Some other important pictures for dalmeadow
"... both lovely puppies. He won on the day but I think, really, that the bitch is better"
Australian judge Mr Brian Venables (Trailblazer Dalmatians), on seeing Eng & Am Ch Washakie Dancing Brave and
Eng Ch Washakie Indian Summer in the ring as puppies.
With those words we became bound up in the fortunes of two quite remarkable Dals.
These litter-mates went on to account for four Crufts BOB (including a Reserve In Group),
several English Specialties - all three in one year,
two NOEDC Dal of the Year competitions, and the first BIS All Breeds
win by a Dalmatian for over 20 years.
Pam and I were in attendance to see their last ring appearance,
Crufts Dog Show 1998, at which Indy, aged 9, was awarded Reserve Bitch and
Wolfie was placed second in Veteran Class behind his old adversary
Ch Flutist of Frohocks - the only other BIS All Breeds Dalmatian in the past 20 years.
Sebastian with Mum Indy doing service as models for an English Daily
Telegraph fashion spread shortly before he came to Australia. Although quite
successful in England, beating 120 pups for a final berth in the Puppy of
the Year contest a few days before leaving, he was, even then,
showing the height that would keep him from the ring in Australia.
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!
Retrievers on the hunt. They continue to be a great source of pleasure
to us with one of our 'sons' now close to his 1,000 points and several others
earning their show and obedience titles.
And when you just want to sit quietly a Golden beats a Dally any day!
CH Dalmeadow Chestnut Teal, our first Golden Champion, and the mother of
three champions from her only two litters.
Her mother George (Goldog Alpine Georgina) still acts as
assistant den mother (and convenient bed on cold days!) for our dally pups.
take me home Tantu!
