I have my own dog grooming business which I have been running for the past 9 years. Dalmatians have been a huge part of my life for the past 14 years and i've become totally immersed in the breed,trying to find out more and more about them.I do suffer a tremendous amount of pain,i have a badly damaged spine,the downside of this is it limits me to the number of dogs i can keep and give the right amount of exercise to.

I would have 10-15 dogs if i were fit enough and i would breed far more often than every 3 to 4 years. It is my dream to create dogs of definable type,i would love people to be able to identify dogs that i've bred just by the look of them,who knows what is round the corner,maybe i will find a surgeon prepared to take the risk and operate and make my spine better.

Over the last few years i have looked at many foreign dogs,with the mind to perhaps use one at stud, but as yet this has not happened for one reason or another,maybe some day things will fall into place.

I have been showing for the past 11 years with a number of my dallies and it has been there that I have grown and made many of my best friendships.

I have been fortunate enough in this short space of time to have become Top Breeder for 2007,as well as breeding the current Breed Record Holder. It is now my aim to breed lovely dogs that perhaps other people may like to show, that would be quite a thrill for me.

I have taken and passed all the necessary exams required by the Kennel Club to be able to judge our lovely breed,and in 2009 i was lucky enough to judge the Dalmatian Club of Scotland open show. I thoroughly enjoy judging and it is something i hope to do more of in the future.
