The Melody Breed Of The
Dalmatian
Melody Dalmatians have been in
existence since 1964, during which time their owners, Jack and Beth
White, have produced several Best in Show dogs, five Top Ten Dogs, one
Dalmatian Club of America National Specialty Best in Specialty Show
winner, two National Specialty Best of Opposite Sex winners, and too
many Specialty winners to count. They won Best in Futurity the first
year it was held in Chicago, and also still hold the title of All-Time
Top Producing Bitch of the breed: Champion Melody Sweet, C.D., who is
responsible for 16 champions, including two multiple Group winners. The
Whites have also bred two other Top Producing bitches, Champion Melody
Up-Up and Away, who is the dam of 15 champions; and her sister,
Champion Melody Crimson and Clover, C.D. with eight, including two
Group winners.
Melody Dalmatians are house-raised on the Whites' Rim Rock Ranch, just
outside of Fort Collins, Colorado. The Whites raise the dogs on the
ranch in the Foothills, where they grow up with Appaloosa race horses,
cattle, and even a few coyotes. They show on a limited basis, mostly
within Colorado, yet are usually well represented at the National
Specialty. Among their Dalmatians are two International, Mexican, and
American Champions, including Champion Melody Ring of Fire of BB, C.D.,
who won the Mexican National Specialty and also a Group 1st at the
International Shows at the ripe old age of ten years. His daughter,
Champion Melody Penny Lane, secured her foreign titles when seven
and-a-half years old.
The Whites like to get in some obedience work with the dogs, too,
although the pressures of other interests have unfortunately kept their
obedience titles to a minimum. They do hope to become more active in
the obedience rings soon. A fact in which the Whites take special
pleasure is that their home-breds have won both the Dalmatian Club of
America Specialty and the Canadian National Specialty. The latter win
was gained by Melody Moonlight Gambler who won Best of Breed from the
classes and was also High Scoring Dog in Trial at the same show.
Needless to say, they were quite proud of him and of his owners. This
was in 1984. It is very impressive to look at pedigrees and note the
consistency with which the Melody influence has been felt in the breed.
This kennel has certainly made a major contribution to the Dalmatian
world, and deserves tremendous credit for the success attained with
their dogs and the descendants of these dogs.
