I would like to thank exhibitors for the excellent entry despite the current financial situation. I have been in the breed for over 30 years and feel the need to make the following comments. Over the past year several judges have commented that there is no longer any type, which I would agree, there is also a vast difference in size, many being way over the standard. I am concerned with temperaments, there are far too many who would not be handled and were visibly upset and unhappy. The breed standard calls for outgoing and friendly, free from nervousness and aggression, it is my opinion that these dogs should not be shown and certainly should not be bred from. Movement left much to be desired, many moving close behind or crossing over in front coming towards me. What has happened to the muscular, sound athlete Dalmatian? Quality has deteriorated, I do not know if this is due to exhibitors just buying a puppy then subsequently deciding to show, or to breeders selling puppies as show quality when they obviously are not. I also found several Livers who I thought were black until I looked at their noses. I was pleased with my overall winners who I felt met the breed standard in both conformation, temperament and movement.
