The Society was established in July 2006 and exists:

• To preserve the working heritage of the Dalmatian as a coaching dog
• To run National Trials, the purpose of which is to demonstrate and test the Dalmatian's traditional role as a companion to man as road and carriage dog.
• To encourage common standards for all Carriage Dog Trials and to publish rules under which any Society sanctioned Trials in the UK should be run.
• To offer advice and support to any other person or organisation who wishes to run a Society sanctioned Carriage Dog Trial in the UK.
