Dog breeds: Dalmatian
Back to list of breeds
The
Dalmatian is a Yugoslavian breed that was developed as a working
and hunting dog. In the past they have been used as firehouse mascots,
retrievers, vermin hunters, draft dogs, watchdogs, hunting dogs,
and stage performers. They are most known for their mascot work
in fire houses and at fire stations. Today they are used primarily
as a family dog.
The Dalmatian is characterized by their white body with black spots.
However, when Dalmatian pups are born they are completely white.
The spots don’t develop until they are about two weeks old.
This dog breed is friendly, all be it they are a bit high strung
and excitable. This makes them a good family dog for families with
older kids. Dalmatians don’t always get along with other dogs
and they their behavior may flip between friendly and aggressive.
Because of this you need to train your Dalmatian early and provide
it with plenty of opportunities to socialize with other dogs when
it is very young. This can help to counteract their bi-polar reactions
to other dogs.
Because of poor breeding practices this breed is prone to deafness
and other genetic health problems. Make sure to do lots of research
before choosing the breeder of your puppy.
