I was going to get a Dalmatian but then I honestly thought of my lifestyle, we wouldn’t be compatible so I did more research. I found a couple of breeds that matched my needs perfectly , one of them is a Saint Beranrd. He fits my lifestyle great, I can take him for a walk around the neighborhood for about 30 minuets and he does great, I can also stay inside and he doesn’t mind that either. So please people think about if the dog fits into your lifestyle NOW, please don’t say I’m getting him to be more active because if you’re not active now a dog isn’t going to change that they are just going to annoy you. Before you get a very active breed make sure you are dedicated to exercising even without them there.
People also don't realize when there dog "acts up" in the house, it probably means that there dog is bored and has a lot of energy. Usually this happens to familys or owners who do not take there dog out or give them proper exercise. For some dogs taking a walk is all they need, but for some dogs, they actually have to run.
ShilohWolves 23 I totally agree I have wanted a German Shepherd for so long I had everything perfect except I live in a apartment and with 4 other people. So u do really have to think about the dog
I have a Dalmatian, and I absolutely LOVE the breed! They do have a ton of energy... And a big problem is they love to chase cars. My Dalmatian would chase after any car, until I trained him not to.
I have the third Dobermann in an apartment... just exercise and give them attention. Saint bernard have a lot of long fur, that would be worse for me. Exercise is good for u too
I saw 2 recovery dals and I was very impressed by the breed. Far more testy than I imagined from my only prior experience with them (101 Dalmatian movie)
MARY They wont be. They were popular after 101 Dalmatians but not nearly enough as GSDs etc. Ive worked w dogs for YEARS and I met my first 2 Dalmatians yesterday.
It is very important to understand that these dogs were originally used for coach dogs and served I very particular role that has been left out in there history intentionally. A coach dog did not simply run under or near or in front of a moving coach becouse it liked running or had an affinity for horses. These dogs were trained to clear the path for coach drawn people in cities as well as guard the horses pulling the coach. This was the Dalmatians JOB. the Dalmatians did this to great effect. When you saw the white spotted dog you cleared a path or else you got bit by the dog. The dogs job was to keep you from getting ran over. So it was get out of the way or get ran over you see. The Dalmatian protected the horses from being baited by other dogs as the horse drawn carriage be it private or government was traveling to its destination. This was the Dalmatians purpose.
Amazing Swami No problem, it's a crucial part of the Dalmatians real history that many people leave out on purpose or are just unaware of becouse of people leaving it out. This is how history and knoledge are lost you know?
Yes, they were trained to use there mouths as a form of regular communication in there work. Obviously you have true experience with the original form and temperament of the breed. I'm sure most lines sharp and keen demeanors have been breed down more and more as the years have past but said carictoristics can still come out in any dog. Personally I prefer a dog that is quicker to give a warning bite in a situation as aposed to dealing with the scenario tell they lash out or panic as many dogs do. I currently have working dogs that are part Dalmatian and they are very mouthy and territorial animals by nature. Not trained, it is part of them as you mentioned. It is rare to find people that are like minded in that some dog breeds are designed to be very assertive and effective in there work.
My husband and I had a rescue Dalmatian/Boxer female, poor girl had a rough street life and passed around from owner to owner, more anxiety and aggression towards dogs with each change until we took her in. She became attached to our mastiff mix after 6 months of gradual introduction and never turned back. Overcame her fear of doorways and stairs, and her dysplasia reversed after getting her in good shape and active. Sadly she passed this year at 13 years old, but died at home with her family at her bedside. The dalmatian in her was sassy and smart, absolutely an amazing dog. So resilient.
We just adopted 2 dalmatians who were surrendered to the Dogs Trust. Quickly realised they need a lot of exercise, but they are adorable. Brother and sister, 10 years old. It's getting my 2 teens out of the house, on walks, talking and they are so friendly and loving and interested in what is going on too. We can't believe how anybody could have them for 10 years and then give them up! But we're thankful every day that we can give them their forever home.
Pros of Dalmatians (from a Dalmatian owner): - beautiful - extremely affectionate and devoted to owners and family - playful and athletic (great running partner) - funny habits like sneezing when excited, smiling, being “talkative”, and big squeaky yawns - groom themselves and don’t have a doggy odor - good watchdogs and naturally distinguish friend from stranger Cons: - constantly shedding little white hairs that get stuck in clothing and everything else so you will always need a lint roller - some are deaf or have temperament issues so selecting the right dog is critical - need a lot of exercise - prone to separation anxiety - prone to certain health issues (bladder stones, epilepsy) - trainable but will only listen to you if they want to
I adopted a Dalmatian a year ago, she’s 3, she was a rescue and she’s probably not pure breed, but it doesn’t matter, to me she’s the most loving and amazing dog I’ve ever had, she is playful when we go out but still a couch potato to watch movies with me afterwards, tho getting a Dalmatian does make you become a very active person if you weren’t already, I take her out at least for two walks of around an hour to hour and a half a day, and she can stand being active for a long long period of time and she’s honestly made me a better person.
