The Delaware
Valley Dalmatian Club (DVDC) was organized in 1974 to
bring together Dalmatian fanciers located in Eastern
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. The purpose of
the Club is to celebrate Dalmatians as a breed, to
exchange information and ideas, to provide encouragement
and support to fellow members when needed, and above all
to enjoy ourselves, each other and our spotted
companions.

CSD is a serious disease that affects many
breeds, and may be hereditary in some,
including Dalmatians. This disease typically
does not show obvious symptoms in the
earlier stages. Unfortunately, when symptoms
of this disorder do appear they are common
to many diseases which include several liver
diseases, so it may be easy to overlook CSD
as the potential cause at the onset. It is
very important to let your veterinarian know
that CSD could be one of the diagnoses
because many veterinarians will not consider
it early on for Dalmatians. Early diagnoses
and treatment are crucial to positive
outcomes. DCAF has developed the
Copper Storage Disease pamphlet
that all Dalmatian owners should become
familiar with and share with their
veterinarians. All breeders should provide
this pamphlet in their new puppy packs to
puppy buyers.
