The History Of The Dalmatia
Breed Of Dalmatian
Dalmatia identifies the Dalmatians
bred, owned, and/or shown by noted professional handler Wendell J.
Sammet, who back in the 1940's at Hingham, Massachusetts, laid the
foundation for a highly successful breeding program which produced, and
to this day, stands behind some of this country's most notable
Dalmatians. Now located at Bryantville, Massachusetts and most widely
associated with the other breed he loves. Poodles, Wendell has never
lost his interest in Dalmatians. In fact it would be difficult to say
which breed has brought him most enjoyment over the years as he has a
host of truly notable successes in both.
The early names in the history of Dalmatia Kennels include, from the
late 1940's, Champion Dalquest Rhythm from Dalmatia, born in 1947, by
Champion Williamsdale Sunstar ex Champion Hamilton Belle. Wendell bred
this splendid dog to the well known Champion Colonel Bones, son of
Champion Williamsdale Sunstar, and in February 1951 she produced a
litter which included the dogs Bellehop From Dalmatia and Blue Bolero
From Dalmatia, and the dog who was to become Champion Boot Black From
Dalmatia.
This black spotted dog, breeder/owner handled by a Mr. Sammet, had nine
Group wins to his credit (in the days when dog shows were far and away
less numerous than in modern times), and won Best of Breed at
Westminster, Morris and Essex, and the Southern New England Dalmatian
Specialty in 1954 and 1955 as well as the Chicagoland Specialty in 1955
and 1956. But it was not only as a show dog that Boot Black was
outstanding, for among his ten champion offspring was the litter that
included Champion Roadcoach Roadster and Champion Roadcoach Roadmaster,
bred by Mrs. Mary P. Barrett.
Boot Black's son, Roadster, was, like his sire, black spotted. He
completed his championship at age 13 months and was sold to Mrs. S.K.
Allman, Jr., of In The Valley Dalmatians at Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
Handled by Charley Meyer, he climaxed his show career by winning Best
in Show at the legendary Morris and Essex Kennel Club classic, which
was one of a total of 17 Best in Show honors for this memorable dog.
His 64 Group wins included such shows as Westminster, Eastern Dog Club
and Chicago International in 1957. He was Best of Breed at the
Dalmatian Club of America National Specialty in 1956, and at the
Chicago Specialty in '57. His champion progeny included Champions Tioga
Sportscar, Roadcoach Random, and Kiss and Tell From Dalmatia. Another
of Wendell's earliest female dogs, Roadcoach Frou Frou, C.D.X., was
bred by him to Champion Roadcoach Racing Colors, producing, in April
1947, the lovely dog Champion China Doll From Dalmatia.
