Look at me! I am an AKC registered Dalmatian puppy! My Mom is Tracy. I was born on September 30th and I will be ready for my forever home on November 25th! I have been family raised on a farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and dewormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Leroy Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
I will come with my vet and shot/dewormer records. We would be happy to help you with setting up transportation and shipping of your puppy if needed at an additional cost.
Dalmatians are extremely energetic, sensitive, and loyal and are great for a busy, active family, but they are not the best for new dog owners. They are very playful and friendly, but dislike being left alone, and are not a good breed for apartment dwellers. The Dalmatian does require a significant amount of exercise, at least an hour or two a day at a minimum. This is due to their initially being used as a carriage breed during the 17th - 19th centuries in the British Isles. They would run for very long distances alongside the coach and guide the horses on the roads. It was very aristocratic to have this handsome pedigree accompany a carriage during this time. When the Dalmatian arrived in the United States it was then used for when the fire wagons would go to extinguish fires. They would guard the equipment and even calm down the horses. It was common for the Dalmatian to sleep in the stable with the horses and therefore protect them from other animals. Even today there is a special bond between the Dalmatian and a horse. This breed is great with children and other pets, but early training and socialization is advised. Dalmatians are quite intelligent and possess an excellent memory, and therefore are easy to train. The Dalmatian is typically 19-24 inches high, normally weighs 48-70 pounds, and generally has a lifespan of 9-16 years.