I have had 2 dals and they are the softest dog in the world but they shed 24/7, 365 days a year or twice a year for 6 months at a time. If you don’t mind vacuuming every day then you will love them. Notice how attentive they are. That is because they are the most food-motivated dog there is; so they are easy to train if you use treats.
Victoria Bryer / I have a Dalmatian (2 years old) now, and it’s a wonderful dog. I love him so much. You would love one. Super awesome dog. He loves water like it’s going out of style.
We got a 5 year old dalmatian from a shelter. He's originally from spain and was surrendered there because the owner lost interest in him. He was kept in the garden for 4 years without much exercise. He was very insecure and didn't have a lot of experience (he copied most of our 11 year old sheperd mix behavior) Dalmatians are such a sweet and human orientated breed. They love to cuddle and love getting affection so much. I definitely fell in love with the breed
Dalmatians are 100% a CROATIAN breed, no question about it. Breed created by a monk in the south Croatian region of Dalmatia. Breed standard in the FCI.
I had a dalmatian for about 14 years. He was a perfect friend and was a great guard dog as well, he would only use his serious bark and stance at strangers. He was the sweetest angel and even let kids pet him when we took him to events. He was super smart too, learned quickly and agile, he loved to play. I'll never forget him, he took a piece of my heart when he left.
My Dalmatian must be broken because she is a couch potato and never was great at running even as a puppy. I love the breed because they are extremely goofy and playful except mine of course.
I had a Dalmatian, wonderful dog. Smart, affectionate, calm, more of a couch potato than I anticipated. Blue was a fun loving and loyal friend. I miss him terribly.
True , the exercise requirement is over-exaggerated but in general getting a puppy is a like a lucky draw you could get a very active one or a couch potato haha mine is now a year old and learned to settle when he was 8 months old which was a milestone I hit and eventually got me out of the puppy blues lol
As a Dalmatian lover this video makes me super happy! I fell in love with the breed as a child with the aide of seeing the 101 Dalmatians movie. I received my first Dalmatian when I was about 6 and she was my best friend. I loved her every moment until she passed away and I still absolutely love the breed. I hope to own one again someday. 💗
I love that these videos capture how passionate breeders are of their breed. And that it educates the importance of breeding healthy good temperment show quality dogs! Im so tired of people grouping good breeders with the bad ones and thinking they only want money! Breeding and showing js a hobby and something that does take alot of time and effort out of someone!
I'm so excited to get my Dalmatian puppy in 3 days!!!! My fiance is a firefighter and our boy, Axe, is going to have a wonderful life at the fire department!:)
Best dog I have ever owned! The one I have now, pictured when he was a pup, is 8 years old and going strong. He is my third and will be very hard to replace, when the time comes. This is one of the best videos I have watched. She is, pardon the pun, spot on!
Quite possibly the most accurate video I've ever seen about our beautiful breed. They are incredible dogs, but high maintenance in the sense that if you don't give them enough exercise/mental stimulation then they let you know about it - they won't be satisfied with a quick on-lead walk around the block! They're also velcro dogs - so if you don't want a dog that wants to be around you a lot, then they're not for you. If you don't work from home then you should definitely look into daycare for when you're at work too as they don't enjoy being left for long periods. They are also vocal, so if your neighbours will complain then they're not the breed for you. Part of their role as carriage dogs was to guard the horses in the stables, so they do tend to get territorial and bark to "warn" you if someone is near the house. I'm yet to meet an aggressive one, but without proper socialisation (as with all dogs) you will find them very challenging. For those who are active & love to have a best friend in their dog, then they're a wonderful breed. Take extra care with feeding as purines cause severely painful stones to form & I strongly recommend you get pet insurance as taking care of a stone-forming Dalmatian can be extremely expensive!
Getting one in November! As a dog trainer, I'm excited to have a work companion as well as just a buddy to go places with instead of solo. next summer, Beach trips GALORE
Trivia: Stipe Miočić, the former UFC HW champion ancestry roots are from Croatia, notably from the city of Zadar, Dalmatia region. And he is a firefighter. And ofc, he owns two Dalmatians Cheers from Dalmatia :)
The legend goes Kleopatra gave a couple of them as a present to Ceasar, who brought them back with him to the then Roman province of Dalmatia, today (and for a very long time) a coastal part of Republic of Croatia.
