31 December

As we always say on this day, every year, "another year has passed"...

Foppa - Spotdog's Instant Impact had yet another great year, placing as Top Male and Top-2 Dalmatian in Sweden 2024. He succeeded in completing his German VDH champion title and his Swedish Club champion title.

Several of Foppa's offspring had nice results during the year:

• his Belgian son CIB Ch Puntinato Ballante Tic Tac Terror won his 2nd World Winner title
• his Finnish son Ch Firehouse's Yard By Yard completed his C.I.B. title
• his Finnish daughters Firehouse's Young At Heart and Firehouse's You Belong To Me completed their Finnish titles
• his German daughter Ch Fifty Five vom Arabian Stud completed her German VDH + Club and Polish champion titles
  
• his Russian son Ch Beloe Zoloto Velikiy Moguchiy Russkiy completed several champion titles
• his British daughter Tamilanda Instant Sparkle completed her Swedish champion title
• three of his offsprings at Holmankarins kennel in Finland have completed their junior champion titles and won finnish CACs

- Dalspots King Arthur became Danish and Swedish champion.

Our L-litter was born this year, and we had the opportunity to borrow lovely Dalspots Greta Garbo for a litter. She is from our G-litter that we treasure very highly. We kept the black male Dalspots Live Action and the liver bitch Dalspots Lady Gaga. They are developing nicely, both with good substance and constructions, and with easy-going temperaments. They have both had nice puppy show careers. So happy that we made the decision to have this litter! It was a bit controversial in Sweden, since their mother is a patch. There were some gossiping and bad-mouthing, predictions about an all-patch litter, but who the fuck cares ;) With the support from breeders who's views we treasure, we made the right decision!

Ch Tamilanda Instant Sparkle got Exc in a large open class but no placement. Breed specialist Donna Whincup, UK judged the males and Boris Spoljaric judged the bitches as well as the BOB class. Foppa was not to his liking, so no placement.

The highlight of the day was Patsy's reunion with her Granny Spot Donna, pure love!!
