Milestones

Milestones. Your first crush, (Judy Anderson) your first car, (Monte Carlo) when you lost your, (Car keys) I BET you thought I was going somewhere else with that one didn’t you? And placing your first pup. (Spencer)

Is he going to miss his littermates? Is he going to miss us? They say dogs scent for life. I believe it. When my 11 year old Dal sees Sue, or Sandy Kopet, he goes berserk. Obviously he had a great experience with these people. What will the next thirteen, fourteen years of his life be like? We did the best we could socializing the pups, and spared absolutely nothing in time or expense to make sure they got a GREAT start. When I decided I wanted to breed, the first order of business was convincing Dawn. Her biggest concern was tomorrow. Placing pups in new homes.

More work than you can imagine went into raising this litter. And it’s not just THIS litter; all responsible breeders devote this much time and energy to raising their litters. We are no exception to the rule, unless you count the three weeks I slept on an air mattress, driving everyone nuts with worry.

Now we hand them off to someone else. So to all you new owners PLEASE continue what Dawn, myself, Sue, and Bonnie started. Read the information in your puppy packets. Sue put a lot of effort assembling these for your benefit. They are full of information.

And please pay particular attention to what you feed your new puppy, now, and for the rest of his life. The section on urate crystals is of the utmost importance.


And remember. If you have ANY questions, or concerns, CALL. Call me, call Sue, but call.

Take care of your new Dalmatians. They are the best breed in the world.

I am getting off my soapbox now, I’m getting dizzy.
