What We Are
We are an American Kennel Club (AKC) Sanctioned regional club abiding by the guidelines provided by our parent club, the Dalmatian Club of America. Our members reside mainly in the Houston area.
What Do We Do?
We like to keep active in the community with our Dalmatians. We hold a Specialty Show and Agility Trials (hoping to also sponsor a FAScat trial soon) each year. We also participate in numerous community outreach opportunities, fun activities like firehouse museum events, fireman parades, and other Dalmatian community events.
We promote preservationist breeding and responsible dog ownership.

Secretary
Vicky Juarez
My name is Vicky and I am a proud Dalmatian owner. I've admired the breed since I was a little kid and a few years ago I brought home my own spotty friend (Broly). That is when my journey into the world of dog sports began and it led me to get my second Dalmatian (Dizzy). We participate in sports such as agility, scentwork, dock diving, and conformation. Training, competing, and spending time with my dogs is a fun and rewarding hobby that brings joy to all three of us.