Many years ago we showed, bred, raised and loved Dalmatians. Recently we rescued a 7 month old dal. She is our princess. She is extra but the challenges she presents keeps us on our toes. Lucy has been a joy we did not know we needed. Dalmatians are not for everyone. They are anlot of work. This lady really knows Dalmatians. ❤

I first got a Dalmatian in January 1990. Indigo was born December 4, 1989. I got her at 8 weeks old. She had no spots on her! I actually got to witness her well marked spots coming in! Indigo was beautiful! I named her Indigo because of her Blue/Indigo eyes that looked like glass when the Sun hit them! Indigo was also deaf. I had to do Sign Language with her! I lost my precious PUP in August 2001! I miss that little bad girl so much! LOL 😂!
I sure miss my guy..! Handsome and crazy smart. He behaved such that he was an extension of myself. I can bare witness in validation of all the characteristics a notable points you mentioned.
Dalmatians are misunderstood because they have a very rambunctious puppy stage that lasts 2-2.5 years, and many people give up on them before they get past this. They mellow out a lot once they mature.
And they have cat paws! I have both my dalmatians ashes..and all my last dogs past ..they were such fun ..and came into my life when I really needed them..big part of my life..couldn't wait to go home..and find your dog sleeping on the kitchen table!
Love watching your films. Dalmatians are a breed low on my list - but I enjoy hearing about any breed of dog. They seem very similar to the Pointer which is one of my favorite breeds.
So I have had Ridgebacks my whole life, so when my old girl passed away I decided to get a delmation. An I found that the similarities between my Ridgies and Spots was ridiculous. Which makes me wonder why they are not categorized in the hound category? Besides that the only real down fall I had with mine was his sensitivity to the Sun, which my Ridgies never had a problem with.
My dalmatian is going to be 8 years old in a few months. Most dalmatians have high uric acid levels that can cause kidney stones. It is important to have regular testing to make sure they aren't developing any urinary problems. Skin allergies is also very common.
Dolly is my third Dalmatian. Domino was my first a black and white spotted sadly lost her at 9 years old. Then I had Amber a liver and white spotted female. Sadly lost her last year to a brain liason at 14 years old. I now have Dolly a liver spotted female who is just 5 months old and full of life. She loves a run round the park. Everything is done at a run she is so full of energy and very fun loving. Can be a bit full on after having the elder Dalmatian she is always ready for a walk. Wonderful with kids so very good natured.
Can you do the greyhound please? I’m thinking about getting one when I’m on my own but there’s not a whole lot of information on them show and pet wise
Coursing greys would be super cool! Give the good racetrack owners a chance to defend themselves! They are being needlessly all lumped into one group as if they are heartless people. NOT TRUE!
if you're interested in a grey, I'd say look into the negative sides of racing them on the track. It's incredibly saddening, but there are tons of retired racers rescues all over the country filled with dogs who couldn't race anymore or were rescued from being subjected to that. They're so young, 1 to 4 years old when they end up there, so I suggest checking out a rescue! Great dogs, super lazy believe it or not, always called the 90mph couch potato haha good luck with your search if you decide on one!
One of my favorite things about bringing sparky pants to the dog park, is watching him run after and keep up with greyhounds. I would imagine that the advice being given would be very similar.
I'm here because I missed my dalmatians & wanting to know if the smile is either bred out of existence or a rare habit. Still can't find answers from this vid yet, but a great coverage. I kind of wish the Dalmatian boom returns, the dog is 6 figures in my country at the moment & there is NO WAY I could afford it.
Daisy is a liver spotted Dal and came into my life in May 2023 as a beautiful, sily eared free to good home dog. I mean, who cares about the shedding? So you have to vacuum the floor and brush your black clothes? Such a small issue compared to the absolute joy this 4.5 year old sweetheart has given me. We didn't like cats at first but it was no trouble to train them all to get along. Now one of them sleeps curled up with Daisy. And run? She's amazing. Luckily I have my horses agisted at a golf driving range so after the golfers have gone she gets to run free. Yes, we still have to learn not to eat horse poo and to come back to me when called (it's soon snake season so the red belly blacks will be out and I do not want Daisy to meet one). So yesterday I bought a whistle and she responds instantly to that so the real training begins tomorrow. Enough, I could write about her forever ❤.
We have had 2 Dalmatians and recently had to put our boy down due to liver failure and Gastrointeritis and was not able to pass food from his stomach to the intestines. We also discovered he had kidney stones. Our last week with him involved daily IV fluids and Morphine injections but his body just wouldn't give him a break. It broke our hearts to have to let him go but he was miserable and is better off now. We will always carry him in our hearts and will be reminded daily with little bits of his hair in just about every thing we own. When we are ready we will most likely get another from a rescue and spoil them as well. Our home and bed is just not the same without our fur babies.
reece flynt I lost one of mine in December last year, sorry to hear you lost yours. They are great dogs and it’s good he’s not suffering anymore, our current one is 8 years and seems to be doing fine with the other being gone.
