is there any one out there that shows dalmatians who would like to talk to another dalmatian mad owner about showing.

JeanGenie should be along soon , she is the person you need to talk to ;)

Hi April,
I showed my dalmatians for years, though I've pretty much retired my dogs now - always happy to pass on any tips!
:)

hi when is the last time you showed and what was your breeding my boy is very much olbero

I retired Harry after Crufts last year - he is mainly Olbero/Bynton/Duxfordham.
:)

HI JEANGENIE

DO YOU STILL GO TO WATCH AT ALL ?. I HAVE CUT DOWN ON A LOT OF SHOWS THIS YEAR AS IT IS GETING A BIT EXPENSIVE AND NOT ONLY THAT I AM IN LIMIT AT THE MOMENT WHICH IS A HARD CLASS THIS YEAR AND ALWAYS HAS THE BIGGEST ENTRY OUT OF THE DOG CLASSES.

I haven't been to any for a while - planning on going to watch (and socialise!) at the next Club Show, though. The soaring cost of showing was one of the reasons why I stopped going - that, and hating long drives!
:)

I AM GOING TO THE CLUB SHOW IN NOVEMBER BECAUSE IT IS ONLY JUST AN HOUR AWAY FOR ME. I ALSO HATE GETING UP ON THE DARK MORNINGS TO SIT IN A CAR FOR HOURS ON END TO END UP COMING HOME WITH NOTHING.I WOULD PROBEBLY KNOW YOU IF I SAW YOU PERHAPS WE COULD HAVE A CHAT.

If you email me (click on my name and you'll see my address) I'll be happy to chat and make arrangements to see you there .......
:)
PS - Looking at the handbook, used you to live on the Isle of Wight?

HI Jeangenie

Did you get my email.I havent lived in the Isle of wight.

I've been having email problems, April, so when it starts playing ball I'll check!
:)

Ok look forward to hearing from you

I show Dals. What info are you after. Are you showing at the moment ?

Hi Lucasbear :)

I am showing a dog at the moment. Are you going to midland counties?. Im not going I am cutting back on showing at the moment due to ill health and I have not had a good year in the ring this year :( I may give up altogether but hears hoping 2004 will bring better things If not he is quite happy at home were he is very much loved and will always be a perfect in our eyes if not in others. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Lucasbear

Did you go to midland counties if so how did you do. Are you going to the bdc open show on saturday.

I hope to be there on Saturday - dogless though.
:)

Hi there,
I'm a junior dal owner and i'd love to take him into the ring. He's KC registered and everything. We live in Manchester and the breeder has told us she is taking her dog to her first show there. How can I get involved?

(sorry to break up your convo but i didnt know where to ask)

talk to your breeder, she will be able to tell you about shows and dal shows etc! and also try and find a ringcraft in your area.

thanx for your help. I'm new to things like this, he's my 1st dog!

I hope you have alot of fun with him!!! showing is very fun! well untill.....i wont go into that!

Hi Liverdottie

We got him from Caldecacre Dalmatians in Lancaster. They have a cool web page, www.zyworld.com/caldecacre all puppies from my dogs litter have their pictures on it!
