Dalmatian Discussions

Well there's always the exception that proves the rule at least it just drops off once dry, maybe that was the point.
Polo has come home today with his neck and chest stained and caked in a variety of farmyard excretia, predominently pale green I hope he is not intend on sharing my bed tonight.:-(

Haha! Whenever people see our two they comment on how they're 'posh dogs' how wrong are they?!

but yes, it could be because it just drops off! It's amazing, Takara can get caked in mud at the park and by the time we've walked the 5 minute walk home, she's clean again!

hi all,

another dallie owner here. Thought id just say hi. My boy's a lemon spot and although i know some dallie owners that look down at him, and dont consider him to be a "real" dallie, he's our boy we love him to bits and he does grab a lot of attention. whenever we are out we constantly get comments like "when is he going to get his spots?".

Will get a pic up ASAP when i figure out how to post images on here

lets see if this works



YAY!!! it worked, i will get a better pic up soon, one where he isnt asleep

Hi MAQ
What a sweetie your boy is and dont worry about people who look down on him because he is different - they are not worth bothering about. You love him and I can understand why.

As a dally owner you have to get used to the daft questions people ask dont you? I have lost count of the number of people who ask "where are the other 100?" or "whats her name - spot?"

My girl was 1 on 11 September and she is liver-spotted. I have been asked several times if her spots will turn black when she gets older.

I have been unable to download any pics of Phoebe as it fails everytime I try so you've done well to have succeeded so quickly

Hey I decided to give it 1 more go and it worked - so this is Phoebe and the 1 below is Sophie who is Phoebe's "Mum"

So Phoebe doesnt take after her "mum" Sophie in the slightest.

No strangely enough she doesnt. Do you think Sophie doesnt have much Dalmatian in her?:? She seems to have almost every other breed in her except Dalmatian!!

Sophe has taken her motherly duties very serious though and Phoebe is calm and gentle and just like Sophie in personality (although the mad dally shows itself now and again and those are the times when we have to run for cover). Bless her

maq, were you at the madge cull fun day - there was someone with a dog just like yours there and he was GORGEOUS!

that would be me an louis. We were there and had a brilliant day. He is gorgeous and everyone said so.

There was a certain organiser (Jo) who has a special fondness of our lad.

I probably did see you but met so many that day i really couldnt say for certain

We didn't come and say hello because Eddy was still a bit awkward with other dogs at that time...

But Louis is lurvely - I'd have been the mad one pointing at him all day!

I took this at the fun day!!! Hope you don't mind, if you don't want it up, just pm me and I'll take it off

Hmmmm..... that looks suspiciously like Deccy's breeder in the background, sitting down, dark pink shirt and baseball cap........ about level with Louis's rump!
He does remind me of Polo, who despite being black spotted, does't have many spots.... the head is very like Polo!

I don't seem to have any of him awake

What lines is he from?

Polo, aka Dalspa Liquid Gold For Polidot, is by Weaponness Hyperion of Olbero out of a Salsusa Black Jack daughter Dalspa Just Another Diamond. Quite a lot of Olbero, with a few other "big names" thrown in here and there.
He had a mixed show career, his best result being RCC some years ago, he is now 7, neutered and a bit fat but still managed to win Limit at the All Ireland Dalmatian Club champ show last July. He thoroughly enjoyed himself.
Unfortunately he has a serious medical condition now so I am giving him a very easy, quiet time for as long as feasible.
Here is a pic of him a bit more in his prime...

no not at all. i dont mind. The girl in the pic is my other halfs sister, think my daughter is hiding behind her.

It was a great day and we all enjoyed ourselves, especially louis.

Look at him just stood there.......... he drives me crazy sometimes just pulling all over, but when my daughter has the lead he walks to heel for her :? we entered a local dog show with him, and he won a few rosettes, but i couldnt get a first with him. Then my daughter takes him into junior handeling, and he pranced around the ring like he was in the final at crufts or something. And what do you know............... a 1st, i couldnt believe it, but she was so proud i had to frame and hang it in her bedroom.

aww bless!

Takara's the same, she's not too bad when in the ring but does act up, then, when my leg's too bad to move her, a young girl does it for me and 'hey presto!' she's a heck of a lot better!!

This is Alice, she is 8 months old http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i93/Alicedallis/klaralice.jpg
My first Dalmatian, but not the last, Im in love!

What a stunner!
Marie Bailey, who looks after the Dalmatian exhibitors here in Ireland, judged in Sweden last year and said she would take any of them home they were so lovely!
