About Us

   My name is Robbie Donath. I Started going by Legacy Dalmatians in 2000. Before that, for about 11 years, I was co-breeder and co-owner with Heartsafire Dalmatians. That's why you might notice the different kennel names. The Dals are my kids and all live in the house with me. They "help" me clean, cook, and make sure I work hard so they get plenty of cookies and toys! 

   I got my first Dalmatian when I was 7 years old. He was my best friend until he died at age 15. Even at 7, I knew there was something special about this breed. I only compete in conformation with my dogs, but, several dogs I have placed with others have gone on to perform in obedience and agility. One pup was trained as a bird hunting dog. 

   I feel very privileged that with my start as a breeder, I became involved with dogs that possess great temperaments, beautiful movement, good coats with no allergies, nice spotting, and conformation that enables them to be all that they can be. Because: Life has it's ups and downs but, in the end we leave behind our LEGACY.....
