Dalmatians are lovable, intelligent and loyal companions.
The Dalmatian is a medium-large, happy, athletic, active breed. The American Kennel Club encourages prospective owners to research a breed carefully before deciding to make a purchase. The DCA agrees with this idea and urges anyone considering getting a Dalmatian to find out as much as possible about the breed before bringing one into their family. You should contact a DCA member in your area to learn more about Dalmatians, and to help you find a responsible breeder or refer you to an affiliated rescue group. It is most important to resist the urge to buy any dog on impulse.
