeders My Mentors Gateway Farm Dalmatians. http:www.gatewayfarm.com was the breeder of Proctor and Gateway's Dottie pictured saying goodbye to one of her puppies, Apollo. Apollo's new family is very happy now. Proctor Dalmatians http:www.proctordalmatians.net was the owner of the sire for Dixie's litter, Proctor's Sundial Nu Revolution Rocky (AKC registration # NY00003107), and the dam was Southern Charm of Gateway Farm Dixie (AKC registration #NP38997108) and these were Dottie's parents. Dottie's birthday is July 27, 2021, and she will have turned three on that date. This will be her first litter of puppies. All of the breeders involved are very conscientious regarding their canine's health and socialization and adhere to all of the standards of the Dalmatian Club of America. I have applied to this organization, but only just so, however I have adhered to their standards which my mentors explained and put in their contracts as a condition of transfer of AKC registration. Puppies are tested for hearing BAER (Brainstem Evoked Auditory Response) , dysplasia, hyperuriscosuria and thyroid. These are recorded at OFA.org http:www.ofa.org (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals.) The purpose of the CHIC (Canine Health Information Center) designation from OFA is that genetically we are assured these dogs are free of certain breed prevelant issues. In other words, we want our puppies to be as healthy and problem free as possible. Additionally, we realize it is important that the home a puppy is placed in is committed to the care of the dog and understand what to expect. As a reputable Dalmatian breeder we request an application from potential homes so we can be informed about the puppy's prospective new family and can make a determination if a puppy would be suited for the prospective new family's circumstances. Healthy Bloodline Dottie's father was Proctor's Sundial Nu Revolution Rocky (AKC registration # NY00003107) http://www.proctordalmatians.net/ProctorDogs.html. Rocky is descended from Proctor’s Dappled Hi-Flyer, who through 2019 is the 13th highest all time top show Dalmatian https://dalmatianclubofamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/2019AllTimeTopShowDals.pdf according to the Dalmatian Club of America. The dam was Southern Charm of Gateway Farm Dixie (AKC registration #NP38997108) . You can find more information at http://www.gatewayfarm.com/the-girls.html . Both of these dogs have their CHIC (Canine Health Information Center) certifications and the results of their health tests can be found on the OFA website, http:www.ofa.org (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals.) All results of tests found on the OFA website are copyrighted, but feel free to enter the registration number and you can view the results of their tests for yourself. Dottie had all of her tests for the CHIC program certification and they are entered into the OFA database. Dottie's CHIC number is 156958.
