Our puppies see the light of day at our home. They are born in a so-called whelping box (according to breeding regulations). During the first days of their life the puppies stay with their mom in a heated whelping box, which is also lighted up by daylight.
According to their age and weather conditions, our puppies are introduced to challenges of their environment and nature. Our kennel has an enclosed exterior area, which is camera monitored and furthermore, it is especially made for dogs. It has got a size of 570 square metres (about 613.6 square foot) and contains:
- different types of training tunnels
- various kinds of hoops and ramps
- many dog toys
- two open roofed over dog kennel runs with integrated doghouses
- a roofed over, free accessible and insulated doghouse
- which contains a kitchenette, a heating, a heated whelping box and a storage room
- two big sunny terraces
Furthermore, our kennel has an enclosed terrace for dogs, which has got a size of 45 square meters (about 48.5 square foot) and is a part of the house. There you can find also a lot of dog toys.
Because of the already mentioned various dog areas, in and around the house, and the rural area we are living in, we have the possibility to make our dogs and puppies familiar with nature and therefore to imprint them typical to the breed. The dogs of our kennel “Christi ORMOND Dalmatians“ grow up as a part of a complete pack (bitch and male dog).
It is taken for granted that our dogs are subject to permanent control. Because of that, playing, feeding (various types of food), training (e.g. lead work) and the imprinting of the puppies by contacting humans is well realised.
We are an established kennel, which is visited by many interested parties, because of that, the puppies stay in further contact with people and the imprinting (visitors are playing with the puppies) is provided.
Since the age of 6 weeks, our puppies are transported to their first medical examinations and short trips with a big aluminium insulated dog trailer, which ensures that the puppies are familiar with travelling by car.
As you may read the page "About us" are in our home, "two kennels under one roof", the kennel of my wife Karola Lehmann "Dalmatian vom Teutoburger Wald" and my kennel "Christi ORMOND Dalmatians" because the love to our race brought us together.
