One day he just freaked out and didn't want the medicine and I saw him panting so I stopped trying to give it to him. My vet had said that at his age if he gets stressed he could have a heart attack but they didn't tell me what to look for. Your video could have very well saved my kitty's life! Thank you!

    I did some research and found that the reason dalmatians are firehouse mascots is firefighters used carriages instead of trucks in the old days, and the dogs would run alongside the horses to guard them. As you can probably guess horses are afraid of fires and the dogs act as kinda an emotional support for them too. I wonder why the dogs aren't afraid of fires like the horses though 🤔 Anyways, these working animals are amazing!

    I had a friend who owned 2 Dalmatians, both of the dogs were deaf. He told me about how some Dalmatians are born deaf, and how some of these deaf dogs who are purchased or adopted by ignorant people often end up being abused because the human doesn’t realize the dog is deaf. They lose their patience with “this stupid dog!” My friend knew AMSLAN, and trained his deaf doggos strictly with hand signals. He hated thee”101 Dalmatians” movies because they prompted people to get a Dalmatian without knowing anything about the breed. He told me if you want a Dalmatian pup, just wait until after Christmas when many of those who were bought as Christmas gifts end up in shelters.

    Dogs have been living with humans much longer than horses and the instinctive fear of the smell of smoke would have been bred out of them long ago, because we always had fires near us. Bonfires, fireplaces, candles etc. Dogs who are afraid of those couldn't have lived with us.

    For any dog but especially Dalmatians you need an ethical breeder that looks for temperament when breeding. Dalmatians can have a bad rep for being aggressive. I have now had the pleasure of having two Dalmatians in my life both sweethearts, but I’ve seen the horror stories. But I’ve noticed more horror stories are preluded by overbreeding and popularity.

    Unfortunately, one of the reasons why Dalmatians have so many health issues was due to the success of 101 Dalmatians. When the movie came out, everyone wanted a dalmatian, so to meet with demands, there was a ton of overbreeding without any control. There were health problems with the breed prior to the movies release but the mass demand after the movie made those issues much worse

    That is why deafness is so common in US Dalmations. If you just don't breed dogs with blue eyes the rate of deafness declines substantially but breeders who only care about producing lots of puppies, that will inevitably wind up in pounds to be euthanized when the cute puppy turns into an unmanageable dog because no one should ever get a pet based on how it looks, simply do not care.

    After the big Dalmatian boom after 101 Dalmatian (it was the live action movie) there were a lot of Dalmatians in the pounds and rescue organizations. I love Dalmatians, I just don’t have the lifestyle they need, as well as they don’t meet my needs for a Service Dog. That’s why I have a Great Dane. If more people considered what their needs and limitations were before getting a puppy, there’d be a lot less dogs in the pound.

    Dalmatian owner here! Love to see Hank getting groomed. Bathing can be a lot of work but thankfully, Dals repel dirt. They definitely shed A LOT though and require daily brushing to keep it to a minimum. Most importantly, there is a project in the Dalmatian breeding community to improve the urinary issues they can get. We have many breeders in Canada who are working on what is called LUA Dalmatians (Low Uric Acid) to lessen the likelihood of bladder stones. A testament to quality breeders improving the breed.

My friend gave him the moniker of "Dandelion Dog" referring to the puffball stage of the dandelion. It was accurate. I lost him almost 12 years ago and I think there is still fur from him in my house. He will never be gone. 🙂

The other one was fully deaf and literally did not give a shit about any other dogs besides ours, she was also incredibly well trained, my grandfather used to walk her around the property without a lead and she would stay with him the entire time(Please don't walk your dogs without leads/leashes, no matter how well trained they are. I disagreed with my grandfather about walking her without one especially since she was deaf. I just mean she never ran off and would always check us for directions.)

    @@velvety2006 yes there was and because of that high demand for them, a lot of unqualified people were breeding them. This is definitely a breed that is prone to behavioral issues because of their high energy and intelligence, so when people overbred them, it led to a lot of abandoned Dalmatians because people had no idea how demanding the breed is. They require a ton of exercise, they shed year round, and they are fiercely loyal, so they require proper training. Definitely not a breed for a first time dog owner. But they also love their family more than anything, are hilarious, and extremely intelligent! Not to mention they’re absolutely gorgeous!

    Oh thank goodness the backcross dogs are being accepted by the AKC now. I know there was a project in Europe that used outcrossing to some closely related breeds to eliminate their bladder stone problems and it was wildly successful. When that happened, some breeders and breed organizations decried the dogs as "mutts" even though after a few generations, the resulting dogs were indistinguishable from any other dalmatians AND they were no longer suffering from urinary issues. In really hopeful this project produces similar results here, even if some people will be too stubborn to understand it's a good thing.

