My association with dogs began when I was ten years old. They are magnificent creatures and they are unique in character. This applies to both pedigreed and non-pedigreed dogs. It would not be far wrong to say that I have seen a lot, heard a lot but I dare not laid claim to know the lot, because at my age, I am still learning. Knowledge is something that is never ending. It is with this concept, that I am still trying to solve some of the nagging problems in dogs especially the Dalmatians and hope to share some of my experience with anyone interested and serious about keeping, breeding or just owning a dog for the shows or as pet.
There is no such thing as a “Perfect”/“Ideal” dog anywhere in the world. The only perfect dog you find is from paintings and textbooks that has been doctored with cosmetic changes and its standard and specifications being written all over it. So don’t be fooled by people telling you that he has a beautiful and perfect specimen. Beautiful perhaps, but not perfect. What is important to a would be dog owner is to have a balanced animal. What is meant by balanced could well be summarised as follows: shape & size; colour & markings; temperament & behavior; pedigree & bloodline. If all things are about equal, then you are reasonably assured of a quality animal, which will not be a disappointment.
Was I influenced and inspired by Disney’s 101 that the Dalmatians was the choice of my breed? The answer is a positive NO. A person of my status will never and can never be influenced by motion pictures, otherwise there is Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, Beethoven and perhaps many more to come. I select the Dalmatians on the basis that it is the most challenging and unique dog for breeding amongst the 193 recognised breeds in the doggie kingdom. Life must have challenges, mistakes can ill afford, risks must be well calculated; only then when you are prepared for all these you are on the right path in finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. This is the philosophy in breeding and when I have successfully brought up a litter of Dalmatian puppies and they are ready to be placed in new homes at the end of the six to seven weeks of toil, the immense satisfaction is beyond words to express.
To those of you who are interested in this breed, I have the knowledge and expertise to guide and advise you all the way. My doors are opened 24 hour a day. Public Holidays and Sundays are not in my vocabulary. I am only too pleased to share and impart some of the peculiarities related to the Dalmatians with you. If I cannot help you with answers that are convincing, the Internet could or perhaps overseas breeders may have the answers for you. I am always your friendly breeder and no matter what you want to know my answers are impartial, sincere, and unbiased. There will be no sales talk, no pressure on you to buy my puppies. You may not be qualified to purchase my puppies or you may change your mind when you know more about the Dalmatians. But I can assure you after your visit you would have acquired the wisdom in selecting the correct breeder; the one who will always have your interests at heart.
