I owned my first Dalmatian in 1984 and used to take her out with a friend's pony and carriage although she always liked to run in front of the pony. I was originally involved with showing and qualified two of my dogs for Crufts but have had rescue dogs from Dalmatian Welfare since 2001.

I have always had a keen interest in the working heritage of the breed and have been a member of the BCDS since its formation in 2006, although the dogs I owned then were too old to work. It was not until I took on rescue dog Benson in 2010 that I had a dog to train, and I was delighted when he gained his Bronze award at the National Trials in 2011. I have recently acquired a driving pony of my own and a new puppy, Ellie who I am looking forward to training to accompany Benson behind the carriage.
