Dalmatian puppy Schleich Farm Life

When a Dalmatian puppy is born, you do not know if he will have black or brown spots. They only appear after about two weeks. After one year they are fully developed. Dalmatians are from Croatia and are tall, slim, elegant dogs. Their patches are as intriguing and unique as a human fingerprint. Dalmatians are mainly cuddly family dogs, but also attentive watch and perennial rescue dogs. Especially with horses, but also with other animals, they understand each other very well. That's why they used to accompany the fire trucks in England and are still the mascot of the New York Fire Department. They are therefore often called firefighter dog. Dalmatian puppies have a white coat at birth. They get the spots later.
