In Norway today there is hardly any dog that has not got Olbero lines behind it. There are especially four dogs that had a great impact on the breed. Olbero Onceagain (black, by Int & Nordic Ch Pepperpot Pentathlon u. Olbero Orangeblossom) came via Sweden to Anne Karin Lund in the seventies and sired three champions. Amongst them Norwegian and Swedish Ch Nordic Winner-78 Ch Timanka's Nevertheless. She was the grandmother of Norwegian and Swedish Ch Timanka's Single Ace, whose father came to Norway in the eighties, Gerd and Ulf Eriksen's Int & Nordic Ch Sernland Snowy Owl of Olbero (black, by Ch Tantivvey Tawny Owl of Olbero u Sernland Dynamite), who sired seventeen champions. Her son Norwegian and Swedish Ch Timanka's Talented Clown was a great sire and is behind a lot of the top winners of today.

The most winning Dalmatian ever in Norway and the only one known in Europe to have taken Best in Show three times at International Kennel Club Shows (last time as a veteran) was Int & Nordic Ch Nordic Winner 1983-84-85-86 Olbero Onsdag Pojke (liver by Ch Olbero Organised Confusion u. Olbero Onsdag) who came to Norway in 1981 to make a new start for the breeding under Helle and Ole Christian Hoie's prefix Spotnik together with a bitch Int & Nordic Ch Cocheperro Out of the Blue of Olbero (black by Ch Tantivvey Target of Olbero u. Cocheperro Top of the Pops) . This couple produced ten champions (six of them International Champions) One of them Int and Nordic Ch Spotnik's Busybody, produced herself thirteen champions under the Busby prefix, eight of them sired by Int & Nord Ch Sernland Snowy Owl of Olbero. Olbero Onsdag Pojke was used for stud thirteen times in Finland, Sweden and Norway and sired twenty-six champions, seven of them International Champions. He was also the only one of any breed known to become Nordic Winner four years running with group wins three times (in Norway, Sweden and Finland) He was Top Dalmatian five years and he was also number two Top Dog (all breeds) in 1984 and number three in 1983. His son Int and Nordic Ch Solbo's Ultra Vox was BIS at an International Kennel Club Show in Sweden.

Int & Nordic Ch Cocheperro Out of the Blue of Olbero had twenty-two puppies altogether and fifteen of them became champions eight of them International) In addition to her puppies by Olbero Onsdag Pojke she had one litter with Olbero October Legend (by Olbero Olofsson u Olbero Onceuponatime, living in Sweden) with one champion. All these lines are represented in today's breeding and the Olbero influence is also added up through Theakston and Cocheperro lines later on.
