History of JLS Dalmatians

JLS is the name that I chose to distinguish the Dalmatians of my ownership and/or breeding. I do not operate a large kennel facility. All of my Dalmatians are house companions and are considered my children. I keep a small number of dogs myself to ensure their quality of life and mine! I strive to breed sound, healthy Dalmatians with good stable outgoing temperaments. After that is achieved, I hope for some really great specimens of the breed which I hope will compete in conformation, obedience, and performance events.

My very first Dalmatian pedigrees and my very first litter included dogs from the Van-Dal, Little Slam, Fowler's, Marjon's, Coachman and Erin.

Perky & Barkley



High-Dal's Perky Polka Dots & Vandy's Lady Barkley

High-Dal's was my first kennel name and was used in naming the Dals from my very first litter out of my Barkley.




The JLS breeding program began with the purchase of a bitch from the Givens, Ch Givens Dalivered Star CGC HIC, "Starlet". Starlet's pedigree combines a Bar None bred "Cain", BISS Ch Igdaliah's M&M Candy Cain CD, daughter with a Givens bred Cain son, which includes some great old dogs from classic lines such as Coachman, Tuckaway, and Korcula. And predominantly, the great show dog and great All Time Top Producer "Mickey", Ch Count Miguel of Tuckaway.

I chose to do a line breeding for Starlet's first litter sired by Ch Givens Special Delivery, "Macho". From this litter I got the following promising 1st generation JLS show dogs: Ch JLS Making Great Strides, "Strider", Ch JLS Shades Of The Past, "Shady Lady" and JLS Darlin Jill CD, "Jill".



I then acquired a lovely bitch bred by the Rogers of Lakeshore Dalmatians, Ch Lakeshore JLS Millenia Belle, "Millie". Millie comes down from Hollytree on the dams side and also includes dogs from Paisley, Coachman, Centurion, Alfredrich, MGR, and Tuckaway lines. A great pedigree which incorporates nicely with my dogs.

Thank you to Sharon & Dave for allowing Millie to come and live with me in Kansas!

"Millie" and "Strider" produced the following 2nd generation JLS Show Dogs:
BISS Ch JLS Just A Fig Newton (L), "Newt" and Ch JLS Patience Times Two RA, "Tutu".

We are excited about the future of our breeding program. Newt is producing wonderful puppies with outgoing sweet temperaments, his exceptional topline and tail set, his stylish body as well as his \ flashy clean flowing movement. He has several puppies taking the ring by storm and several more soon to hit the rings.

My overall goal for the JLS line is to be known to consistently produce Dalmatians with good temperaments & intelligence, good health, soundness and type with a reputation for lovely effortless side gait. And to always compete and participate in the world of dogs with the upmost honesty, integrity and fairness.

I would like to thank my good college buddy, Leigh Ann Montoy, for introducing me to the world of AKC dog shows and purebred dogs. Little did I know what she was getting me into back then!

And thank you to the many friends I have made at the shows over the years for your support, cheering, friendship and advice. You guys are great! I hope I will have many more years in this wonderful breed and with my wonderful dog friends.
