My Dogs / Breeding - How it all began:
In our family we've always had dogs so I was the love given to those animals already in the cradle.

During my 12 years of service with the army I learned the trade of explosives master and explosive ordnance. Within that framework, I trained explosives detection dogs and drug dogs. After my service, I was still active in mine clearance, as project manager and responsible for training mine dogs. Furthermore, I graduated a study sanipractors for dogs.

As part of my professional life as an explosive ordnance manager I had in the years 2000-2002 by a mine project as project manager in Croatia, where I also met Anita & Zejlko Radic, a breeder from the famous Dalmatian kennel "Lacrima Christi Dalmatians". Very pleased with this wonderful incomparable race, I decided to take the Dalmatian male "Lacrima Christi Calypso" with me. Eight months later came the Dalmatian female "Anja" (called Dalina) to us, because I think it is very important that dogs act in a pack and grow up together. 2003 was my little pack with the Dalmatian bitch "Mochaccino Dalmatian Dream" and in 2005 by the Dalmatian "Lacrima Christi Cro A Porter" enlarged.

In 2002 I briefed me fully on the breeding and genetics, and had in Anita and Zeljko Radic excellent advisers who stood to the side and I have always supported me and advised in all breeding matters. 2003 coincided our first and A-litter.

The rise of my kennel name "Christ ORMOND Dalmatians" has a historical and traditional background.

Since all my dogs from the above strain or in conjunction with the Kennel "Lacrima Christi Dalmatians" standing, I could take after consulting with family Radic part of their kennel name, namely the Christi.

The English have the pedigree dog breeding "Dalmatian" crucial pushed forward. In England there is a Castel with the name ORMOND. Thus, our kennel name "Christi ORMOND Dalmatians" This is since 2003 internationally by the FCI protected.

In the autumn of 2005, pioneered a big change in my life. Karola Lange, the breeder Dalmatians "vom Teutoburger Wald" connection with me because they had encountered in finding a suitable stud dog for your bitch "Jameela vom Teutoburger Wald" on my "Porter".
