Another year has passed and again some really nice results during the year, both in Sweden and abroad.


Again our Samba (CIB NordCh Mellanmöllan Honey Pie) got a top placement in Sweden: Top-3 and best black-spotted Dalmatian 2018!!

She had a great year with some BOB and BOS plus 2nd best bitch at the Swedish Club shows day 2 in Tånga Hed.


This year our Ch Orion's Belt Claim to Fame gave birth to her first litter the 30th of April (Dalspots H-litter). In August, when the puppies were 16 weeks old, she placed 3rd in the champion class at the World dog show in Amsterdam, a class with 20 champion bitches.Three weeks later in September, she completed her C.I.B. title by becoming BOS at the Bremen IDS with 60 Dalmatians entered. In September she also took BOB at the Swedish Club show in Helsingborg, while her daugther and son Dalspots Hot Gossip & Dalspots Head Coach (5 months) were BOB/BOS-puppies among 15 puppies.


Our G-litter from 2017 gave us 3 CAC-winners this year: Dalspots Game Master took 3x CAC and was NordJW-18, Dalspots Glory Days took 3x CAC of which 2 were at Club shows for breed specialists, and Dalspots Goldeneye took 1x CAC.


Dalspots Hot Gossip moved to kennel Spotdog's and had some really nice results at puppy shows during the autumn. She was BIS-2 puppy at Herning IDS, BOB-puppy at the Swedish Club show in Helsingborg, and BIS and BIS-4 at All-breed puppy shows.