    @@holmes1956O there was a Dal at the dog park, muzzled just in case as he got snippy sometimes, and I have a beagle. my beagle came up to me after a few calls when it was time to go home, and this guy's Dal was trotting around doing whatever it liked without a care in the world. it would look up to the owner, so we knew he heard, but he didn't care as he wanted to keep playing. for a beagle to have better recall than any dog is a miracle, so I can believe Dals have selective hearing. just like Dobermans, Dals are smart thinking dogs. without proper training, they will question the human in the house just who exactly is boss and some nasty results can follow. thankfully, I think only experienced owners have taken up owning Dals, so while they are known for their aggression and bites, it's not as bad as it could be and certainly not common with proper breeding and socializing.

    We had a Dalmatian when I was in my teens. She was an atypical Dalmatian and was a fantastic, gentle companion. She didn’t like being bathed so my mom and I would get in our swim suits, put a towel under her belly & “crane” her into the tub. I got in the tub with her and was thoroughly soaked and covered with her fur when we were done. After a towel dry, we’d wrap her in heated blankets with just her snout out. She hated the bath but loved the drying process. 😂

    I had, and it wasn't my best first encounter with a dog. I was visiting a friend who didn't tell me beforehand he had gotten a new dog. When the rolling gate opened, a dalmatian slightly taller than the one in this video jumped on me, her front pals reaching my chest. Thank GOD she was docile. I didn't even had time to scream like a little girl, the dog already was trying to lick my face. I wasn't all that confident on her afterwards, specially when my so called "friend" told me the Dalmatian had bitten the little Pinscher they had, because of jealousy, since both were females an only the little one was allowed inside home. Later that day I was doing a thing on his car, sitting on a stool and the Dalmatian came and started watching me from my back, about a yard away. No matter how much I yelled at her to go away she didn't move, I had to stand up to be obeyed, teaching me the lesson that dogs only respect size... In the end everything was okay, I played with her a lot afterwards, but that first encounter became printed in my memory forever, as the scariest/friendliest first encounter I had with a dog in my life.

They had 10 or 12 pups one year and then Clyde starting chasing their cattle. One of the cows was a known coyote killer and she did not appreciate Clyde trying to make her run. The pups were very sweet though. I got to visit them a lot to help socialize them with kids before they got old enough to be adopted.

Now that I'm older and really appreciate these kinds of high energy/high focus working dogs, I really appreciate how great a companion they can be.

    My first dog was a Dalmatian mix named Phoebe. We got her when I was 9 from a rescue that rescued her from a kill shelter, and prior to that, we're pretty sure she was in an abusive home. She used to be so fidgety and shy, easily overwhelmed, didn't like to feel smothered, and hated anything vaguely stick shaped. She used to run around with me and the other kids in our neighborhood and run *just* fast enough so the slowest kid would be able to keep up with her and be kept in the game. Every morning she would wake me and my brother up for school by flinging herself onto our beds and rolling on top of us til we woke up. She wagged her tail so hard and so much she fractured it, she begged for treats by making wookie noises near the cabinet, she was incredibly stingy with kisses, and her dainty kisses were considered blessings. As she got older she got bolder, more demanding, and stubborn, and we were so happy, because it meant she was truly happy and comfortable with us. She gave us sixteen and a half years, and I'll never forget her. Best dog in the world.

    When I was a kid, we had a liver Dalmatian. Scooter was papered, but it turned out that the place we purchased him through was not very good. We almost lost him 3 weeks into owning him. The vet did confirm that he was a purebred. He also confirmed that he was younger than the seller claimed. We got him healthy, and he was indeed a very energetic and stubborn doggo! I think that my mom didn’t really know much about the breed besides that they were great dogs. As Scooter started teething, he discovered a love of stairs and drywall! That was by far the biggest challenge I have ever seen with breaking a dog of a habit. I am pretty sure that if we had had crate training as a thing back then, we would’ve totally tried that with Scooter. I was hoping that you would bring up the kidney issue. We got to find out the hard way when Scooter was 3. Thankfully he was done with his desire for stairs and walls well before this. He got a bad case of stones, and at first my parents thought it was a carryover from all the drywall. The vet let them know about the diet issue, and as far as I know, he didn’t have any further issues. We had to rehome him shortly after, I never found out why. 😢 I will always remember him though. He is the first dog I ever saw smile!

    My family had two female Dalmatians when I grew up. The first one was liver colored. To say she was headstrong is an understatement. She LOVED when people came over and would go absolutely nuts with joy. The second Dalmatian was black spotted, but had two different colored eyes. I was “her person” and she latched on to me whenever I was around. I got married a few years after they got her, but whenever I would go to visit, she got so excited to see me she couldn’t contain herself and would often wedge herself between my wife and me when we sat down. Dalmatians are truly high energy dogs who have no need for a groomer, which is why she doesn’t see many. They shed…A LOT…and that keeps their coat clean. Their hairs have little barbs on them and wind their way into the threads of your clothing. Lint rollers are useless on the hair. The second dog passed ~15 years ago and her hair can still be found. They are truly loving dogs and their soft fur and beautiful looks are sure to work their way deep into your heart should you choose to own one. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of owning one, you know what I mean - they are the purest form of “living love” you can ever find.

