Is it time for D.C.A. to discuss the possibility of AKC
registration of the descendants of the
Dalmatian-Pointer cross?

Response by Steve Nielsen

Voting yes for me is a no brainer. The Dalmatian Club of America is the AKC parent club for the breed and any discussion about health issues and future possible registration should take place within the frame work of the Dalmatian Club of America. To ignore these issues would not make any sense.

Our by-laws state:

The purposes for which this club has been formed are: to promote and advance the quality of breeding, care, training and exhibition of, and the collection and the dissemination of information concerning Dalmatian dogs; to define and publish a Standard for Dalmatians; to encourage and hold dog shows, exhibitions and matches; to promote and engage in research in breeding, care, exhibition and standards of Dalmatians; and in general to have and to exercise the corporate powers vested in the Club by the Certificate of Incorporation and the laws of the State of New York.

It is clear that the Dalmatian Club of America has a responsibility to carry on this discussion.
