David and Cheri
Durdel Welcome to the home
of Highland Dalmatians and Highland Ibizan Hounds! "Highland" is our kennel name. We
use it to identify the dogs we own and have bred. Think of
it as our trademark. Our site
offers Dalmatian and Ibizan Hound breed information, links to many related
sites, pictures of our dogs, and puppies and adults available for adoption. Since we have many
links on our site, it is easy to get away from us. Please bookmark our
page now so you can come back and visit us again! Catera has a new family!
We have a new addition to our family...

Typical Dalmatian greeting...
We breed quality Dalmatian puppies for conformation, temperament, and love. We got started in Dalmatians in 1991 when we adopted Bugaboo, our first pet male Dalmatian from Janeen Fox, Top Mark Dalmatians. We immediately caught "spotted fever" and adopted our second Dal from Janeen, this time a show quality bitch we named Roffe. Unfortunately, Roffe got out of her kennel and was hit by a car a few days after her first birthday. We had only shown her a few times and she never won any points, but she will always be a Champion show dog to us! When we were ready for another Dal, Janeen sent us to Anne Fleming, Madurhason Dalmatians, in Memphis. Anne graciously gave up a beautiful, outgoing little bitch to us and Highland Dalmatians was born. Dixie was our foundation bitch. Thanks to Janeen and Anne we own, show, and love a total of eight spotted dogs, all from the Madurhason line. Our breeding program is centered around this line and also includes Aberdeen Dalmatians and Dakota Dalmatians. While not everyone is interested in showing their Dalmatian, we believe in breeding according to the Dalmatian breed standard. Everything in the standard was put there for a reason and we want to keep the Dalmatian looking like and acting like a Dalmatian. Since we have a limited number of litters, we are always happy to help you find the right puppy for you. Before you fall in love with the first little spotted face you see, please take the time and effort to ask a few questions. You may not find a breeder who fits 100 percent of your criteria, but you should not settle for less than one or two "wrong" answers. Adopting a new puppy is like adding a new member to your family, hopefully for the next 10 to 15 years. This is not the time to bargain shop! Be prepared to spend between $800 and $1,000 for a well-bred pet puppy. As responsible breeders, we do everything we can to avoid health and temperament problems by researching pedigrees and screening breeding prospects for inherited health problems.
