Rescue Dogs Hit the Stage for '101 Dalmatians Musical'

Rescue Dogs Hit the Stage for New '101 Dalmatians Musical'
















It's great to see rescue dogs getting such a fantastic second chance in  THE 101 DALMATIANS MUSICAL which is a Broadway theatre experience for the entire family… about what it means to be a family... canine and courageous. More than a simple story about good versus bad (Dalmatians Mr. & Mrs. Pongo against Cruella De Vil and the Baddun brothers), this Broadway musical shows how a family bands together to overcome every hurdle and hardship in the most difficult times. Many dalmatians are aquired on impulse and are not as forunate as the dogs featured in the musical when they need rehoming. The 101 Dalmatian Musical Home page addy is below:

Since Christmas has passed, the secret is out at Sarasota, that we have a litter of gorgeous dallie puppies by SARASOTA DEVIL'S DUE from SARASOTA ACANTHUS.
We are pretty cautious about allowing puppies to be given as presents, prefering the person who is to be the owner of the dog to be involved in the decision making process. One of our puppies is going to a home which is extremely dalmatian savvy, having trialed Bhalgair Southern Comfort CD ET, who is still going strong at 10 years of age now competing in Rally O. Here is a pic of little Prada who is going to join him at his address in Dalmatian Court. Now that's a pretty cool address! (If you're a Dallie)

"Of English Dogges" written by Abraham Fleming in 1576 we read:-
'Our shepherdes dogge is not huge, vaste, and bigge, but of indifferent stature and growth, because it hath not to deal with the bloudthyrsty wolf, sythence there be none in England, which happy and fortunate benefite is to be ascribed to the puisant Prince Edgar, who to thintent ye the whole counterey myght be evacuated and quite clered from wolfes, charged and commanded the welsheme (who were pestered with these butcherly beastes above measure) to paye him yearely tribute which was (note the wisdomes of the King) three hundred Wolfes.  And that by the meanes hereof, within the compasse and tearme of foure years none of those noysome, and pestilent Beastes were left in the coastes of England and Wales.'
