If you are currently living in Adelaide and are on the lookout for a Dalmatian breeder in your area to provide you with Dalmatian puppies from their litter, then this guide is for you!
In order for you to find the family pets of your dreams and not fall victim to potential scammers in South Australia who will try and sell you puppies that haven't been bred responsibly, this guide will provide you with the contact details of registered breeders in your area and give you tips and tricks on how to buy Dalmatian puppies safely.
The only way to ensure you are getting a healthy puppy that's well-socialised and fit to take home is to use a registered breeder.
Each one of our contacts below is a registered breeder with either a national or a local breed club around Adelaide that guarantees you regular new puppies from a healthy litter that was bred according to breed standards.
Instride Dalmatians is a team of reputable breeders, committed to the ethical and responsible propagation of the Dalmatian breed. They underscore the importance of health, temperament, and conformation to breed standards, ensuring every Dalmatian puppy is nurtured into a well-rounded adulthood.
You will pay anything between $1,000 to $3,500 for puppies for sale from a reputable breeder. If this is too expensive for you, we can recommend contacting one of your local shelters, because even though Dalmatian puppies are purebreds and therefore highly popular, some still end up in shelters, waiting for adoption.
In order to make sure that dogs come from high-quality breeding programmes instead of puppy mills, you should always ask for the following documentation to be provided to you before making a purchasing decision: - Pedigree papers and certificates by your local association - Date of birth / Age - Sales Contract - Puppy Return Policy - Vet and Health Checks - Microchip number - Vaccination and de-worming records
We cannot recommend directly purchasing a puppy from a cute picture you saw on a Facebook group without receiving a guarantee that it comes from a registered breeding institution and has been health checked by a veterinary. Online advertising has become a popular method of scammers trying to sell you low-quality puppies through platforms such as Facebook or eBay, and many people aren't aware they are being offered puppies for sale that are potentially not healthy or too young to be taken away from their family.
In order to avoid falling victim to said scammers and to make sure your pet is of good health and breed standard, here are some measures you can take to protect yourself when buying puppies for sale in your area or through a Facebook group: - Contact the breeder and request photos of the pups - Ask to have personal meetings with the breeder and request to inspect the puppies as well as their family and the kennel yourself before making a buying decision - Never pay directly online without paperwork and a sales contract - Make sure all documents mentioned above are legitimate https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/breeders/dalmatian.asp?state=SA https://ourfamilydog.org.uk/new-puppy-paperwork https://www.rd.com/article/pet-scams/
