What a lovely video, thank you so much. This is my dream dog. No matter how many years go by, no matter how many other dogs i see. I only want a Dalmatian, and I can not wait for my time to get my own puppy.
I agree with you when it comes to hair. It is the worse. Even my pup Perdita hates her own hair. I find it up her nose, in her ears.. and in her mouth. She hates it and seems to know its her doing. But we manage. Perdita has had re occurring ear infections in one ear but again, easily managed. She also does not particularly like carpets (as I think she is a little allergic to some of the fibres.) She does have a high prey drive and has gone for birds, cats, possums, rats.. you name it? she'll try. haha. I will be definitely be owning more dals in the future. They are such affectionate and loyal dogs. I wouldn't change anything about Perdi's personality. Since I trained her early.. She has matured into a very very well behaved soul. She will be 3 years old in June... Your pack of spotted darlings remind me so much of her. ^^
Great video, thank you for posting. Do you think it makes sense to get a dalmatian when you live in a small apartment? I live in a city and own a 560 sq ft (47 sqm) apartment. I love walking so taking dog for a walk in the morning (40 min) and a longer one in the evening (1,5h) sounds awesome but will it be enough movement for a dalmatian?
I just got a Dalmatian/Heeler mix and I can relate to the shedding. The entire ride home there were white hairs flying EVERYWHERE, lol! It was like the cottonwood trees were in full bloom. The sweetest, smartest dog ever though. I just got her yesterday and im already in love. Just thinking about her makes me giddy.
Could you please tell me that are dalmatians good friends to go hiking or do agility? 😊 I would love have 4 leg friend to go ride bike, run, swim, hike, maybe do some agility. I have had great danes and dachshunds but I'm looking more energetic and loving parter
I am getting a 8 week old dalmatian boy at Christmas any advice? I have 3 labs that are 7 months and a husky that is a year. They will be all family dogs. Dalmatian I wanted to make a ESA dog.
Yes you can make it work, you would need to supervise them as children don’t always respect the dog and you don’t want the dog to correct the child. Also they are quite a bouncy breed so you don’t want them to accidentally knock a child over and frighten them. They are great around children though, my aunt had them when my cousin and I grew up and they were always with us
I know this video is 2 years old, but here in the US they say legumes are high in purines and recommend a diet with grain. Do you still feed grain free? I know things are a bit different between here and the UK
Loved this video. I have got my first dalmation is it normal that their nails grow really fast? Do you recommend if I was to get another dally to go for a girl or boy. I know what you mean about the hairs 😂
It all depends on the dogs some of my dogs get their nails done weekly while others hardly ever need doing. It all depends on the Dalmatian you have and their personality and then taking the advice on the breeder on which puppy would fit in best with the dog you already have. Keeping males and females together can be tricky as when the female comes into season then it can be very stressful keeping them apart
I think this is an extreme view, plenty of people own Dalmatians and have a life. They work full time and have children. You just need to better manage your time to ensure a dogs needs are met
