Introduction

Renowned for their unique spotted coat and starring role in a classic film, Dalmatians are energetic, intelligent, and affectionate dogs. They are of medium to large size with a sleek, athletic build, perfectly suited to their high activity level. Historically used as carriage dogs, their stamina and alert presence make them excellent companions for runners and active families. Dalmatians tend to form strong bonds with their owners and are eager to please, making them as loyal as they are distinctive.
