Another year has passed, and also this year we had some nice successes in the show ring both in Sweden and abroad. We also had a new litter that we were very pleased with and excited about.

During 2017 we fulfilled the requirements for C.I.B. for 3 of our dogs: Rocco by winning CACIB in Norway, Samba by winning CACIB in Germany and Athos by winning CACIB in Poland.

Our Maya finished the year by becoming a Swedish champion and thereby also a Danish, Norwegian and Nordic champion.

Rocco also completed the Danish Club champion title.

This year again our dogs had some nice wins at Club shows, they won 2x BOB and 1x BOS at Dalmatian Club shows in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. The most rememberable show was day 2 at the Swedish Club shows in Tånga Hed - the Ann-Marie Hammarlund Memorial Club show where our Maya - Ch Orion's Belt Claim to Fame was BOB with CAC for the second year in a row. Athos-son Delicate Designs Ymer was BOS + CAC, like his father last year. Judge this year was Åke Cronander, kennel Albicans.

We did not have any top placements on the Swedish Top Dalmatian list this year, but our Maya placed as Top-7 and Athos-son Delicate Deigns Ymer placed as Top-9, being top-black male for 2017.

Dalspots G-litter is now 9 weeks old and 7 out of 10 have moved to their new owners. The remaining 3 will stay in co-ownership with kennel Dalspots in one way or the other; Dalspots Game Master, Dalspots Good As Gold and Dalspots Goldeneye. Two bitches have moved to other breeders which I find very exciting for the future; Dalspots Gold Ticket and Dalspots Glory Days.

Dalspots Gold Ticket (Freija) has moved to Finland, as a joint project between Liisa Hällström, kennel Kamilkan and Solveig Jensen, kennel T-Cart. Both Kamilkan and T-Cart dogs are present in Freijas pedigree.

Dalspots Glory Days (Doris) has moved to Cecilia Ström, kennel Lacillas. Cecilia is the breeder of grandmother Lacillas Electra.
