Welcome to the home of TYRODAL. Tyrodal Carriage Dogs,Siamese Cats and Llamedos Showjumpers - Carriage Horses & Racing Cars! Here is a brief history.
 
I had my first Dalmatian in 1968, at just 11 years old, over 40 years ago! He was a great introduction to the breed, a grandson of Ch. Postchaise Minstrel. I started showing him in 1972 and the bug had bitten! I cannot see my life without Dalmatians they are so much more than just a part of it!
 
Postchaise, owned by Eddie Davies in Wales, was a world famous Dalmatian Kennel of the post war period and produced many beautiful dogs. The photographs of these old Champions still have a great influence on me and my idea of the ideal Dalmatian.
 
Other Kennels that have influenced me over the years for their Dalmatians of true workman like conformation combined with pure elegance were Delvallie, Ilyricum and the world famous Greenmounts. The dogs that influenced most were - Ch.Tantivvey Illyricum Pyrus, Ch.Gwen of the Wells, Ch.Cabaret Copyright, his son, Ch.Postchaise Turpins Shadow & Ch.Greenmount Golden Guinea These influences have helped with the making of Tyrodal and the Dalmatians so typical of this affix. (see pics below)
 
I was a dog trainer at our local obedience class, during the time I was working Tyrodal Tribal Warrior in the early 80's. We have also always worked our dogs alongside our horses and so, have a great enthusiasm for the working abilities of the Dalmatian and would like to see huge support for the Carriage & Road Dog Trials!  And I have been a dog groomer for over 25 years, I am currently studying, Advanced Nutrition for Dogs and Cats, i am district rep for the British Dalmatian club & a championship show judge. So as you can see, dogs really are my life! its probably genetic! my grand father bred Cockers & Poms! And even Kelly is a member of the National Association of Registered Petsitters, a judge & a commitee member of the British Carriage Dog Trials  so working with animals is in her blood too! Kelly now works for the RSPCA.

The health of the Dalmatian as a breed, is my top priority and I will do all in my power to safeguard & further this issue! Through doing so, I believe I am helping & safeguarding its future!  Here at Tyrodal we have imported dogs to expand the gene pool. We KC/BVA Hip & Elbow score as well as hearing test all our dogs.  We also strongly support the US backcross project & hope to soon import a Normal Uric acid Dalmatian from the US (Dalmatians are the ONLY breed that suffers with HIGH Uric Acid & does not posses the normal gene that other dogs do) The backcross project as isolated this gene from the one pointer used 30 years & 14 generations ago - THE SOLUTION TO A MAJOR HEALTH PROBLEM is available!! Read hear I for one will not standby & do nothing about this problem (even though there are those, that  refuse to acknowledge that there even is a problem) I care little about being "unpopular" amongst my peers. I care about the Dalmatian!!

 
We are extremely fortunate that we live in a very large house surrounded by large garden & paddock. We also have 7 acres & stables!
Our dogs live life to the full be it a day out in the mountains/forrestry, helping out in the stables, a days work with the horses, training or just sunbathing in the conservatory! This reflecs in their muscular condition! We DO NOT keep them mollycoddled & caged in case they mark themselves for showing!!
Our dogs & even our litters of pups DO NOT spend their lives in a cage, but live as part of OUR lives!


 In 2004 we added Siamese cats to the Tyrodal affix, I have always loved Siamese and could not put off having them any longer ! (well, life's too short ! )
 
We also have a love for the Danish Knabstrupper spotted horse. We have a breeding program well underway! so do checkout our horse pages!

The story continues........!!!
 
Best Wishes,
