Distinctive
"spotty dog". Friendly, elegant,
exhuberant, playful, dedicated and outgoing
popular dog.
Affectionate and devoted with owners,
child friendly if socialised early and
love to be part of the family.
If exercised regularly they may appear
quiet at home but too little exercise
can result in boredom

Originally
from Croatia, in the Dalmatia region
and often used decoratively and in
a defensive role to escort carriages
which has resulted in their enormous
stamina
Quite intelligent, but can be stubborn
and require firm, consistent training
which can result in a high degree
of obedience. They can also be trained
for defence and make good watchdogs.
Enjoys lots of exercise acheived through
long walks.
Dalmatians
do not like spending long periods
of time alone and most enjoy life
when they can be included in all family
activities preferring to sleep and
live inside with their human family.
(The
Dalmatian was once a popular circus
dog.}
