Adoption & Reservation Process : We’re happy to offer introductory walks in our area so you can get to know us and our dogs between litters. If you’re interested, please contact us.
What is also very important to us:
we believe that providing information, honesty, and transparency to our puppy buyers is especially important! For us, the relationship with the puppy families doesn’t end with the puppy’s handover. We want to be available to our puppy buyers with advice and support throughout their entire lifespan, and we’d love to be able to continue to be involved in their lives even after our puppies have left home.
We no longer maintain a waiting list. When our female dog begins her heat cycle, we will open our waiting list. You will always find out the exact date on our website and social media. You can register for this list without obligation by phone, WhatsApp, or email.
If our bitch is mated and the ultrasound is positive, we will inform all interested parties that our bitch is pregnant. Please understand that at this time we cannot say how many puppies will be born, nor what gender or color they will be.
If you would like to remain on our waiting list, we will contact you by phone after the birth to get to know you a little better and, if necessary, arrange a visit. Our puppies are welcome to receive visitors starting at 4 weeks of age.
During your first visit with us – assuming the chemistry is right, of course – we will sign a reservation contract with you, including a reservation fee. This way, you can be sure that you will then be an official member of the Wurster Land family 😉. You can also sign the contract at home and return it to us. The reservation is only valid once the reservation fee has been transferred and does not refer to a specific puppy. Depending on the size of the litter, you are welcome to name two or three favorites from the litter. Since we always strive to keep promising puppies in our breeding program, we can only announce which puppies are suitable for which families after the audiometric examination. Of course, we try to accommodate all requests!
The puppies are ready to go to their new homes after 9 weeks. By then, they will have received the required vaccinations, been dewormed several times, and, of course, have also had their hearing tested.
Each puppy will receive an informative puppy folder including all required documentation, a nutrition plan, a comprehensive puppy pack, and food for the first few days. Before picking up the puppies, we offer a short online information evening. We will announce the date well in advance so you can prepare.
We are looking for loving, responsible families for our puppies who are willing to integrate their Dalmatian into their everyday lives without any ifs and buts. Keeping them on a farm or in a kennel is an absolute no-go for us. A Dalmatian can easily live to be 15-16 years old and will need your support, especially in their senior years. Have you considered the costs you’ll incur for food, veterinary fees, dog tax, insurance, and much more? That you might sometimes have to cut back because your dog’s needs require it? Then you’ve come to the right place.
