[edit] DaliMiles

Rescue girl Mollie owned by Maggie and Ron Gallop doing a lovely sit stay at the 2008 trials. Maggie Gallop was instrumental in drawing up the DaliMiles programme for the Society.

Here Maggie Gallop presents the first ever DaliMiles certificate to Daphne (as you can see, she is shaking her paw!) at the Dalmatian Welfare Fun Day owned and trained by Cynthia Styles-Forsythe. This is even more of an achievement as Daphne is a veteran at 7 years old.

Aim

To promote and celebrate the endurance capabilities of the Dalmatian

Purpose

To highlight the importance of sufficient exercise for the breed

To encourage and reward Dalmatian owners to take part in activities that give their dogs plenty of exercise

What is the programme about

The programme involves owners and their dogs covering increasing distances together. Mileage can be recorded for any approved activity or combination of activities. The minimum mileage that can be recorded at any one time is five miles. This is to ensure that the programme is focused on and recognizes the endurance capabilities of the dog.

DaliMiles offers owners an alternaitve to competition against others, by providing an opportunity to gain an award that celebrates their efforts by working in partnership with their dogs.