I have had 2, just lost my second one this week. They are very loving and affectionate dogs. Yes they are very active but they also are a dog that will want to be next to you constantly, I am sure this is based on how they are raised and trained. This last one I house broke in a few days, very smart. The second one was not registered and I could care less, he had a big patch on his head. I don't care about all this show stuff, just a wonderful pet. As far as health issues, keep plenty of water in front of it at all times.
Absolutely. Most affectionate dog you'll find. Loves kids especially. However there exuberance can scare kids also. Extremely intelligent,& stubborn at times. Not a dog for a passive owner, trust me.
I adopted a puppy from a shelter a couple months ago. They didn't know her breed but I am for certain she has a lot of dalmatian in her, and possibly lab.
Dalmatians can be superb companions, family dogs, and guardians. IMO they are undervalued as a working dogs. My family has owned D’s for 40 years; in a home setting with good sized front/back yard they were intimidating and fearless as home protectors, very alert for strangers coming on or straying near our home, but gentle/playful with family members and trusted folks. Our current Dalmatian is companion to my parents/livestock guard dog on a 40 acre small cattle ranch. He is superb; very intelligent, alert for dangers, well behaved around familiar people. Right now he is helping to “train” 2 additional livestock guardians. During/after calving season he is alert of expecting cattle and helps fend off the attention of predators and nuisance animals like coyotes, hogs, and vultures.
Dalmatian dog was bred for hunting. In Dalmatian region they were bred mostly for hunting birds and foxes. My family had bred them for over 200 years only for hunting. The most similar dog breed to them is german short-haired pointer. The dalmatian got its name from the people that bred them and not from the region(dalmatians were bred all over croatia and herzegovina). The natives of dalamtian region are friendly, stubborn and elegant, same as the dogs which they've bred. They are overprotective of theirs family. When u are training them do not hit them or yell at them because they learn from theirs master and can become destructive and very aggressive. Parce mihi, Domine, quia Dalmata sum(forgive me, lord, because I am a Dalmatian. St. Jerome)
i got my dalmatian pup end of december when she was only a month old and shes always been so so active. one thing that kind of turned her heads was the fact the just loves fruits and vegetables, even more than meat at times. but yes you have to be very careful as they aree highly intelligent and mischievous. she used to eat up just about anything. its actually quite hard to train her as i've found because she somehow prefers to not listen after a certain point of time, and get distracted easily. but she is the sweetest pup ever. i hadnt planned on getting a dalmatian, i had visited the shop one night hoping to get informations directly from the shopkeeper and maybe meet a pup (as this is my first pet), but when we (my mother and i) met her, we couldnt go home without her. i love her to bits
My grandma had a Dalmation. Sadly she couldn't care for him correctly. She was fairly old when she got him and couldn't keep up with his physical needs. He became anxious and began licking his paws excessively and always had a horrible sore on one of his paw. This is a demanding dog, not for everyone.
I love this breeder already. She does an amazing job talking about the Dalmatian effect and how awful it really is to dog breeds. This happened not to long ago with the Tibetan mastiff, people start buying them because they looks like fluffy lions when in reality these dogs are live stock Guarding dogs and do not do well in apartments or are really bred for kids. So many of these dogs were killed in shelters and were given up. Please do your research people.
Question. Where does English bulodg come from? Where does the German Shepherd come from? Where does the Great Dane come from? Where does the Irish Setter come from? Where does the French Bulldog come from? And finally, tell me - where does a Dalmatian come from? Thanks and greetings from Istria!! 👋👋 P.s. I have a Dalmatian girl, Nola, a year and a half old. She is very lively, on the move all day, the most beautiful dog by far. And I adore her. 😊
I am absolutely in LOVE with the dalmatian breed. I am allowed to get one, and I do have the space and energy to take care of one. But I have no idea what to feed it, any recommendations?
Just discovered your channel today, and I've been watching video after video, great stuff! I would really love to see videos on the great dane or the sharpei 😊

Pros of Dalmatians (from a Dalmatian owner):
- beautiful
- extremely affectionate and devoted to owners and family
- playful and athletic (great running partner)
- funny habits like sneezing when excited, smiling, being “talkative”, and big squeaky yawns
- groom themselves and don’t have a doggy odor
- good watchdogs and naturally distinguish friend from stranger
Cons:
- constantly shedding little white hairs that get stuck in clothing and everything else so you will always need a lint roller
- some are deaf or have temperament issues so selecting the right dog is critical
- need a lot of exercise
- prone to separation anxiety
- prone to certain health issues (bladder stones, epilepsy)
- trainable but will only listen to you if they want to
Would a day be good for a family with 3 kids and a 10 acre hobby farm?
