Versorging
Temperament
Outgoing, affectionate and playful, with a sensitive side. Usually friendly with people, though some are reserved with strangers.
Oefening
Needs a lot of daily exercise; running, cycling alongside (once mature), canicross and agility suit it well.
Versorging
The short coat is easy to brush, but it sheds steadily all year; a weekly rubber brush helps.
Opleiding
Intelligent and responsive to positive training; harsh methods backfire, and consistency is important.
Gesondheid
Congenital deafness is the best-known issue, so puppies should be BAER hearing tested; urinary stones linked to high uric acid and hip dysplasia also occur. Ask the breeder for results.

Oor die ras
The Dalmatian takes its name from Dalmatia on the Croatian coast, though much of its development happened in Britain. In the 18th and 19th centuries it trotted beside horse-drawn carriages, guarding horses and coaches, and later became a mascot of fire brigades.
It is a muscular, elegant dog with famous black or liver spots on a white coat. Living with one means plenty of exercise and company: Dalmatians are friendly, playful and full of stamina, and they can become restless or noisy if under-exercised or left alone too much. They shed more than many expect.

Dalmatian puppies are born white; their spots appear during the first weeks of life.
