Thank you for your interest in Flashpoint Dalmatians!
In order to be considered as a future home for a Flashpoint puppy, rescue or adult dog, please complete the "New Owner Survey" and remit to Carriagedogs@yahoo.com. We offer referral to other breeders and rescue organizations if we do not have the companion Dal you are seeking.
Puppies are expected to be neutered/spayed by six months of age. Adults and rescues are either spayed/neutered or will be prior to placement. All of our placement dogs are expected to be loved as indoor companions to forever families. We require all homes have a secure, fenced in yard and agree to not allow the Dal to run free. We retain the right of first refusal should the owner not be able to care for their dog at any point. Flashpoint Dalmatians are not to be abandoned to a shelter or resold or a pet shop or other party.
*BAER HEARING TEST: Brain Auditory Evoked Response.
As you may have "heard", Dalmatians can have congenital deafness. Luckilly most Dalmatians have useful hearing as stated as such by stats presented from the Dalmatian Club of America:
Note: These statistics are representative of pre-weaned puppies.
Total Congenital Deafness (should it occur) is detectable before the puppy begins it's eighth week of development (see Ethics #'s 9 & 10)....
Dalmatian hearing is linked to the extreme piedbald gene and possibly blue eye color. All of our puppies are BAER hearing tested prior to placement. Acquired hearing loss and hearing loss due to the normal aging process is not associated with congenital deafness in Dalmatians. Dalmatians having unilateral hearing (hearing in one ear, deafness in the other) make fine companions. They are as delightful to live with as bilateral hearing Dalmatians.
**OFA: Orthopedic Foundation for Animals: For information on hip dysplasia, please click here . A dog free of hip dysplasia as depicted by radiographs submitted to OFA, a rating of EXCELLENT, GOOD or FAIR. beyond this, the dog is not found to pass the hip dysplasia evaluation. All of our Flashpoint dogs are OFA evaluated prior to breeding.

American/International Champion
Kales Wrinkle in Time TT, CGC, CD, NA, NAJ
(AM/Can Ch Alfredrich Handsome Tall 'N Dark X Ch Kales Presley)
One leg earned towards his CDX and one towards his OA titles prior to his passing.
In loving memory of Coach.
Coach is the sire of Ch Starwood's Luck O' the Irish (AKA Shammie)
Ch Flashpoint's Domini Canes AKA Fresco
DCGA Regional Specialty Winner - finished from BBE
Ch Spotlight's Obsession X Alfredrich Flashpoint
This male was incredible in both temperament and build. A larger male - 24 inches at the withers, solid long muscle and a topline as steady as a breeder could hope for. Gentle as cotton and sweet as ever. BAER Bi and OFA Excellent (as is his sister, Ch Flashpoint's Photogenic). Fresco was sibling to his Can Ch brother, Austin, owned and shown by Jackie Boesveld.
His dam, Alfredrich Flashpoint, was a best in sweep winner at MFDC under J. Carol Schubert of Watseka Dalmatians. She had 16 points and one major under Dr Sam Draper. Always the bridesmaid - there were several nice female Dals showing when she was out and she was RWD to more majors than we could count. It was like Susan Lucci trying to win the Daytime Emmys.
If you are local to Georgia, please visit our regional specialty club. The Dalmatian Club of Greater Atlanta.

We also have retired show dogs and rescue Dalmatians from time to time. Please inquire if you are seeking an older retired show dog or rescue. All rescue and retired show dogs will be spayed/neutered and placed carefully into loving pet homes. Please drop us an e-mail at carriagedogs@yahoo.com if you are looking to share your life with an adult Dalmatian.

Please note: Our Dalmatians are not in desperate need of homes. We strive to maintain the integrity and dignity of our dogs through careful screening of potential keepers. We attempt to determine the most likely permanent home through careful screening. Our inquiry as to living expectations for the Dals should be viewed as a positive part of the interview process. Matching the new owner to the right Dalmatian is important for all parties concerned. Sometimes our questions may seem somewhat nosey. Truthfully, it is because we have seen and heard a lot of unforseen and preventable dog surrenders. In an effort to prevent unnecessary dog surrender, we ask a lot of questions - all based to ensure a proper forever match. Thank you for understanding!