I adopted a Dalmatian a year ago, she’s 3, she was a rescue and she’s probably not pure breed, but it doesn’t matter, to me she’s the most loving and amazing dog I’ve ever had, she is playful when we go out but still a couch potato to watch movies with me afterwards, tho getting a Dalmatian does make you become a very active person if you weren’t already, I take her out at least for two walks of around an hour to hour and a half a day, and she can stand being active for a long long period of time and she’s honestly made me a better person.
I got a weimaraner!! And imagine what?? I ve lost ten kilos since then. Jejeje great company!!
Rescue dogs itself are Great!! No Matter what breed they are. Hope ur lucky to have one :) Enjoy..!!!

Correct they are incredible dogs.🏆
This channel just keeps getting better thanks zeke👍👍
This channel is by far the best for dog enthusiasts. Very professional and informative. Keep up the good work!!
I love the defeated “they shed” as someone who has a Dalmatian my god do I feel that XD
I had a Dalmatian, wonderful dog. Smart, affectionate, calm, more of a couch potato than I anticipated. Blue was a fun loving and loyal friend. I miss him terribly.
True , the exercise requirement is over-exaggerated but in general getting a puppy is a like a lucky draw you could get a very active one or a couch potato haha mine is now a year old and learned to settle when he was 8 months old which was a milestone I hit and eventually got me out of the puppy blues lol
Can you do a series on how to care for certain breeds?
As a Dalmatian lover this video makes me super happy!
I fell in love with the breed as a child with the aide of seeing the 101 Dalmatians movie. I received my first Dalmatian when I was about 6 and she was my best friend. I loved her every moment until she passed away and I still absolutely love the breed. I hope to own one again someday. 💗
I love that these videos capture how passionate breeders are of their breed. And that it educates the importance of breeding healthy good temperment show quality dogs! Im so tired of people grouping good breeders with the bad ones and thinking they only want money! Breeding and showing js a hobby and something that does take alot of time and effort out of someone!
Greatest breed there is. I have two and they are my life. So proud of them.
I love rachel she is my 1 yr old dalmatian .having her was one of the best thing in my lyf .im so blessed .
Dalmatians came from Croatia 🇭🇷 this what I hear. I had one when I was a kid Beautiful dogs.
Best dog I've ever had... she is a blessing everyday...
Beautiful dogs. I like the white with brown spots. Unique
I'm so excited to get my Dalmatian puppy in 3 days!!!! My fiance is a firefighter and our boy, Axe, is going to have a wonderful life at the fire department!:)
Update how has it been
Very protective..he would bark out the window to get the other dogs off his couch..and the fur is so soft but I never could wear black. I miss them...
Best dog I have ever owned! The one I have now, pictured when he was a pup, is 8 years old and going strong. He is my third and will be very hard to replace, when the time comes. This is one of the best videos I have watched. She is, pardon the pun, spot on!
How bad is shedding?
Quite possibly the most accurate video I've ever seen about our beautiful breed. They are incredible dogs, but high maintenance in the sense that if you don't give them enough exercise/mental stimulation then they let you know about it - they won't be satisfied with a quick on-lead walk around the block! They're also velcro dogs - so if you don't want a dog that wants to be around you a lot, then they're not for you. If you don't work from home then you should definitely look into daycare for when you're at work too as they don't enjoy being left for long periods. They are also vocal, so if your neighbours will complain then they're not the breed for you. Part of their role as carriage dogs was to guard the horses in the stables, so they do tend to get territorial and bark to "warn" you if someone is near the house. I'm yet to meet an aggressive one, but without proper socialisation (as with all dogs) you will find them very challenging. For those who are active & love to have a best friend in their dog, then they're a wonderful breed. Take extra care with feeding as purines cause severely painful stones to form & I strongly recommend you get pet insurance as taking care of a stone-forming Dalmatian can be extremely expensive!
Dalmatians has always been a dream dog, I love big dogs in general so when it’s time I’m definitely getting a Dalmatian & Husky
Very good and professional look documentary which cover all aspects
Well done !
Getting one in November! As a dog trainer, I'm excited to have a work companion as well as just a buddy to go places with instead of solo. next summer, Beach trips GALORE
I have a Dalmatian and he is the goofiest dog I’ve ever seen, he makes me so happy and makes me laugh, without him I’d probably be depressed lol
Trivia:
Stipe Miočić, the former UFC HW champion ancestry roots are from Croatia, notably from the city of Zadar, Dalmatia region. And he is a firefighter.
