The Dalmatian is a very active dog and needs plenty of exercise. He's a fast runner with a great deal of stamina. If left to his own devices a Dalmatian will head cross country on a jaunt that could last several days, so always exercise him on leash or in a secure area. Dalmatians thrive with human companionship and do not do well if relegated to the backyard. They should have plenty of time with their family or they will pine.

Because of his unique uric acid metabolism, it's important to observe whether your Dalmatian is urinating regularly. For the same reason, be sure to provide him with easy access to fresh water all the time.

Dalmation/Lab mix

Hi, One of the nearby shelters has a female Lab/Dalmation mix puppy that is very cute. Before I try to adopt her, how large (in pounds) is she likely to get? Thanks! Diane

deafness

My niece is interested in a dalmation who happens to be deaf. Does anyone have experience with dogs who can't hear? I'd like to give her some advice, but not discourage her.
