DALMATIAN
History - Brought to England during the Crusades from the Arabic coastal area of Dalmatia, the dalmatian is thought to have a hunting pointer in its background, but British sportsmen discovered it was better at guarding its owner�s horses, carriages, and coach inhabitants than hunting. It is best known for its work as a firehouse dog.
Temperament - Dalmations are loving with their families, but because they can be very stubborn, they must be socialized and begin obedience classes early. Most dalmatians are aloof and wary of and/or territorial with strangers. They get along with other dogs and most other small animals, though birds and squirrels may look like dinner to them, so they must be walked on a leash.
Upkeep - Dalmations shed constantly and so should be brushed daily. They need vigorous exercise and extensive training to avoid serious behavior problems.
Size - height 19-24 inches, weight 45-65 pounds.
