Dalmatian
Dalmatians are outgoing, loyal and friendly dogs, free from nervousness and aggression. They are mild-mannered, affectionate dogs that enjoy company and clowning about. However, their strength and stamina can sometimes be too much of a challenge for some owners. If not carefully trained as puppies, they can become hyper. Dalmatians take at least two years to settle down.

Dalmatian
The Dalmatian is an ancient breed, dating back to 2000 B.C. when spotted dogs appeared on Greek friezes and tablets. Over the years, Dalmatians have been used as soldiers, border patrollers, cart-pullers, sheepherders, hunters and circus performers. Fire departments adopted the dogs in the 1800’s and used them to clear the way for horse-drawn water wagons.