And ofc, he owns two Dalmatians
Cheers from Dalmatia :)
Stipe the champ!
The HW champ***
The legend goes Kleopatra gave a couple of them as a present to Ceasar, who brought them back with him to the then Roman province of Dalmatia, today (and for a very long time) a coastal part of Republic of Croatia.
Oh aren't they beautiful! Wonderful images! ..I love that she breeds for health.
I have a dalmatian and hes super precious!
Hey, the 101 Dalmatians film is finally out. Looking good. XD
*thumbs up video*
This woman is so knowledgeable amd passionate! I adored this video. What great selection for an expert to interview!🥰
Dalmatians are amazing!! I can’t imagine my life without my little Romeo, this breed is one of a kind
Many years ago we showed, bred, raised and loved Dalmatians. Recently we rescued a 7 month old dal. She is our princess. She is extra but the challenges she presents keeps us on our toes. Lucy has been a joy we did not know we needed. Dalmatians are not for everyone. They are anlot of work. This lady really knows Dalmatians. ❤
I was waiting for a video about a dalmatian because I'm going to get one in late June. Thankful for the tips of this lady!! ❤
Ledri Lazi you’re going to regret you bought it
Why ? You had bad experiences?
adnan sayyed hell no. You're either a bad owner or don't know shit.
Sandiven 190399 i have 2 dobermans and 3 malinois .. all are schutzund ipo 3 ... i think I’m a pretty good and experienced owner ... my dogs get a proper raw feed 80%meat 10%organ 10%bone diet and have never had any complaints from the vet for the past 6 years .... I definitely know what I’m talking about

I definitely know what I’m talking about... i got a dalmation from the best lines from Germany.... had 3 of them ... inspite of proper exercise training and socialising, i found them destroying stuff behaving aggressively and just not obediently listening type of breed... now they can be called dumb or arrogant or rebellious or way too stubborn... mind you i never hit my dogs except a firm pat for something really bad they’ve done ... i ended up returning them back to the breeder.. who said that these are the true traits of the breed... i asked alot of other breeders too and they agreed as well ... these breeders have there entire family from generations into this breed and they know what they’re saying... the particular breeder i bought from is the 4th generation after his father etc
I first got a Dalmatian in January 1990. Indigo was born December 4, 1989. I got her at 8 weeks old. She had no spots on her! I actually got to witness her well marked spots coming in! Indigo was beautiful! I named her Indigo because of her Blue/Indigo eyes that looked like glass when the Sun hit them! Indigo was also deaf. I had to do Sign Language with her!
I lost my precious PUP in August 2001! I miss that little bad girl so much! LOL 😂!
I’m on my second Dal. My 1st one lived to the ripe age of 19years old! Amazing dogs - but as already mentioned please do your research on the breed!
Love it! Such amazing footage, thanks for all the effort you put into your videos :)
Great video! So informative :) Wish there was an all about living w/ dalmations as well!
What a great spokes woman for this breed she touched on everything great video
I sure miss my guy..! Handsome and crazy smart. He behaved such that he was an extension of myself. I can bare witness in validation of all the characteristics a notable points you mentioned.
Love the way u make them cover all the subjects regrading the breed .
I love my Dalmation puppy! He is a bundle of joy and energy.
Fireman also took advantage of the fact that Dalmatians can sometimes be deaf, so the fire engine noises didn’t affect them.
Dalmatians are misunderstood because they have a very rambunctious puppy stage that lasts 2-2.5 years, and many people give up on them before they get past this. They mellow out a lot once they mature.
What a lovly lady I could listen to her all day talking about Dalmatians 🙏💙
Bless your soul, I can die happy. My favorite breed.
And they have cat paws! I have both my dalmatians ashes..and all my last dogs past ..they were such fun ..and came into my life when I really needed them..big part of my life..couldn't wait to go home..and find your dog sleeping on the kitchen table!
My Dalmatian is almost a year old and he is the sweetest boy ever❤️ I have two young daughters and they love him with passion!
Love watching your films. Dalmatians are a breed low on my list - but I enjoy hearing about any breed of dog. They seem very similar to the Pointer which is one of my favorite breeds.
So I have had Ridgebacks my whole life, so when my old girl passed away I decided to get a delmation. An I found that the similarities between my Ridgies and Spots was ridiculous. Which makes me wonder why they are not categorized in the hound category? Besides that the only real down fall I had with mine was his sensitivity to the Sun, which my Ridgies never had a problem with.
My first dalmatian puppy is coming home in 4 weeks😍😍😍😍😍😍
lotzku kaunisto you will love them! Such an amazing breed
katie arce i know😍. Since i was 3 i have wanted a dalmatian! I have waited 17 years and finally i can hold my own dalmatian in my arms❤️
best of luck! ♥️🐶
😛😛😛 I already have 8month old Dalmatian.
