Dalmatian puppies for sale in Carlow

We have seven beautiful Dalmatian puppies looking for their forever homes!

Their mother, Bonnie (5 years old, black and white spotted), and father, Twix (2 years old, liver spotted), are both strong, loving, and well-socialised with our family.

A Brief History of the Dalmatian

Dalmatians have a rich history, dating back centuries. Originally bred as carriage dogs, they ran alongside horse-drawn coaches, providing protection and companionship. Their high stamina and intelligence made them ideal for guarding carraiges and their cargo. Over time, they became popular firehouse mascots, hunting dogs, and circus performers, thanks to their agility and striking appearance.

Stamina & Temperament

Dalmatians are known for their incredible endurance and energy. They are loyal, intelligent, and playful, making them excellent companions for active individuals and fun families.

However, like all dogs, they do require regular exercise to stay happy and healthy.

How to Spot a Well-Belted Dalmatian

A well-belted Dalmatian has evenly distributed, distinct spots across its body.

Each puppy in this litter has unique, well-defined markings, making them stunning examples of the breed.

Health & Care

All puppies have been vet-checked, wormed, microchipped, and vaccinated, ensuring they are in top health and ready for their new homes.

These puppies would thrive in homes that:

• ✔ Have active families who enjoy outdoor activities
• ✔ Have space to run and play (a yard is a plus!)
• ✔ Can provide training and socialisation
• ✔ Are committed to regular exercise.
