Dalmatian Distance Log Program

In order to recognize the endurance capabilities of the Dalmatian, the Dalmatian Club of America has enacted a membership recognition program to encourage and reward club members who spend a significant amount of time logging mileage with a Dalmatian in an approved endurance activity.

Any DCA member in good standing, who registers yearly for the program and keeps an official log (“Distance Log Record”) of mileage traversed in any of the listed activities with any Dalmatian, will receive recognition from the Road Trial Committee, according to the number of miles logged.

Jennifer Staton Stoesz finishes the 2024 year with 2,692 miles with her Dals. The most for this year’s program. Total miles with the program 21,549! (Platinum XX)
