Hi my name is Jenny and I have a five year old male dalmatian. I am not sure if this is the right place to post this but I am having a problem with my dal....
Jenny, I am not familiar with the ingredients of the food you are feeding and how it may have changed with its now formula, however, as a general rule, if...
Hi Jenny, this topic has been discussed 'in detail' a few weeks ago in the Dalmatian-Newsgroup (dalmatian@yahoogroups.com). If you search the message archive...
Hi Boys, Girls and Spots! Does anyone know where I should go to find out agility statistics for Dalmatians? My youngster haed a very good 2002 and I'd like to...
You may be able to figure this yourself? For every placement you had count the number of dogs that were in your height that you beat and this is how your...
... The APDT will be running a training and behaviour workshop for members and non-members in Dunfermline in Scotland on Sat/Sun 22nd/23rd March 2003. ...
Hey, Yvette... My philosophy is that you can't beat most BCs, but lots of times they beat themselves. Speed kills ;-) You just need to be there, accurate and...
This message is to welcome a new member, libbysimendinger, to our list. As the moderator, I have privately welcomed all new members over the past year and...
Speaking of speed killing BC's <grin> I went to a UKC trial last weekend and there were of course a few BC's entered and I would rather have my fast (or slow)...
OK....OK...I'll introduce myself. My name is Libby Simendinger and I live on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, PA. I have had Dalmatians for 26 years and currently...
... Welcome Libby, Maybe everyone should give a little intro so we can all know who is here? I am not shy when it comes to my dogs (just usually short on time)...
Ehem....thank you for the flowers, but considering my 'silence' during the last weeks, they are not justified. I promise I will tell more about our activities...
I'll introduce myself. My name is Angela. I live in Ontario, Canada. I do not have a dalmatian, yet... I am very interested in getting one, when the time is...
Well, I suppose I should have done this welcome chastise (VBG :)) much sooner. I don't think I have seen this much activity on this list in a long while....
Yvette, I couldn't agree with you more. Although I have seen many, many BC's with faster times, many knock themselves out of the running by knocking bars or...
well it is nice to see some activity here so I will chip in with my 2 cents worth:) I live in New Zealand with my 2 dals, Chita my Australian souvenir & her...
I agree that alpha roles are bad. Just a thought on this subject. Lower status animals roll over on their backs VOLUNTARILY - they aren't forced into it. ...
... If I have heard that once I have heard it a thousand times <grin> My Rocket does the same thing about trying to make up his own course. Most of the problem...
... Hi Everyone, I disagree, I think 90-95% of the BC's out there can be beat with a properly trained Dal. I say this for two reasons, but also want to share...

Yeah, but then when you spend lots of time working with Ruff Love and doing LOTS of obedience attention work and paying ungodly amounts of money for private...
Wow, I'm really enjoying all the messages about Dals in agility!! I have been trialing in AKC Excellent A classes for a long time! I have a long legged, BIG...
... be as close to you as possible for as much as possible < that's interesting, here in NZ the aim is for a dog that can run ahead of you - they are faster...
Hi folks, I'm one of those who have been on the list from the beginning but rarely post. This is mostly due to lack of time, not lack of interest. I have four...

Gayle, You might want to try teaching Magic a half-halt. This is used to slow the dog down a stride or two before the jump. They then will put in an...
We have another new member to the list list. Welcome bridget @surfbest.net Please tell all of us about yourself and how and why you got interested in our...
I would be interested in hearing about the half halts on the list. The trouble Gayle is having with Magic is probably a problem a lot of Dalmatian people are...
Hi Karen, I'd certainly like to hear more! My 26 1/4" youngster can no way turn on a dime like those BCs and I've been working on a "tuck" command. Not...
Hi Leslie, Sounds like we have the same problem! Magic cannot turn sharply (and I don't push that issue) with the huge stride he takes after landing. I have...
Gayle, Not front crosses! I can't get there in time and there have been a few circus acts....mid-air collisions, etc. I'm working now with a wonderful...
I JUST entered my our very first agility trial, coming at the end of March. How do you get over your first time jitters??? Good Luck! and good luck getting...
