Our previous dog was a Dalmation. I thought she was a real wimp. For one thing, she was absolutely terrified , with black and white chessboard pattern tile flooring. She was a gentle, happy natured dog, and easy to train. One day I was walking in the park with her, and this huge nasty-tempered German Shepherd attacked me for no reason I could tell, we were just minding our own business. My "wimpy" girl tore into him with an all-out attack, he got a nasty bite, and fled the scene at the speed of light, whining and crying. I looked around for the owner of the Alsatian, but they were nowhere to be found. I thanked and praised by brave girl, her defence of me was really outstanding and incredibly moving. I no longer giggled at my fine friend when she saw those tiles again. She was a warrior, and peacenik all at the same time. It was the ONLY time in her life I saw her attack anything. A dog that willingly would die for you without even asking. What a champion....
My mini doxie was called all kinds of wimpy names (not by me) because he’s afraid of rain and thunder. One day I fell badly and a fireman was called to help me up and make sure I was okay. I cried out because he was lifting me and I hurt all over. My mini came tearing out from under the bed and savagely went after his ankles and calves to protect me. I felt so bad for the fireman but also so proud of my boy. I apologized over and over to the poor fireman but after he left I gave my baby boy a treat. Just so you know the fireman was okay just his pants got ripped. I offered to show all Max’s records and also to pay for the pants but the fireman said it was okay. Such a nice man, he understood Max was just trying to protect me.
@@spoiledmilk2587 i feel like im missing something. so far in my search i havent found anything that weird. do you have any specific examples of weird stuff hes done or something?
I love how she includes information on where breeds come from, and other things that most people who don't work in the industry, usually don't know. It's Always cool facts, or fun facts. She's obviously a well educated groomer . I love seeing that
As a former Dalmatian owner, I'm not surprised at all. A well-socialized Dal is an angel directly from heaven. Their hair is straight from hell though.
I'd have to agree, mine climbed into the shower no problem, I used to paint her nails too :) The hair on the other hand weaves into everything and shows up on every surface imaginable in plentiful quantities.
@@toomanyaccounts Yeah normal people really shouldnt go for special breeds better off going for whatever animal is relatively normal and healthy. Always bothers me how so many people get balls of energy and yet dont give them proper opportunities to use release it.
Hi from Dalmatia :-D This breed is really rare here. Its replaced by shepherd dogs in field and in the cities its mostly small dogs and Labradors, Huskies, Akitas and other fashionable breeds.
I have 2 Dalmatians; and they are the most well tempered, fun loving - and gentle dogs I've ever had. And they shed enough to make a statue of themselves on a daily basis. Argh.
But they do have...selective hearing. 😆 My grandma's Dalmatians were like that, especially the youngest one Frosty, or Frost as we called her. Frost would decide when she wanted to listen. Eventually she did lose her hearing for real, but before that it was quite hilarious to watch her interactions with Grandma.
My cousin had a Dalmatian just like this, he was so well behaved that he didn't even bark at anything. He was just happy to be around people and get pets
@@gsrjaycee4521 my neighbours had a dalmatian, she was really sweet, her owners let her out in the field behind our houses to play and she would play fetch with us and sit in the middle of us kids, just happy to get human attention
@@brittaneythomas6693 her name was Dawn, she was the sweetest, I remember her waiting for the school bus, she would sit there and wait for all the neighborhood kids and walk us back home
I had a female dalmation mix a couple years ago and it's so funny that she had the same mildly stressed, confused expressions as this dog 😂 like not enjoying the experience but quietly enduring a nail clipping while contemplating her existence. She was a good gorl ❤
What a sweetie. That look on her face in the Happy Hoodie…and then you can see her take a deep breath. You can tell she’s nervous but trusting at the same time.
that is what i've been thinking very young and so calm! beautiful to see a dog like that! i have a 2yo golden, and she is very vivacious, but she does behave well at the vet's ... we do not do groomers, we do it ourselves, but bet she would be good tooo
Ladco77: Yes. Ours was a lovely animal and totally friendly with anyone. However, laid back? - NO. Into everything, after anything and always doing something.
@@JimWhitaker One of my grandma's dalmatians Frosty had so much energy that it seemed neverending. She would always be running everywhere seeing and looking at things on my grandma's farm. And she'd always jump when greeting people in excitement, no matter how much training she got. Strangely enough, as a kid, Frost was always gentle with me as well. So she seemed to understand the delicate balance between playing with adults vs children.
This makes me miss my Duncan. He was a pure bred Dal, always the perfect gentleman and a ferocious protector of my daughters. All I had to go was pick up the hose and call him over and he would stand there while I washed him down. Afterwards he would run around jumping and rolling like he'd just had the most wonderful experience in the world.
my boss messaged me asking why i always watch videos of dogs and cats being groomed on my lunch. I told her just watch it one time, shes now subscribed..
1:11 Freya: "um what am I supposed to do? Do I stay still? Do I talk? Ooo maybe I should start a conversation? Is she doing her job correctly? What's the point of getting cleaned if I'm gonna go the the mud, dust and grass pool? Why she filming me? Is this a secret show I don't know about?"
I had a Dalmatian as a child. His first time getting wet was when he jumped off a small cliff and into a lake. He was so shocked he refused to move. The water didn't quite reach his shoulder, after about ten minutes of him doing a statue impersonation I got in and had to pull him out.
