Reviews

"We knew we were ready to find our Dalmatian, so we began thorough research on all Canadian breeders. Without debate, Brookfield Dalmatians stood out to us, not just for it’s stellar reputation but it’s endearing history—the rooted experience and fondness both Nathan and Matthew illustrate. From our very first interaction, it was clear that they are deeply committed to breeding ethically and responsibly. They truly prioritize the health and happiness of the breed, maintaining high standards for the welfare of all Brookfield Dals and ensuring that each one is raised in a loving and healthy environment. They provided clear and transparent communication every step of the way. We contacted them almost 7 months before our pup’s litter was born and received an immediate and delightful response. We knew it’d be worth the wait! By the time we brought our puppy home, we took confidence in knowing that Nathan and Matt are always a text away and ready to offer their support and expertise. We are grateful to Nathan and Matthew at Brookfield Dalmatians for bringing our beloved puppy into our lives! They continue to provide the exact experience we were hoping to find. An experience that goes above and beyond and provides the type of invaluable support one can only receive from the most genuine of people. It was not just about the transaction of purchasing a puppy! We would highly recommend Brookfield Dalmatians to anyone looking for a healthy, happy Dal and an ongoing partnership with a knowledgeable and caring team. Nathan and Matthew’s dedication to both the animals and their clients truly sets them apart"

"It’s hard to put into words just how special Nate and Matt are but I’ll try! We met in the summer of 2024 at one of Nate’s handling classes, I knew then that I liked him. I also realized very quickly just how well bred, controlled & special Bellini was (is!). She was the apple to their eye and the same was true for her! *disclaimer!* at the time I did not own a Brookfield Dalmatian.  Flash forward to Paris & Speeds most recent litter. 10 PUPPIES!! Through Facebook I admired Nate & Matt’s bond with these babies. Through a private message I said to Nate “I will have a Dalmatian one day because of you!”. I just loved how he loved them. He had me sold on a Dalmatian. I currently have a Brookfield Dalmatian! and as expected Nate exceeded my expectations of a breeder. I said it at the beginning and I’ll say it again, it’s hard to put into words just how special not only a Brookfield Dalmatian is but just how special Nate & Matt are."

"The best experience in every way with Nate and Matt!   After researching Dalmatian breeders in search of a puppy, I was unbelievably rewarded with choosing Brookfield Dalmatians. I cannot say enough about the love, dedication and commitment they have for breeding amazing puppies.   Their loyalty and passion to the world of breeding is outstanding in their commitment to happy, healthy dogs. We have had Lily (Ophelia) for over two months now and she is incredibly smart with an absolutely beautiful and well rounded personality.  I can't properly express how much I would recommend Brookfield and an added bonus is Nate and Matt for their fabulous customer service and for their love of what they do."

"Nate & Matt are the definition of passionate, engaged, and dedicated Dalmatian breeders. Their dogs are stunning, with beautiful, sweet and friendly temperaments – those who have been into Dals for many years will remember a time when this wasn't always the case! They work tirelessly to promote and preserve this spicy breed, providing endless support for their dog community as well. If you haven't already, Nate's handling classes are a must! Looking forward to seeing where they take the breed today and in the future!"

"I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a Dalmatian puppy from Brookfield Dalmatians, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience. From start to finish, the process was seamless, professional, and incredibly rewarding. Nate and Matt at Brookfield Dalmatians truly understand and love the breed. Their knowledge about Dalmatians is extensive, and they are always eager to share valuable information about the breed's characteristics, needs, and quirks. It's evident that they are passionate about what they do, and this passion translates into the excellent care and attention they provide to their dogs. The health and well-being of the puppies are a top priority at Brookfield Dalmatians. Each puppy undergoes thorough health checks and receives necessary vaccinations before going to their new homes. My puppy was energetic, playful, and well-socialized, a testament to the loving environment they are raised in. The breeder ensures that the puppies are exposed to various stimuli and experiences, helping them grow into well-adjusted and confident dogs. One of the standout aspects of Brookfield Dalmatians is their transparency. From the initial contact to picking up my puppy, they were upfront about every detail. They provided clear information about the puppy's lineage, health records, and even allowed me to meet the puppy's parents. This level of transparency builds trust and reassures you that you are dealing with a reputable breeder. Even after bringing my Dalmatian home, Brookfield Dalmatians continues to offer support and advice. They are always available to answer any questions I have and provide guidance on training, diet, and general care. This ongoing support is invaluable, especially for first-time Dalmatian owners like myself. I highly recommend Brookfield Dalmatians to anyone looking to bring a Dalmatian into their home. Their commitment to the breed, coupled with their professionalism and genuine care for their dogs, makes them a standout breeder. My experience with Brookfield Dalmatians has been nothing short of exceptional, and I am grateful to have found such a dedicated and trustworthy breeder."