    I used to have a beautiful Dalmatian name Indigo! I gave her the name because she was born with blue/violet eyes! Indigo also could not hear. I did Sign Language with her! She was loads of fun! I lost Indigo in August 2001! She was a ferocious eater! I couldn’t get her to stop eating everything! I was also rushing her to the Vet for something! She was a challenge! But I love her and miss her so much!

    Our Aussie/Red heeler mix, now apparently dubbed the Texas heeler, would run alongside us occasionally. Always at her pace though, she’d go for like 2 miles max. Whenever she’d get tired we’d quit, she had loads of fun. She’d do zoomies a lot, too. One of the last zoomies she did, she went from running in a clear field, to a pile of rather large rocks, and she just leaped from rock to rock. Must’ve been the herding instinct, to run sheep to sheep, lol. She saw the rocks in the distance and went “that’s for me”. Surprised she didn’t slip, running max speed onto rocks, going every which way, at the age of 11, never having done that before in her entire life.

    We had a dalmation when I was young. He def was a runner! Just before his first birthday, he darted out the front door between someone's legs who was coming either in or out of the house (I don't remember which), and was promptly struck by a car. He lived! But he ended up losing his right front leg as a result of the accident. A few years later, he started getting bladder stones. He ended up with a massive infection from the blockage, which cost him his life. RIP, Buster. You were the goodest boy

    A person at my apartment complex about a year ago was training a dalmatian to walk beside him without a leash on. The dog looked at me as they were walking by and actually came up and licked my face. (I use a wheelchair, so I'm the perfect height for a dalmatian.) He was so sweet and gentle when he came up to me! The fact that he was exactly eye level with me is the only thing that makes me not want one, unless the dog was trained not to pull the leash while walking. (I would never walk my dog off leash, regardless of breed, even if I knew I could either.)

    Hi, saw the picture & simply had to reply. Sadly I lost my 13 year old Dally last middle of last year. Even worse I had to made the dreadful call to the vets because my gorgeous puppy dogs back legs failed & I had to do the best thing for him. He died in my lap. Its been way over 6 months & I still miss him. Dalmatians are the most amazing dogs (yes I know lots of dogs are, but I'm biased & praising Dally's ok) So loyal, so loving to their owners. Also bloody hard work on occasions 🙂 They need a huge amount of exercise, and despite their reputation for being daft, they are amazingly intelligent dogs. Cheeky as hell & the most entertaining & wonderful dogs if you have the energy. I'm now 13 years older & being honest I simply could not cope with another Spotty Puppy dog much as I'd love one. So I'm looking to rehome an older Dally that needs a new home & is a teeny bit calmer 🙂 They are wonderful, but please think very carefully if you are thinking about getting one. Thanks.

    I have had a dalmatian for over a decade, and yes they shed CONSTANTLY. they shed all year round, but especially in spring/autumn when the temperatures change. the short spiky hairs have a habit of sticking in fabric and can't be easily brushed off, so you need to keep clothing (especially dark clothes) away from them, unless you want to be covered in dog hair.

    Dalmatian dog is a hound dog, originally bred for hunting (though, for some reason they lost the good sense of smell a century ago). Especially good for hunting on the carst terrain as it is in its homeland, southern Croatian province of Dalmatia. This breed is very jolly, family and children-friendly and likes to chase. Cousin breeds are Istrian hound and Posavina hound.

    They had a dalmation puppy at the stables I used to go to, and it was a nightmare... second only to the border collie they had at one point. Basically, the yard owner got dogs and didn't train them, which was why both of the above became unruly. The dalmation I honestly don't know what happened with him. He was a fast growing pup that went after everything and ate everything he could, I was concerned when I heard he'd managed to eat a whole box of chocolate given to one of the instructors but he came out of the other side of that.... then one day he just wasn't around. I don't know why you'd get dogs like that without being prepared to train them; yes, there was plenty of space, but there was also a lot of activity and liability with the general public. Proper training is essential if you're going to keep dogs like that. I'm just glad my american bulldog is just headstrong. I think he's a bit smarter than he lets on, but that's just part of the stubbourness. Adding extra intelligence and high energy to that is just not a good time unless you have the patience and lifestyle for it.

Even though both of them were fine, especially the one I've got. He knows at least to be gentle with humans smaller than him. He was sold initially, but then a few weeks later he was sent back because they couldn't cope. I mean, he was an ass for a while and we did have to adjust and put training in place. He's not perfect but he's the first dog I've owned, and he's got more manners than some others. It makes me sad to think of what could have happened if we hadn't taken him.

If they see positive reinforcement used, a lot of them view it as "ruining" their horse by "spoiling" it. It's horrible. Always be picky with the ranch or stable you go to if you have the luxury.
