Dogs: Dalmatian

The Dalmatian is mostly known as the "Firehouse Dog" and the breed gained popularity after the Disney movies 101 Dalmatians.


If you watched it and enjoyed those cute spotted puppies, then you've been introduced to the Dalmatian Breed.


It is a breed of dog whose roots are often said to trace back to Dalmatia, a region of Croatia. The Dalmatian is unmistakably noticeable due to its unique black spotted coat. This dog remains a well loved family pet and most dog enthusiasts enter their pets into the competitions of many kennel clubs. 


They live about 10-12 years.




Temperament


The Dalmatian is trainable to a high degree of obedience. They can be trained for defense and are good watchdogs. Half of the people who adopt a Dalmatian puppy do not keep them past the first year. Young Dalmatians are very energetic, and need a tremendous amount of leadership and exercise. 


They are very playful pets so watch them closely if you have kids.
