Hazel was our very first bitch. After waiting 10 years to gain as much knowledge as I could before looking for a suitable bitch with enough qualities to start my own breeding line, 
I fell in love with her sire Irish Champion and GB Champion Dalynrics Mister Dillon. So when I heard he was siring his first litter in Ireland, I provisionally booked a puppy and went over to find 2 beautiful liver spotted girls to choose from. Hazel made a 'beeline' for me, so after a long day trying to decide, she finally chose me!
 
She has surpassed all my expectations, with her beautiful temperament and good construction, Hazel has given me so many exciting wins culminating in gaining her Irish and International Champion titles (the first irish bred Dalmatian to gain both these titles).
 
An absolute joy to own, she is just 'queen bee' at home. A prolific smiler and always melts everyones hearts. At 11 yrs of age she is now retired from her busy show career - She will just be doing a few veteran classes and continuing to teach new junior and adult handlers the ropes.
 
Hazel has had two litters and proved to be an excellent mother. She took it all in her stride and held my hand all the way!
 
One of her daughters is now an Irish & International Champion
 (Jabbawock Bombastic from Kasara)  
Another daughter; Comfrey (Jabbawock the Ringleader), has gained her Kennel Club stud book number, won 2 Irish Major green stars and is being consistantly placed at Championship shows.
Her son; Conner (Jabbawock The Conquistador at Dalmark), has also his stud book number by winning a reserve challenge certificate.
I also have at home her son (from her 2nd litter)
Charlie (Jabbawock Juxtapose).

Hazel has won her Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze award
 

Typical Show Critiques: 
 
Senior Veteran Class at British Dalmatian Club Show:
" L/W of 11 years. What a star, what a show girl!, such a credit to her breed & her owner keeping her in tip-top condition"
             Mr Peter Jolley (All-rounder UK)
 
"Well balanced liver with well-distributed spotting. Good demeanour and friendly temperament. Correct size and well constructed throughout. Excellent tail set and carriage, good feet and eye shape, presented in good coat and general condition. Moved well with style and purpose."
            Mr Mike Burdon (breed specialist UK)
 
 
"Although I would like a stronger head on her, I finally opted for the other charms of this very feminine and delightful bitch. Liver of good colour and decoration and in superb condition. I liked her size. She is well boned with the truest of fronts. Devoid of exaggeration in shape, her outline flows so harmoniously, giving her appeal both in stance and when moving. She has a delightful temperament and was at one with her handler at all times. Gave her the nod on her better hindquarters and more positive hock action."
            Mr Albert Wight (All-rounder UK)
 
 
"Lovely outline. Well-proportioned liver and white bitch. A muscular femininity moving with grace and drive. Good turn of stifle, tuck-up and spring of rib, all flowing on and onto one another. She showed well and was in good coat and overall condition"
            Miss Frances Gee (breed specialist UK)
