The Dalmatian is a breed of dog whose roots are traced
to Dalmatia, a region of Croatia. It is noted for
its white coat with either black or liver spots.This
popular breed of dog is a well-muscled, mid-sized,
elegant dog with excellent endurance and stamina.
The Dalmatian coat is short, fine, and dense. Dalmatians
shed considerably, and shed year-round. Dalmatian
puppies are born white, and their spots come in gradually
over the period of a couple of weeks. The most common
colours for Dalmatians are black or liver spotted
on a white background.
The Dalmatian is incredibly loyal and active. Usually
good with other pets, notably horses, dalmatians make
an excellent addition to a family that already has
animals of any kind. Dalmatians are a rather active
breed, and strongly dislike lazing around with nothing
to do, however they will be thrilled to go for walks,
or runs, and play with an active owner.
Dalmatian Dog Traits
Dalmatian Traits
The Dalmatian originated in Dalmatia,
the area that was once Yugoslavia in the
1400s. Dalmatians were initially used
as a carriage dog, trotting alongside
the coach. Continuing this tradition with
horse-drawn fire engines, which led to
its moniker a “fire dog”.
Dalmatians have a square-proportioned
build. They are sturdy but on the thin
side. The Dalmatian is 50-55 lbs and 22-24
inches tall. Dalmatians have a bold spotted
black pattern on a white coat. There are
variations with liver colored spots. The
Spots are usually round in shape clearly
defined and do not overlap. Dalmatians
have a sleek glossy coat. Dalmatians require
very little grooming just occasional brushing
to remove the dead hair.
Dalmatians are bred for endurance and
can run for miles. Dalmatians are playful
and enthusiastic. They require a lot of
exercise and may have a tendency to roam.
Dalmatians can be aggressive with strange
dogs but tend get a long well with horses.
Dalmatians can be overly energetic for
young children.
Dalmatians have an average life span
of 12-14 years.
