Finding a reputable Dalmatian breeder: what to look for before buying a puppy
The Dalmatian wins people over with its striking spotted coat, its intelligence and its outgoing, dignified nature. The breed was originally developed in Croatia as a tireless carriage companion, and a fully grown male stands 56 to 62 cm at the shoulder and weighs a hefty 27 to 32 kg. For an energetic puppy to grow into a robust companion for jogging, hiking or family life, choosing where it comes from is the most important step. A health-focused Dalmatian breeder lays the foundation for a long life of 10 to 13 years through carefully selected matings and precise diagnostics.
