Meet our Top Dog
and the rest of the team

Donna L Whincup
Pack Leader

Founder and director of Springvale Canine Creche. I have lived with dogs all my life from working dogs on my parent’s farm with Airdales, Pyrenean Mountain Dogs and my own pet Jack Russell Terrier.

On leaving home, marrying my husband Kevin and owning our first home, I finally got the dog I had always wanted – a Dalmatian called Poppy. I have owned and bred Dalmatians for twenty years and enjoy showing and breeding my Dalmatians under the Affix Tamilanda.

In addition, I am a qualified ‘A’ list judge for Dalmatians i.e award Kennel Club Challenge Certificates. I am also on several other Breed Club judging B & C lists.
