Welcome to House Illyria
We are a small family with a great passion for Dalmatians — dog lovers with heart, mind, and responsibility. Our kennel is located in Lower Saxsony.
Why „Illyria“?
Our kennel’s name is inspired by ancient Illyria, a historic region along the Adriatic coast that included parts of today’s Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia — precisely where the Dalmatia region lies, from which the breed takes its name.
Although the original origin of Dalmatians isn’t fully clear — spotted dogs appear in ancient Egyptian murals and Etruscan reliefs — Dalmatia is closely linked to the breed’s history and development.
For us, “House Illyria” means more than a place — it symbolizes a connection between past and future, tradition and modern breeding, beauty and health.
This is our first — and possibly only — litter, carefully planned and raised with exceptional care and intention, out of love for our Dalmatian girl, Zelda.
We approach breeding as a dedicated hobby, guided by science and responsibility.
In line with VDH and FCI guidelines, we focus on:
• modern health care, including genetic testing and DLA typing
• raising puppies as part of everyday family life
• thoughtful planning with the breed’s future in mind
• integrating LUA to support genetic diversity and health
Our goal is not just to “produce” puppies, but to raise true companions — for people who love and understand Dalmatians in all their facets.
A- Litter:
Fall 2025
We are planning out A-Litter of dalmatian puppies in 2025. Our aim is not just to “produce” puppies, but to raise real companions - for people who love and understand Dalmatians in all their uniqueness and character.
