Buster Buddy under Charmindals

Tacoma is our first dalmatian and is now 4 3/4 years old. He is also very special to us because at 12 months we found out he was born deaf.

Tacoma is a pedigree dalmataian which we purchased from an ad out of the local paper and were unaware of the health problems associated with dalmatians, so when we found out about this we had him castrated for the good of the breed.

	This is why all our puppies will be hearing tested to try and eradicate this health issue from the breed.
	Bearing in mind training a dog is hard enough at the best of times would we be able to train a deaf dog??? Well it's easier than it sounds!!! He never goes very far from you, always checking to make sure you're still especially on walks, just in case you try to hide!!!
	Tacoma or Tac for short, was shown a little until 12 months old. He won a couple of rosettes at a small local show for most handsome dog, waggiest tail ( dalmatians r known for this!!!) and also the dog most likely to go home with the judge!! We did enter him into a pedigree class in a open which he won reserve puppy
	Tacoma has started hydro therapy with Charm now (to help keep his weight down as he loves his food). Which he enjoys more than her, you cant keep him out of the water
	Tacoma loves nothing more than meeting his grandads and nannas as they always bring him food,play with him and take him on walks Tacoma doing what he does best!
