Dalmations
The Dalmatian, with its unforgettable spotted coat, is a sleek fun loving animal that is easily recognizable. This large dog is good-natured and very intelligent. Immortalized in the famous Disney movie 101 Dalmations most people find that one is more than enough.
These are active agile dogs that need plenty of exercise so take a Frisbee if you don’t want to be running around all afternoon. They love games.
With a lifespan of around 15 years these are considered a relatively healthy breed. They do need proper training early on in life to avoid issues later on and establish the ground rules.
A word of warning though, deafness is an issue in this breed with up to a quarter being born with hearing in one ear only and some even completely deaf. So if you’re thinking of buying one then have its hearing checked first otherwise you may have problems training them otherwise.
