dalmatian dog?

I have a dalmatian named Angie. She’s old but nice. Dalmatians have a temper problem though. They like to walk and need exercise often. We made the mistake of not taking Angie on walks and now she is fat D: we trying to put her on diet food and walk her often. Also be careful around children. Try to get a nice older one that has experience and doesn’t bite or puppy and train it yourself. Hope this helps they’re really beautiful dogs.

My best friend and my Unlce both have Dalmations, my Uncles is very aggressive and bad with anyone but his family, even though they take it everywehere and socialized it well. I heard this about other people’s dalmations also. My best friends Dalmation was the funnest happiest dog I ever met, but SO high energy, they lived on a farm and good thing, because she rarely stopped running!! I think that they are just like any other dog and adapt to how they are raised, like when raised with kids they are good with kids, hopefully because my Uncles is really mean. but yea, make sure you have lots of time to spend walking and lots of moeny to spen on vet bills I think they are prone to some health problems

Hi, I have dalmatians, they can be GREAT dogs! Here is some information for you:

Dalmatians are a wonderful breed for a family with children. They are medium-sized, sturdy enough to tolerate children’s horseplay, yet not so big as to be over powering. As with any dog, small children need to be educated about their pets likes and dislikes, and the dog should be trained to have proper behavior, especially around small children. It is important to purchase your puppy from a reputable breeder who has socialized the puppies with children, teenagers, and adults.

Dalmatians are intelligent and strongly desire to please their owners. With positive reinforcement techniques and consistently setting limits for appropriate behavior, the Dalmatian quickly learns to be an excellent canine citizen. Training classes are highly recommended for any dog, helping the owner learn how to train their new dog.

Properly bred and raised Dalmatians are usually not “hyper.” Dalmatians do have high energy levels, as they have historically been bred to trot all day with the horse and carriage. Dalmatians should have daily physical exercise to help maintain their health and happiness.

A well-bred Dalmatian is a generally healthy dog requiring little special care. Dalmatians do have a unique uric acid metabolism, with high levels of uric acid excretion in their urine, which can make kidney and bladder stone formation a possibility. By paying attention to the dog’s diet and providing plentiful water, the knowledgeable owner can usually prevent serious problems.

Dalmatians who are deaf in only one ear make perfectly good pets, but are generally inappropriate for breeding. The hearing status of any Dalmatian puppy should be documented by BAER (Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response) testing, which is highly reliable and usually done in the puppy’s second month of life.

Because of the Dalmatians high uric acid excretion, they should not have an excessive amount of protein in their diet. Commercial dog foods are usually well tolerated, but extra proteins, such as meat and table scraps, should be avoided.

Older Dalmatians can make wonderful pets. There may be a period of adjustment to a new home, but they quickly bond with their new owners and learn their new routines and environment. Acquiring an older Dal has the advantage of avoiding the sometimes-challenging puppy stages of chewing and housebreaking.
