About LUA Dalmatians
Less than 0.1% of Dalmatians are born LUA (low uric acid), meaning they inherited at least one copy of the "normal" gene and therefore they are not affected by hyperuricosuria, they do not require a special diet and they are not at a greater risk for forming kidney/bladder stones and blockages. ​
What We Do
All our parent dogs are AKC Registered and health tested to the standards set forth by The Dalmatian Club of America and registered with The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, including at least the 3 of the 4 tests required for healthy and ethical breeding and continuation of the LUA line. All information here on our website is current, valid, and updated regularly and not information or bragging about awards we won decades ago.

Who We Are
We are a small family farm that has lots of animals to enjoy but especially love our Dalmatians and horses. Dalmatians were bred to be carriage dogs and to run along beside protecting the horses from predators. They became known as firehouse dogs when the old fire engines were pulled by horses. This is one of the things that make them a very loyal pet, and explains their energy and need for room to run...and run and run and run! We have 20 acres here at our little farm, and our dogs are very spoiled!- but a fenced back yard will do just fine with regular exercise and playtime.
Our dogs home lives
Did we already mention they are spoiled? Our dogs and our pups are raised inside the house with us! Pups also have a beautiful fenced 20 x 40 yard right outside the slider door of our office with a large covered area for outdoor exercise and playtime. Our farm is 20 acres of beautiful park-like settings including a forest and set along the banks of Rickreall Creek. All of our pets are part of the family and treated as such including every pup right up to the moment they go to an approved loving home. Pups are socialized by all family members of all ages and are extremely loving and wiggly and everything you would and should expect a puppy to be.
