About the Dalmatian
Dalmatians are athletic, distinctive and full of personality. They tend to thrive with active owners who can provide daily exercise, interaction and positive training. Their short coat is straightforward to maintain, but their energy and intelligence mean they need more than a quick stroll and a quiet corner. With the right outlet, a Dalmatian can be an affectionate, playful companion who enjoys being part of family life and joining in with adventures. They suit households ready for an energetic dog with a strong, individual character.
