Dalmatian and Dalmatian pictures
The familiar dapper black & white spotted dog of Disney fame,
the Dalmatian is a symmetrical, muscular, medium-sized dog with
superior endurance. The Dalmatian has the lean, clean lines of the
pointer, to which it may be related. It has a short, hard, dense
coat of pure white with black or liver colored spots randomly splashed
over it. The Dalmatian is very elegant, alert, strong, active, free
of shyness and intelligent in expression. It is capable of great
endurance, combined with speed. It makes an excellent companion;
it is a friendly, outgoing dog. It will bond very closely with its
owner, more so than other breeds and will exhibit separation anxiety
when left alone. Dalmatian puppies are born all white and begin
to develop their spots by ten to fourteen days. The Dalmatian is
very active and energetic; it was bred to run under or along-side
of horse-drawn carriages. It does not like to just sit around all
day with nothing to do. It is playful, happy-go-lucky, extremely
sensitive and loyal. The Dalmatian needs human companionship, without
which it is likely to become depressed; for this reason it does
not make good yard dogs. It has an excellent memory and can remember
for years any bad treatment it has had. This breed enjoys playing
with children, but may be too rambunctious for toddlers. The Dalmatian
gets along well with other pets, but some may be aggressive with
strange dogs; males often dislike other males. It can be timid without
enough socialization. It is quite intelligent, but can be willful.
This breed needs firm, consistent obedience training. It is trainable
to a high degree of obedience. It can be trained for defense and
makes a good watchdog. The Dalmatian often has large litter, sometimes
up to 15 pups. Some can be aggressive if not properly raised.
