Welcome to Clairity Kennel!

Hello! Welcome to Clairity Kennel! My name is Tiffany Shaw and along with my husband, and children we live in the highlands of Grey County! I have always had a dog. There isn't a time that I can recall ever not having a dog. When I was young we had mixed breeds. They were amazing dogs that shaped my love of dogs and they will forever hold a special place in my heart! I became introduced to the world of purebred dogs in 1996. My grandparents brought home a tiny mini schnauzer and I was hooked!  I joined the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) in 1999. I helped show their schnauzers for a few years and became part of their breeding program before branching off on my own. My last litter of mini schnauzers was over 10 years ago. I registered my Kennel name in 2009 and in 2015 we decided to finally add another show dog to the family! We decided on the dalmatian because we wanted an active, medium, short haired dog that would keep up with our active life and the dalmatian fit our requirements.  We got our first dalmatian, Claire, in  January of 2017 and our Second Dal, Dom, arrived in July, 2018. 

In 2015 we made the choice to move from town to the country. The dogs now have a big yard all  to themselves. 

Our dogs are raised on Inukshuk dog food. They also get the occasional farm fresh eggs and fruit and veggies on their food, which they love! 

At the age of 2 years our dogs go through their health testing and are registered on the OFA site for public reference. All puppies produced will be registered with the CKC, DNA tested,  BAER hear tested, vet checked , vaccinated and dewormed, microchipped and raised using the Puppy Culture system. All breeding stock that will be bred are  standard quality, Health tested and have CHIC #'s and results posted on the OFA website for public reference. We charge $2500 for our puppies. 

We show our dogs to their championships in conformation through the CKC and are hoping to also start attending the UKC shows in the summer of 2020. We have taken agility, obedience, fitness, handling, lure coursing and sprinter classes with our dogs and Claire has obtained her Sprinter Novice. She will hopefully get her Sprinter title soon! We would love to try barn hunt, dock diving, scent detection and rally as soon as possible! Our first litter was born the fall of 2019. We have bred 2 litters since but are currently taking a break and doo not have litter plans for 2024.

All dalmatians are different and unique, just like people. That said they have  base uniqueness to them. They need lots of mental and physical stimulation and lots of socialization from a young age! They are a very active breed so not usually recommended for apartments unless you are a very active person/family. They LOVE their people! They are known as velcro dogs for a reason! Contrary to popular belief they are good with kids as long as the owners put in the time to train their children and dog!    Claire came to us in January 2017 from Echoview Kennels in Alberta, Canada. She has been our pride ever since! She loves our family and we love her! She is so intelligent, hard working and loyal! She is a bit of a princess but with the kids to spoil her she is always happy! Dom came to us in July 2018 from Laguna Dios Kennel, in Belarus . He is quite the character! His goofy, happy go lucky personality wins over everyone! He let's Claire run the show! They get along with our our Doberman, Jaz, and Standard Schnauzer, Odin.
