Meet Our Parent Dogs
Meet our proud AKC-registered parent dogs, Stella and Duke. Both are valued members of our family and are raised in a loving, home-based environment on our 5-acre wooded mountain property in Benton, Arkansas, known as Dalmatian Mountain. They enjoy plenty of fresh air, daily interaction, and exceptional care as part of our family.
Below, you’ll learn more about our parent dogs, including their lineage, temperament, and overall health. Our goal is to thoughtfully pair these two incredible breeds to produce healthy, intelligent, and well-socialized Dalmadoodle puppies.
Raised in Our Home, Not a Kennel
Every puppy under our care is raised inside our home and surrounded by daily family life. From the very beginning, our puppies receive constant attention, affection, and age-appropriate stimulation. This early environment helps them develop confidence, strong social skills, and well-balanced temperaments.
Each puppy receives a “well puppy” veterinary exam, along with age-appropriate vaccinations and routine deworming prior to going home. Our puppies are energetic, curious, and social—ready to transition smoothly into their new families.
Thoughtful Breeding with Purpose
Our breeding program is built on intention, not volume. Stella, an AKC Dalmatian, and Duke, an AKC Standard Poodle, were carefully selected for their temperament, intelligence, and compatibility. This pairing brings together the athletic loyalty of the Dalmatian with the intelligence and trainability of the Standard Poodle.
The result is a first-generation (F1) Dalmadoodle—a unique blend known for strong family bonds, intelligence, and an often low-shedding coat.
Current Litter Information
Stella and Duke welcomed their litter on January 2, 2026. These puppies are now growing, thriving, and developing under close supervision in our home environment. They will be ready to join their forever families at approximately 8–9 weeks of age.
Families are welcome to schedule in-person visits by appointment, and virtual introductions via FaceTime are also available for those at a distance.
Puppy Selection & Reservation Process
Approved families are invited to join our prospective parents list. Puppy selection follows the order of approved applications.
To reserve a puppy, a non-refundable deposit is required and may be transferred to a future litter if placement does not work out. The remaining balance is due at pickup, when your puppy is ready to begin their new journey.
Our Commitment as Responsible Breeders
As responsible breeders, we believe it’s important for families to be informed, prepared, and confident in their decision. We encourage all prospective owners to ask questions, research the breed, and ensure that a Dalmadoodle is the right fit for their lifestyle.
Choosing the right puppy begins with choosing a breeder who prioritizes health, temperament, transparency, and lifelong responsibility—values we proudly uphold.
Duke is our handsome AKC purebred Standard Poodle, originally from England, Arkansas, and a proud cornerstone of our breeding program here on Dalmatian Mountain. From the moment he joined our family, Duke stood out not just for his striking appearance, but for his exceptionally friendly and intelligent temperament.
With his confident posture, expressive eyes, and classic Standard Poodle structure, Duke carries himself with quiet confidence. He is highly observant, eager to please, and deeply people-oriented—traits that make him both a wonderful companion and an ideal sire. Duke thrives on interaction and forms strong bonds with those around him, always happiest when he’s part of whatever is happening.
Raised in a family environment and now enjoying life on our wooded mountain property in Benton, Arkansas, Duke spends his days exploring the outdoors, following us from place to place, and greeting visitors with a calm, welcoming demeanor. His gentle nature and sharp intelligence reflect everything we value in a Standard Poodle.
More than just a breeding dog, Duke is a beloved member of our family. His friendly disposition, steady temperament, and loving personality are qualities we are proud to pass on to our Dalmadoodle puppies.
Stella is our beautiful AKC purebred Dalmatian, originally from Houston, Texas, and the heart of our Dalmadoodle program here on Dalmatian Mountain. From the start, Stella has been known for her gentle spirit, affectionate nature, and deep devotion to her people.
With her classic Dalmatian markings and graceful build, Stella turns heads wherever she goes. But it’s her personality that truly defines her. She is incredibly sweet, calm, and nurturing—traits that have made her a natural and loving mother. Stella thrives on companionship and is happiest when she’s close to her family, always eager for affection and quick to offer it in return.
Now enjoying life on our wooded mountain property in Benton, Arkansas, Stella spends her days exploring the outdoors, lounging nearby, and keeping a watchful, caring eye on everything around her. Her intuitive, patient demeanor shines most brightly in her role as a mother, where her nurturing instincts and steady temperament come naturally.
Stella is more than just an AKC Dalmatian—she is a cherished member of our family. Her loving personality, gentle confidence, and strong maternal instincts are qualities we are proud to see reflected in her Dalmadoodle puppies.
