Saint Rocco's Dalmatians
Who We Are
Welcome to Saint Rocco’s Dalmatians, owned and operated by us, Sean and Jessica Rugg, in Conroe, Texas. We ensure that we breed our pups ethically and we raise all puppies in our home until they’re ready to go to their new home at 8 weeks old.
Our female, Bubbles, is a joy and brings us much entertainment with her goofy personality. We hope to bring each family the opportunity to enjoy the many wonderful things about the Dalmatian breed, and we are here to help!
We have chosen Saint Rocco as the patron of our business because he is the patron saint of dogs. Please read more about him in the “about Saint Rocco” section.
About Saint Rocco
Dogs have been known as “man’s best friend” for centuries, and even many saints were aided by dogs when they were in need.
For example, there is a popular story from the life of Saint Roch (aka, Saint Rocco) that has since earned him the title of “patron saint of dogs.”
In the 14th century, Saint Roch devoted himself to helping the sick who were suffering from the plague. He visited many Italian towns and eventually contracted the same disease that he was battling.
Afraid that he would infect others, Saint Roch isolated himself by going into a self-quarantine in the forest. There he was slowly dying, but God provided for him by sending him a dog.
This dog would lick his sores and bring him bread each day that he took from his master’s table. This is why Saint Roch is often depicted in paintings with a dog (often with bread in their mouth, like our logo).
After a certain time had passed, Saint Roch was healed of his ailments and then continued his ministry of curing the sick.
For dog lovers, Saint Roch is a worthy intercessor, who can watch over and protect your beloved pet.
