A friend noticed a posting on Craig's List for a Dalmatian in trouble. A 10-year old spayed female Dal whose owner lost her house and left three dogs behind. The other two dogs have been placed, but because of the Dal's age and the fact that she is defensive with strange dogs, things are not looking too promising for her. I contacted the person who posted and offered to help, but unless a foster home can be found things will not work out for this poor girl. Can you help? She needs a dog smart person with no other dogs - that's a hard combination.

On a happier note, I got an inquiry about Bella from someone who has an Argus daughter and lives near Bella's breeder. She's ready for a second dog and has an appointment for next weekend. Hope this works out! Now, to find a home for Jingle who apparently has a wonderful personality. You can see Bella & Jingle at:

Because I so rarely have puppies available, have been involved in the breed for so long, am well known in the breed, and because many of my past buyers come back to me for second (or third or fourth) dogs, I often provide puppy referrals for litters sired by my boys. It's been fun reconnecting with many past buyers who have found my blog too. Anyone looking for a handsome, well bred, black-spotted 10-week old with a wonderful personality?
The Internet, the various Dal lists, plus Facebook have proven to be very helpful for puppy placements. There may be healthy, well-bred pups available in one part of the country, and good potential homes somewhere else. Although there are very few breeders in this area, I've often been able to help local people find quality pups as long as they are willing to drive or ship. Because there are commercial breeders (the politically correct name for puppymills) with very mis-leading websites, responsible breeders and concerned owners try very hard to help potential buyers find appropriate puppies from reliable sources.
