Dalmatian Breed Information

The Dalmatian is known for its black and white spotted coat. They are a medium sized, symmetrical dog with good musculature and high stamina. Elegantly bodied and with similar lines and body structure to the pointer, the Dalmatian is a vision of agility and elegance. They have round feet with well-arched toes, and toenails that correlate with the colour of spots on the dog's coat. Their nose is black, brown, blue, or black in colour and their ears are soft, tapered, and carried with a slight up-
ward curve. Their intelligent eyes are dark brown, blue, or amber in colour. The breed's short-haired coat is hard, dense, and features black or liver spots. Puppies are born white.

This Breed of dog is full of stamina and energy. They prefer an active lifestyle, and they do not like to lie around all day without a task or job to perform. They are cheerful, playful, devoted, and sensitive. They thrive on human companionship and they generally do well with firm, consistent training. They are highly intelligent and obedience. Because of their need for affection, they do not make a good garden dog.

They need to spend a good amount of time with their family on a daily basis. They love children, but they are often too rambunctious to play with babies or toddlers. While this breed is sometimes aggressive with strange dogs, they usually get along well with other pets. They are strong-willed and have an excellent memory. They will become depressed, bored, and destructive if they aren't given sufficient exercise or affection.
