Rolf, a Dalmatian, running in the park

This web site is about our experiences with a Dalmatian called Rolf. Here I'll focus on this Dalmatian's care, diet and nutrition, Dalmatian anecdotes and, hopefully, insights into this Dal's habits, needs and character. Please remember that this is neither an instructional nor an advisory website, rather a history of one Dalmatian's fortunes and misfortunes with his carer.

The British Dalmatian Club

Recently I signed up with a brilliant forum at The British Dalmatian Club site. It's bustling; full of very nice Dal owners, breeders and people planning to be owners, all engaged in lively discussion and debate.

The forum at the BDC is everything and more that I'd hoped to start here so, get over there (here) and get stuck in!

Um, you will come back here again too, won't you? Pretty please!? My next job here is to turn my old Contact page into a new links page, it's about time I gathered the disparate links on this site into one spot. ...britishdalmatianclub.org.uk.

Intolerance

Diet is probably the most significant factor influencing Dalmatian health: human health too of course. Getting the right amounts of vitamins and minerals, and building the capacity to utilise them once they’re in the stomach, are vital to sustaining a good quality of life. With that in mind there are some "foods" which don’t deserve the name. ...more in "Diet".
