Dalmatian Talk

When I was a child, I always wanted a Dalmatian for a pet—and although my dad agreed with me that they were awesome-looking dogs, I always ended up with beagle mixes—or what my mother called “mutts”—instead. (Don’t get me wrong—beagles are great, and I always loved mine.) When I asked why we couldn’t get a Dalmatian, my mother told me it was because they always get sick, are psychotic as far as dogs go, and that it would just die on us anyway.

A enthusiastic breed.Dalmations make great pets for people who have very active lives.  If you are looking for a laid back companion, this is not the breed for you.  This spotty fellow wants to be put to work!  Dalmations are a hard working breed of dog.  Back in the day, they were used as carriage dogs, especially helping fire men during the horse-drawn carriage era.  This dog needs to be kept busy all the time!

We are just about to get a totally deaf 18 month old bitch dalmation from a rescue centre. Has anybody got any experience of the likely problems we are going to come up against as we try to train her?

I have two dogs that got in a fight over food. One bit the other on the nose. Now the dogs whole nose is swelling and i think she could have possibly retracted heartworn disease. Now not only she is bleeding and swelling in that one place on her nose, she is also bleeding above both eye brows, she has had no contact with my other dog and i have no clue as to why she is bleeding, so if can help any please email me at sshoe333@yahoo.com
Thanks!
