Dalmatian

One of the most famous children's films was made around the Dalmatian. It is, of course, the film '101 Dalmatians'. This breed of dog is known for its exceptional amount of spots. That is actually strange, because in general dots are seen as a disadvantage. However, this is not the case with the Dalmatian. However, there is much more to this breed than just its spots.

Thus, the Dalmatian is not only a nice and beautiful dog to look at, it is also a very loyal dog that would rather be nowhere than with its owner. This does not mean, however, that the dog prefers to spend all day on the couch of its owner. The Dalmatian is an active dog that loves action. You will make him very happy with a long walk, for example.

The dog fits well in a family. It loves the affection of its owner and other family members. However, you have to make sure that your family members do not have an allergy to dog hairs. This is because the Dalmatian loses quite a lot of hair.

It is not very easy to determine the origin of the Dalmatian. However, we are fairly certain that the dog originally came from Central Europe. Around 1800, there was the region of Dalmatia. It will not surprise anyone that it is quite possible that the dog originated here.

Originally, Dalmatians had a rather unique function, a function that is not found in any other breed. Dalmatians were coach dogs. This does not mean that they pulled the coach, no, they walked in front of or beside it and guarded the carriage and horses when it was left unattended. The Dalmatian accompanied the Roma on their travels through Europe. This is what makes it so difficult to determine the exact origin of this breed. The Roma travelled all over Europe!

When raising a Dalmatian, it is important to give the dog a positive experience with new places. The dog needs to learn that there is no danger in such places. This will not only make your life a lot easier. It also ensures that the dog has a pleasant life. The Dalmatian is a rather sensitive dog. Therefore, do not be too harsh during training. A positive approach is the best approach with the Dalmatian.
