DALMATIAN

Picture of Dalmatian

The Dalmatian (or spotted carriage dog) is a Croatian (originating from the region of Dalmatia in East Croatia) breed of spotted dog half-hound and half-pointer. It was formerly known as the Danish Spotted or Coach Dog. Dalmatians were first introduced to England during the 18th century and used as coach dogs (protecting travellers from highwaymen) before becoming fashionable in England about 1820. Dalmatians are an energetic breed, good house dogs and rarely bark unless in the presence of strangers.
