Background knowledge of the breed

The Dalmatian is one of the breeds that is found to be the easiest to recognize due to its very distinctive appearance. The Dalmatian is a loyal, playful and intelligent dog, and it simply loves human company and presence. However, the breed also needs some exercise to get rid of its boundless energy it possesses. The breed is lively, independent and active. It loves to move and use his nose, but it can also be a bit reserved despite the wonderful qualities that the dog contains. The breed is known for being an intelligent dog that knows how to use it for its own gain, meaning that it can be a bit calculating. The good thing about the breed, and something that is worth highlighting, is that it clearly tells if there are uninvited guests, whom it does not know or is completely comfortable with. The breed would like to participate in all the family's activities if they are sufficiently varied and are meaningful to the dog. The breed must have daily walks and tasks with mental challenges, but if you can comply with this, then you have a really nice family dog.

The Dalmatian thrives with humans, and if left to its own for too long, it can become destructive. If the social needs of the dog are not provided by its owners, it can become angry and a little aggressive, which can actually end up in depression for the dog. This breed is for the people who want to spend time with their dog and who have the time to give it plenty of attention. The breed is suitable for living in an apartment if the family loves to walk or go for long runs, preferably several times a day. The Dalmatian is better suited to live in a place where it can run and tumble around, and burn off some of its energy. The breed is named after the province of Dalmatia on the Adriatic coast of the former Yugoslavia, but its origin is unclear and is based solely on presumptions. Gypsies may have brought it from India to the Mediterranean, where it has been known since the 14th century. In the 19th century, it was popular with drivers. It followed the carriages, paved the road and warned against highway robbers. Dalmatians have had many other tasks, from hunting dog, border guard dog, courier dog, rescue dog and rat dog at the fire stations and traction dog among other things for dog sleds. Today, the Dalmatian functions primarily as an excellent family dog. The breed grows to about 60 cm in height and weighs between 25 and 35 kg. 

The Dalmatian is a graceful medium-sized dog with a smooth, muscular body. The tail is quite long and is slightly bent upwards in an arc. The coat is short and dense with brown or black spots on a white background. The Dalmatian sheds a lot, even though the coat is short.

The activity level of the breed

The breed loves to run - also very much like long distances if it is an option. When the young dog is free, it likes to run far around, but always knows where the owner is, and therefore it does not have a tendency to run away. The Dalmatian is an extremely energetic and playful, but the breed is also a sensitive and sensitive dog. The breed is always loyal to its family and it is good for children, but some Dalmatian experts warn that dogs of this breed can be too energetic for very young children, but of course it depends quite a lot on the individual dog and its mind . The breed is intelligent, can be well-groomed and can be good as a watchdog if you want to use it for this purpose. Some Dalmatians may be reserved towards strangers and aggressive towards other dogs that it does not know. Other dogs of the breed are timid if they have not been well socialized from puppy. The breed is especially known for having a particularly good memory and is said to be able to remember poor treatment for many years, and therefore one must really consider carefully how one wants to raise the breed.

Fur care and hygiene 

The short, hard and smooth adjoining coat is dense and shiny. The coat is self-cleaning and requires no care, making the breed perfect for the family, who live an active everyday life and do not have much time. A daily brushing or wiping with a damp cloth removes many of the loose hairs that would otherwise settle on clothes, furniture and carpets, clearly visible for visitors and yourself.

Management of the breed

The Dalmatian is a teachable and independent breed. It wants to learn new things, making it quite easy to train. The training must be varied so that the dog does not lose interest quickly. The training must also not be too long-lasting and contain good positive motivation. The Dalmatian is often stubborn, so attempts at forced learning often have the opposite effect.
