The Paisley Breed Of Dalmatian
Paisley Dalmatians are owned by
Dave and Sue MacMillan who are located at St. Paul, Minnesota. When
Paisley Peterbilt completed his championship in March of 1985, he
became the 50th conformation champion owned or bred at Paisley. And
during that same month, Paisley's QindaBritt became the 30th obedience
Dalmatian to have earned a C.D. degree.
Although she was actually their fourth Dalmatian and third champion,
champion Melody Up-Up and Away, more familiarly known as "Pooka," is
credited with being the true foundation of the Paisley breeding
program, probably because she is to be found in the background of all
but one champion carrying the Paisley name. All of the younger dogs are
line-bred on this remarkable dog, some of them having as many as five
crossed to her in their pedigrees.
Pooka was a liver colored Dalmatian and a multi-Group winner. Her show
credits include having been a Top Ten Dalmatian, and she was Best of
Opposite Sex at the Dalmatian Club of America Specialty in 1974. But
despite these accomplishments, it was in the whelping box that her most
notable successes were achieved, such as becoming the dam of 15
champions, second in this number only to her half sister, Champion
Melody Sweet, C.D. who exceeded
her number by only one, making a total of 16 champions. Adding to her
success as a producer is the fact that Pooka's offspring seem to be
following in her pawmarks in this regard, and a number of them are
providing foundation for other highly successful Dalmatian kennels.
Paisley is basically a combination of Melody and Watseka lines with the
addition of some Long Last and Coachman. Each of these lines has its
strong points, and Sue is finding that the combination is giving them
the look that they prefer. At the time their breeding program was
started, Sue and Dave felt that there was no line that really possessed
the combination of characteristics that they wanted in their
Dalmatians, and they saw no point in line-breeding just for the sake of
doing so.
Thus they started out by doing judicious outcrosses attempting to pick
up the features they felt they needed to add. Although initially they
received considerable criticism for pursuing this course rather than
the more conservative line-breeding, these outcrosses laid the
groundwork by bringing in those qualities they had felt they wanted to
improve upon, and thus incorporating them into the developing Paisley
lines.
