Dalmatian: Breed specifications

Country of Origin:: Croatia
Size:: 54 - 61 cm (21.25 - 24 inches).
Coat:: Coat must be short. Ideally, spots must not overlap each other, and should have a diameter of 2 - 3 cm (.75 - 1.75 inches).
Character:: This dog is sociable, full of stamina, friendly, and affectionate.
Temperament:: This breed makes a good playmate for children, although it may be a little too rambunctious for smaller children. It can be watchful around strangers. Dalmatians get along well with other dogs or household pets.
Care:: Loose hairs should be removed daily by grooming with a rubber glove when the dog is shedding.
Training:: Should be consistent. Dalmatians respond positively to praise when they have done something well.
Activity:: Dalmatians will adapt themselves to the activity level of your family, although they are happiest when they get a chance to run free in the country. Limiting them to three walks a day will not be enough to keep them content.
