There is a heightened interest to preserve the heritage
of Dalmatians and horses working together. This has arousing interest
in other countries like England, Sweden and Canada.
Road Trials can be found both on a regional and national level. Each year
DCA holds a National Road Trial that attracts enthusiasts from all over
the country. The East Coast has the most active competitors.
The purpose of The Road Trials is to demonstrate the use of pure bred
Dalmatians as a companion to man, in one of the roles they have been bred
through the years to perform. The Road Trials is a DCA recognized performance
event with both endurance and obedience. Road Trials are a way to display
the heritage of the Dalmatian. This provides a means of determining the
degree to which the qualities necessary to be a good carriage or road
dog are present. It is essential that the dog demonstrates willingness
and enjoyment of his work throughout. This exactly reflects the character
of the Dalmatian and brings the history of this ancient breed to the for
front.
The Dalmatian is the only dog with this unique instinct.
