Western Reserve Dalmatian Club

Western Reserve Dalmatian Club With the objective of promoting the pure bred Dalmatian, the Western Reserve Dalmatian Club was formed in 1965.

From a modest beginning, the Club has grown to approximately 40 members that meet monthly. Club members are actively involved with their Dalmatians participating in AKC conformation, obedience and agility. Members also march with their dogs in numerous local parades and others compete with their Dals in Frisbee competitions. Some of our Dals even work as Therapy Dogs, visiting with hospice patients, nursing home residents, and Ohio Veterans Home residents to bring comfort and healing to them. The members are a very diverse group of individuals, all brought together by the love of Dalmatians.
