About the Project

Dalmatian Heritage Project puppies are truly special. They are descendants of a remarkable strain of Dalmatians that was developed in the 1970s by Robert Schaible, PhD. Dr. Schaible’s line produces the only Dalmatians in the world today that are free of a metabolic defect that can lead to urinary tract problems.

When crossed with other lines, Dr. Schaible’s Dalmatians are able to pass on this health benefit to approximately half the pups in a litter. The other half of the pups are typical Dalmatians.

Our goal is to increase the population of Dalmatians that have normal uric acid metabolism, have normal hearing and are friendly, outgoing and sensible.

Pups that inherit all the desirable traits are available to people who want to help with the goal of increasing the population of these very rare Dalmatians.
