Was established in 1989. Our Affix is a combination of The Chandhau - a horse drawn Carriage and Dally which is the “pet” name for a Dalmatian. Our first Dalmatian, a male called Solo was the Start of our love and devotion for this glorious breed. However our association with dogs and other pet animals goes much further back. .I was brought up with gun dogs - Irish Setters and English Setters in Norway. I was given my first dog at the tender age of 8 - an Airedale. He was retired from the show ring so the previous owners wanted to give him away. Today he would have been classified as a “rescue” dog. He was very much a pet and the couch was where he lived. The only time he was keen to be out was when we had snow, and in Norway we have a lot of that. He would like nothing better than staying outside and all we would see was his black nose. I entered my first dog show with one of our Irish Setters at the tender age of 15 and was totally bitten by the bug as I won a first in junior class. I was well and truly hooked Being a typical Teenager I lived only for the dogs and horses. I had my own horse (an Anglo-Arab) at 16 and did a fair amount of show-jumping. The family in Norway had and have many different breeds of dog over the years: Giant Schnauzers, Dachshund, Flat Coated Retrievers, Irish Wolfhound, Great Dane and Boston Terriers. I was one of the first people to import an English Bloodhound to Norway. The year was 1974, and it caused a bit of a stir on the show scene, as they were such a rare sight. I married an Irishman and their family pet was a Fawn Pug. I had a horse (an Irish hunter) in our early days of marriage and continued with show-jumping and also some dressage. When our daughter Victoria was born we decided to get a pet, after we moved back from the Middle East. So we set our hearts on a Chow Chow. She was called Tinker.
Not the best of breeding but she was extremely fit. There are few Chows in the ring these days which could run with a jogger for several miles. She was a great dog that we sadly lost after a year. It was such an upset so we looked long and hard for another breed. We totally fell in love with the Dalmatian and then when we got our first, Solo - Country Point to Chandhally in 1989 we were hooked.
Victoria and Solo at 4 months old Ida just messing ‘a-boot’ In 1991 we bought our 2nd Dalmatian Ida Hk. Ch. Dalregis Celeste Aida to Chandhally. Poor Solo just didn’t know what hit him. Sadly he died at an early age so we were left with Ida for a while. We then moved from UK to Hong Kong in 1992, and Ida - Hk Ch Dalregis Celeste Aida To Chandhally came with us. In 1994 we imported Duke - Hk Ch Dalrannoch Citizen Kane to Chandhally (from Australia)
Duke as a pup Duke and Ida on the patio in Hong Kong We finally moved back to UK in 1996, with the 2 dogs having to spend 6 months in quarantine. In 1997 Duke was mated to Dalregis La Serenata - full sister of Ida and we got wonderful Moss. Irish Champion Dalregis Shooting Star of Chandhally. So all of a sudden we had three Dalmatians ! It never rains but it pours. She was just super at jumping straight up and down and still is.We reckon that comes from her Father who is Australian. Perhaps a kangaroo got in there somehow! MOSS sprawled out. Well fed Moss, the thinker ??
Moving back home also took on a whole new challenge for me as I was asked to judge Dalmatians. I was really honored and that set me up for many more shows to judge. I have been judging Dalmatians on a regular basis ever since, and had the honor of judging Bitches at our Club Show in November 2006 and I am grateful for the super entry that the Dalmatian Show people gave me. I am on the British Dalmatian Club , Northern Ireland Dalmatian club and North of England Dalmatian Clubs “A3” judging list I also judge a number of other breeds such as English Springer Spaniels, Pugs, Shih-Tzu ,Border Terriers ,Gordon Setters etc I am a Kennel Club Accredited Breeder. For more information contact The Kennel Club SKY CHANDHALLY CHANTILLY LACE came along almost 9 years ago. She is the most fantastic dog we have ever had. She is beautiful both in body, mind and soul. Her temperament is absolutely flawless. And I am thrilled to say that this she has passed on to ALL her offspring.
Me and Sky Ida and Me “gone but not forgotten” We travel around the UK and Ireland, Scandinavia and Europe doing a fair bit of dog shows and some golf in between. The friendships we have found through our dogs and the dog shows are fantastic and we are hoping for many more years in and out of the ring. Sky, CHANDHALLY CHANTILLY LACE and her daughter Pia: CHANDHALLY SNOW QUEEN. The next generation of CHANDHALLY‘s, which were born 22 nd December 2004,
Pia at 11 weeks:
Pia’s temperament is even better than her mother -if that is at all possible- She adores everybody and greets friends and family with a beautiful big smile and a “ vocal “ sound that sounds like HELLOOOOO. It is wonderful. At dog shows she climbs on everybody - She tries to sit on their lap so that she can give and receive cuddles and kisses. A truly unique Dalmatian in every way. At the age of 3 years old - Pia was mated to French Champion -Troilus De Puech Barrayre -7 puppies were born 2nd November 2007 . A super litter of 5 bitches and 2 dogs.They developed fast and grew into some super puppies. All have a very god temperament and well adjusted to family life having lived in the house with us all. Well the decision had to be made. Do we keep a bitch as per usual or a dog.? Well in my heart I really wanted a Male but I said last time-6 years ago-never again. But here we are. We did indeed end up with a Male. Hall is 5th generation of CHANDHALLY as our male Duke- HK Ch Dalrannoch Citizen Kane to Chandhally was Father of Moss. Moss- Ir Ch Dalregis Shooting Star of Chandhally who is Mother of Sky. Sky - Irish & International Champion Chandhally Chantilly Lace who is mother of Pia- Chandhally Snow Queen and Hall is Pia’s son.. How time flies. But to top it all Hall’s fathers -Fr Ch Troilus De Puech Barrayre’s Great Grand father -is Dalregis Desperado is Full litter brother to Moss’s Mum - Dalregis la Serenata and our own Ida - HK Ch Dalregis Celeste Aida to Chandhally ..So the world that we live in - is not that big- even for the dogs! .And we traveled over 3000 miles to do this mating.. But well worth it.. Hall or CHANDHALLY CUVEE DU PRESIDENT. A black dog with such tremendous laid back character.Many people who have met him and know our other dogs remarks --” He is just like the other mad ones “ ..Delighted to see you. Tail doesn’t stop wagging and he wants to be with you all the time.Wash your face, get on your lap. What a joy and so lovable. Here he is at just 6 weeks old....
