Short History of the Breed

Physical Description and Size
Dalmatians range from 18" - 24" at the withers and can range from 40 - 60 lbs. Of course there are exceptions and some can be bigger or smaller. There are never any guarantees as to what size your puppy will grow to.
Dalmatians come in both black and liver (brown) spotted. Ideally they should be distinctly marked with little or no spots mingling with eachother, but some people prefer heavily marked dals and others lighter marked. There is also a ditinct spot called a patch which is a solid large spot with no white hairs intermingleing and has a siky texture compared to the rest of the coat. Although dogs with patches cannot be shown or bred they can be very cute and still make great pets. It's all cosmetics.
