Welcome to the homepage of Deluxe Dalmatians & Hounds. We hope
you enjoy your visit and find helpful information about our chosen breeds:
Dalmatians, Beagles and American Foxhounds.
We became involved in the sport of purebred dogs and specifically dog shows in 1992.
Ron and Julie with Lindsay Ann and her grandson, Lightning, in May 2007 at the Canine Cotillion ~ a benefit for
St. Hubert's shelter in New Jersey.
We breed very occasionally and have puppies on a limited
basis to approved homes. Also, we sometimes have a retired show champion looking for a new family to
love and be spoiled by.

Deluxe Dynamite First Lady "Courtney Marie"
1993 - 2009 Courtney Marie was, in every sense of the word, the first lady of Deluxe. Our first
female and -- while she never let her dad, Gucci, know it -- the true top dog of the family.
Courtney passed away peacefully in her sleep on the afternoon of September 22, 2009, just a
week short of five months after her brother, Ike, passed over the Rainbow Bridge. I always
said that Courtney never did anything she didn't want to do, including showing, which she
hated, and that held true to the end. First, last and always, Courtney Marie did it her way.
She, like Ike, is loved and missed beyond measure. We are comforted in knowing that they are
with their dad, Gucci, along with our first Dalmatian "Uncle" Archie Goodwin, Quincy B. Foxhound
and Roam and Beau, our first black Labs. They are all young and strong again. Courtney Marie
Lux was one of a kind and it is truly the end of an era at Deluxe.