She is awesome.
My dalmatian is going to be 8 years old in a few months. Most dalmatians have high uric acid levels that can cause kidney stones. It is important to have regular testing to make sure they aren't developing any urinary problems. Skin allergies is also very common.
Dolly is my third Dalmatian. Domino was my first a black and white spotted sadly lost her at 9 years old. Then I had Amber a liver and white spotted female. Sadly lost her last year to a brain liason at 14 years old. I now have Dolly a liver spotted female who is just 5 months old and full of life. She loves a run round the park. Everything is done at a run she is so full of energy and very fun loving. Can be a bit full on after having the elder Dalmatian she is always ready for a walk. Wonderful with kids so very good natured.
My grandparents bred these weirdos. Loved ‘m. My grandparents had some acres of land where they could run. They were funny and their laugh was fun.
Can you do the greyhound please? I’m thinking about getting one when I’m on my own but there’s not a whole lot of information on them show and pet wise
Coursing greys would be super cool! Give the good racetrack owners a chance to defend themselves! They are being needlessly all lumped into one group as if they are heartless people. NOT TRUE!
if you're interested in a grey, I'd say look into the negative sides of racing them on the track. It's incredibly saddening, but there are tons of retired racers rescues all over the country filled with dogs who couldn't race anymore or were rescued from being subjected to that. They're so young, 1 to 4 years old when they end up there, so I suggest checking out a rescue! Great dogs, super lazy believe it or not, always called the 90mph couch potato haha good luck with your search if you decide on one!
One of my favorite things about bringing sparky pants to the dog park, is watching him run after and keep up with greyhounds. I would imagine that the advice being given would be very similar.
It has such a wonderful gait!
who else fell in love with the boarder terrier running with them?
I love my Dalmatian
I live in Dalmatia in Croatia
Grew up with a Dalmatian till I was 12. RIP Rymple. You were a good boy.
absolutely awesome video and loved watching
Awesome video! I also see a border terrier running around with them! That would be an awesome breed to educate people on! Hope you do it one day 💚
They are extremely energetic!!!
I'm here because I missed my dalmatians & wanting to know if the smile is either bred out of existence or a rare habit. Still can't find answers from this vid yet, but a great coverage. I kind of wish the Dalmatian boom returns, the dog is 6 figures in my country at the moment & there is NO WAY I could afford it.
This is the most perfect breed for me whilst also being visually appealing. Can’t wait to own one and compete/participate in events ❤️
I wish I could have your living you got the dream job
Beautiful and lovely dogs :)
Daisy is a liver spotted Dal and came into my life in May 2023 as a beautiful, sily eared free to good home dog. I mean, who cares about the shedding? So you have to vacuum the floor and brush your black clothes? Such a small issue compared to the absolute joy this 4.5 year old sweetheart has given me. We didn't like cats at first but it was no trouble to train them all to get along. Now one of them sleeps curled up with Daisy. And run? She's amazing. Luckily I have my horses agisted at a golf driving range so after the golfers have gone she gets to run free. Yes, we still have to learn not to eat horse poo and to come back to me when called (it's soon snake season so the red belly blacks will be out and I do not want Daisy to meet one). So yesterday I bought a whistle and she responds instantly to that so the real training begins tomorrow.
Enough, I could write about her forever ❤.
I have a Dalmatian/Springer spaniel/border collie cross who i adopted from 5 months old & she is a very hyper dog!
We have had 2 Dalmatians and recently had to put our boy down due to liver failure and Gastrointeritis and was not able to pass food from his stomach to the intestines. We also discovered he had kidney stones. Our last week with him involved daily IV fluids and Morphine injections but his body just wouldn't give him a break. It broke our hearts to have to let him go but he was miserable and is better off now. We will always carry him in our hearts and will be reminded daily with little bits of his hair in just about every thing we own. When we are ready we will most likely get another from a rescue and spoil them as well.
Our home and bed is just not the same without our fur babies.
reece flynt I lost one of mine in December last year, sorry to hear you lost yours. They are great dogs and it’s good he’s not suffering anymore, our current one is 8 years and seems to be doing fine with the other being gone.
Sorry for your loss! My heart goes out to you.
I have had 2, just lost my second one this week. They are very loving and affectionate dogs. Yes they are very active but they also are a dog that will want to be next to you constantly, I am sure this is based on how they are raised and trained. This last one I house broke in a few days, very smart. The second one was not registered and I could care less, he had a big patch on his head. I don't care about all this show stuff, just a wonderful pet. As far as health issues, keep plenty of water in front of it at all times.
