Located in Joplin, Missouri, Dal-Mar Cockers was established in 1980 by Donna Harrington. Her First show dog was the R/W CH. Repertoire Renegade bred by Aaron Morris. Renegade was handled by Mozelle Craft to a quick Championship, and he is the cornerstone of the Dal-Mar Kennel. His first line bred litter produced Dal-Mar's Candylane Keepsake and Dal-Mar is now in it's 9th generation of this bitch line.
.

By outcrossing to CH. Signature's Solitaire, Dal-Mar introduced more elegance and style to the health and soundness that Renegade had so consistently produced. Ch. Dal-Mar's Billy Jack is an example of the Solitaire line. Billy Jack was an extremely typey dog, full of beauty and class. Not only was he a top winner, but he proved to be an outstanding producer as well. So many of today's top Parti lines come from Billy Jack, including CH Empires Brooklyn Dodger who was by a Billy Jack son and out of a Billy Jack daughter. Billy Jack's most notable daughter was CH. Dal-Mar's Sevelle who finished her specials career as the number 1 Parti bitch in 1986 with multipe BISS, Group placements, and a BIS, all breeder owner handled by Donna.


CH. Dal-Mar's Seville gave Donna one daughter, Ch. Dal-Mar's Pink Cadillac who was used for breeding. Three of her daughters, CH. Dal-Mar's Deville, Dal-Mar's Catera, and CH. Dal-Mar's Cruella Deville have carried the line forward with incredible results.


Adding new lines to any program is always difficult, and well thought out. Dal-Mar's purchase of CH. Tri-Pod's Moment of Truth as a puppy, has been a wonderful decision. Bred by Deb Podratz, "Noah" has quickly earned a reputation as a producer, and was the Number 1 producer all varieties in 2005 and Top Parti Producer in 2006. Because "Noah" goes back to CH. Empire's Brooklyn Dodger, Dal-Mar is able to linebreed on it's original breeding stock.


In Dal-Mar's over 25 years of breeding, 86 individuals now carry the title of Champion. Dal-Mar is committed to raising healthy, happy, sound show puppies, and excellence is always a forethought!
