My passion for the Dalmatian ignited in my early childhood. On St Patrick’s Day 2013, I fulfilled a lifelong dream and Harry (Neut. CH Checkerboard Barcelona CA) arrived. I clearly remember the drive home from the Breeder's house, with Harry in the seat beside me and thinking that I had waited my whole life to meet him. In May 2015, Trixi (Neut. CH Dalillu Lady MacBeth CA) joined our household. Harry thought she was the best toy we had ever given him! I adore my two spotted friends and am extremely thankful to both Breeders for allowing them into my life.

Harry & Trixi are very enthusiastic competitors in Lure Coursing and hold the honour of being Australia's first CA Titled Dalmatians. Trixi has just begun learning Agility and we hope to be active competitors in the future. Both spots have been awarded the title of Neuter Champion in the conformation ring.

Having owned many many dogs of various breeds in my childhood, I was drawn to the Dalmatian breed originally as it suited my lifestyle and image of the perfect dog - Athletic and robust, trainable and versatile, and striking in appearance.

I have owned Dalmatians for 10 years now and have competed in Agility, Rally-o, Lure Coursing and Conformation. I hope to compete in Endurance and Obedience this year and I'm sure my two girls and I will also seek out other sporting opportunities.

My love of Dalmatians came from my my love of horses. We have all seen pictures of spotted dogs running alongside horse drawn carriages, so of course I was drawn to these dogs.

I've had three Dalmatians in my life and all have been just as special as the last. They are such smart, quirky and affectionate dog; what's not to love about them? I compete in conformation showing, occasionally lure course and trial endurance with my spotties but the skies the limit with this breed!

My first Dalmatian, a liver spotted boy - Toddy from the Retma Kennels, chose me back in 1982 and started a life long love affair with the wonderful breed. A few years later I took on my first girl, Dusk, also from the Retma kennels. These two became the foundation for my limited breeding of the Varewell Dalmatians. Both Toddy and Dusk went on to gain their championship titles and so too did at least one pup from every litter I have bred since, with two, Wolf and Sasha, gaining their Supreme Championship title. I have now been owned by a succession of wonderful Dalmatians and wouldn’t have it any other way!

My plans for Dalilove started in August 2002 when Pepper (an unregistered liver Dalmatian) came into our lives. With her smile and cheeky attitude she showed me how special Dalmatians could be. On April fools day 2005 I flew to Rockhampton to meet Terry Irving and Mili. Of course I took Mili home. Mili was going to be my foundation bitch.
My next Dally was Jendally Kiwi Affair (Fern). Fern was an overactive, crazy, gorgeous, friendly girl. Pepper was by now at least 12 years young and over the years had developed a severe heart murmur. In February 2012 Pepper lost her battle.Only a few months later Fern was rudely taken away from me in May 2012 in a hit and run. In September 2012 Blossom was born and finally I had my foundation bitch. Blossom, so far has given me 10 beautiful puppies in 2 litters. Annie and Comet (both 2nd litter) stayed at Dalilove.

Eileen Pickles, Committee

I started life with Dalmatians in 1990, when we found a beautiful Dalmatian puppy in the pet shop. We brought our little girl home and she was just the naughtiest Dalmatian you could possible own. But we loved her and trained her at obedience gaining her CD tittle.

We also started showing her and then we just had to buy her a mate. Toby our second Dalmatian was by far the best Dog I have ever owned. He also did obedience gaining his title CDX ET and CH in the show ring. And as it always happens you just can't stop at one or two. Over the twenty years we have been owned by lots of beautiful spots and still show our beautiful breed.

I have bred many, many Champions, Grand Champions and Supreme Champions including the very famous VINO - Multi International and Supreme Champion Paceaway At Rosemount.

Natasha McIntyre, NDC Delegate

I started in dalmatians because my son, who was 3, wanted a spotty dog. After much research into the breed and breeders we found a great family pet. I started conformation showing with him. I knew nothing about it or what I was doing. Met some fabulous people willing to help, making some life long friends. I now have 2 naughty spotties who fit in with my family perfectly.