Absolutely. Most affectionate dog you'll find. Loves kids especially. However there exuberance can scare kids also. Extremely intelligent,& stubborn at times. Not a dog for a passive owner, trust me.
I'm so sorry for your loss!
I have a dalmatian lab mix and he's a lot of work. But I love him so much
Ειναι πολυ καλοι χαρακτηρες κι αξιαγαπητα. γλυκα και ομορφα σκυλια κι υπακουα επισης.
I adopted a puppy from a shelter a couple months ago. They didn't know her breed but I am for certain she has a lot of dalmatian in her, and possibly lab.
What a wholesome video! favourite dog 💕
Nice dog love how the white fades to spots
Dalmatians can be superb companions, family dogs, and guardians. IMO they are undervalued as a working dogs. My family has owned D’s for 40 years; in a home setting with good sized front/back yard they were intimidating and fearless as home protectors, very alert for strangers coming on or straying near our home, but gentle/playful with family members and trusted folks. Our current Dalmatian is companion to my parents/livestock guard dog on a 40 acre small cattle ranch. He is superb; very intelligent, alert for dangers, well behaved around familiar people. Right now he is helping to “train” 2 additional livestock guardians. During/after calving season he is alert of expecting cattle and helps fend off the attention of predators and nuisance animals like coyotes, hogs, and vultures.

Dalmatian dog was bred for hunting. In Dalmatian region they were bred mostly for hunting birds and foxes. My family had bred them for over 200 years only for hunting. The most similar dog breed to them is german short-haired pointer.
The dalmatian got its name from the people that bred them and not from the region(dalmatians were bred all over croatia and herzegovina). The natives of dalamtian region are friendly, stubborn and elegant, same as the dogs which they've bred. They are overprotective of theirs family. When u are training them do not hit them or yell at them because they learn from theirs master and can become destructive and very aggressive.
Parce mihi, Domine, quia Dalmata sum(forgive me, lord, because I am a Dalmatian. St. Jerome)
Lovely lady, thanks for the info
I’ve only ever seen one in real life, I always thought they were kind of mean. Great video, I can appreciate them more now!
i got my dalmatian pup end of december when she was only a month old and shes always been so so active. one thing that kind of turned her heads was the fact the just loves fruits and vegetables, even more than meat at times. but yes you have to be very careful as they aree highly intelligent and mischievous. she used to eat up just about anything. its actually quite hard to train her as i've found because she somehow prefers to not listen after a certain point of time, and get distracted easily. but she is the sweetest pup ever. i hadnt planned on getting a dalmatian, i had visited the shop one night hoping to get informations directly from the shopkeeper and maybe meet a pup (as this is my first pet), but when we (my mother and i) met her, we couldnt go home without her. i love her to bits
To put it bluntly if you can train a horse so you can train a Dal and vise versa , and both go together very well .
My grandma had a Dalmation. Sadly she couldn't care for him correctly. She was fairly old when she got him and couldn't keep up with his physical needs. He became anxious and began licking his paws excessively and always had a horrible sore on one of his paw. This is a demanding dog, not for everyone.
I love this breeder already. She does an amazing job talking about the Dalmatian effect and how awful it really is to dog breeds. This happened not to long ago with the Tibetan mastiff, people start buying them because they looks like fluffy lions when in reality these dogs are live stock Guarding dogs and do not do well in apartments or are really bred for kids. So many of these dogs were killed in shelters and were given up. Please do your research people.
Question.
Where does English bulodg come from?
Where does the German Shepherd come from?
Where does the Great Dane come from?
Where does the Irish Setter come from?
Where does the French Bulldog come from?
And finally, tell me - where does a Dalmatian come from?
Thanks and greetings from Istria!!
👋👋
P.s. I have a Dalmatian girl, Nola, a year and a half old. She is very lively, on the move all day, the most beautiful dog by far. And I adore her.
😊
I am absolutely in LOVE with the dalmatian breed. I am allowed to get one, and I do have the space and energy to take care of one. But I have no idea what to feed it, any recommendations?
Kaighlei Clendennin dog food is a good start. Or you could look into the BARF diet (biologically appropriate raw food).
Great very informative esp. regarding who shud/shuldnt keep this intelligent active breed
I would love to have one for hunting, they seem really good at that from the shape of their body.
I love my Dalmatian. I'm naturally an active person. So chief and I are great together.
Just discovered your channel today, and I've been watching video after video, great stuff! I would really love to see videos on the great dane or the sharpei 😊
Keep looking, I have videos on both breeds.
Dogumentary TV Awesome, I'll keep looking!
my grand parents had a Dalmatian named pebbles. She was loyal and loving and Id love to get another in the future,
