Consider how much time and energy you are willing to commit to your new companion. Dalmatians have A LOT of energy, and require multiple walks or runs a day. They were originally bred to run alongside carriages to protect the contents, people inside, as well as horses from robbers! 😲 Without proper exercise dalmatians become disruptive, destructive, and even aggressive.
Dalmatians come in a variety of colors. Although white with black spots is the most common, there are also liver-spotted (brown), lemon-spotted (yellow), orange-spotted, as well as tri-color dalmatians out there too! 🌈 A running joke among all dalmatian owners is that dalmatians only shed once a year, for 365 days! Be prepared to find little white hairs in every nook and cranny of your house if you welcome a dal into your home.