I love their expressions of pleasure when their heads are massaged, then the looks of bewilderment, embarrassment or just "I'm ignoring you!" with the happy hoodie on! She's adorable! And she is brilliantly behaved
She might be the most trusting and unbothered dog I've seen on this channel. The one time she looked deeply unsure was when the groomer fully stepped away.
My "mega mutt" is exactly like her! She doesn't scream or cry at all while I'm showering her, one the things that helps it out it's the fact I play with her while giving her a bath, like talking happy with her, scratching her belly etc. Now she is also 1 year old and doesn't even care taking a bath!
The best dog I ever knew was a Dalmatian-Lab mix. He helped me raise my two kids. He was fearless but gentle. I have a tattoo of him on my forearm to remind me to always be a fearless, gentle father. He passed many years ago and I still miss him.
if I had to guess, she has both Ticking and Dalmatian spotting. It's currently assumed that Dalmatian Spots are a genetic modifier of ticking that must be homozygous to show properly as the traditional Dalmatian coloring, on a piebald base. Bulldogs would carry Ticking and Piebald generally, or Ticking and Irish possibly, without checking I can't be sure. I'm really in love with her large patches AND small spots, as I've never seen even a dal mix like that. Growing up, my neighbors had a Dalmatian who was really friendly and followed their daughter and I around until he passed in the early 2000s. He was a good boy and this breed will always be associated with the late 90s, popsickles, and summers at the duck pond for me. :)
I haven't a clue about the colouring - if you want to talk greyhounds, I'm your woman! (And greyhound colouring is a law unto itself: you can even tell its likely character by its colour scheme!) But I do remember (a loooong time ago!) when I was young, a neighbour of my grandparents had a Dalmatian called William (that's one thing I do know about them. They require proper names as befits their dignity. Calling such a handsome young man something like "Puppykins" should be a crime!) William was incredibly friendly, loved playing with kids of any age, had way more energy than the rest of us put together, and despite having that element of dignity, was generally bat-poop crazy. In a great way! Not a bad bone in him, he was just nuts 😂 Needless to say, we loved that dog. No idea what happened to him (when, rather than how the inevitable that comes to us all came to him - like I said, it was a long time ago), but he outlived my grandparents, so one day I just never got to see him again. ☹️ As my mother was _not_ a dog person (we had a cat - when he could be bothered to come home. Typical tomcat - again, it was ages ago, neutering wasn't high on anyone's radar without good reason), though she would never harm one or let one be harmed - our nextdoor neighbour's lab Solomon did very well out of her with scraps of the Sunday joint lol. Then Dad, a real dog person, would sneak treats out to him behind Mum's back. I don't think either knew what the other was doing, and Solly wasn't telling anyone! 😂 I didn't get my own first dog until after a couple of months of marriage. Hubby came with a dog, it was a two for one deal. Then he got lonely and cried when we were out (his dog, not hubby! 😉) so we got him a friend from the racers rescue kennels. She became my gal. Lost her 26 years ago and I still think about her every day. Sorry for the tangent, but as you're dog people, I'm sure you'll forgive me (you'll at least understand!)
Our puppy's groomers had a similar experience with our little pup when he had his first groom, we did a lot of research before getting him so we knew to prepare him for the groomers, we played with his paws and ears a lot (nicely ofc) and even gave him mini baths with the hose and the kiddies pool. They were stunned at how well behaved he was for his first time! So proud of my family for doing our research and our little pupper for being so good😂❤️
What a beautiful dog, and so good natured. I love Dalmatians. A friend of mine had one when I was a kid. Her name was Daisy. She was the sweetest thing, and would jump in the pool and swim with us.
MY DALMATIAN DANNY DIED EXACTLY THIS DAY A YEAR AGO HE WAS 9 AND A HALF YEARS OLD AND DUE TO KIDNEY AILEMENT WE HAD TO EUTHANISE HIM.....I MISS HIM SO MUCH! I WAS A CHILD WHEN I GOT HIM AS A PUPPY HE WAS A PART OF MY LIFE.....I WILL NEVER FORGET HIM....I STILL CRY TO THIS I MISS HIM SO SO MUCH.....I LOVE U DANNY
@Kharley Kinn my mum dad and my sis we all cried that day and werent able to hold our tears......we cant have another pet because we have fear that we will not be able bear the pain of losing another loving creature again.....
RIP Danny. My cat Sweetie passed over 10 years ago and we still talk about her. We haven’t adopted another cat yet because we can’t bear the thought of losing it. Sweetie was so special. She thought she was our mom and protector. She would guard us at night and check on us when she heard movement. Lol. If she was up early and we weren’t, she would quietly leave until she knew we were awake. Smh. What a lovely kitty.
My baby 15yo pitbull was like that when I bathed her, every single time! She was always so calm yet in a constant state of alert haha Since I had her she was always so quiet and zen but dangerous at the same time, I miss her so much What a cute pup, she brought back some good memories.
Dalmatians are my favorite breed, my first dog as a kid was one and I have owned 3 of them since. They love to play be given things to do like fetching the newspaper etc. Very loyal dog breed that are really just big teddy bears and very loving, just make sure that they have proper training when they are young and make sure to keep them involved with your family and life because they are very sociable pets and dont like to be alone
