Newborn Dalmatians - Photo from Wikimedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOkay, so what about their amazing coat?\u00a0 Well, Dalmatians were used as carriage dogs in the early days so maybe there is a connection there.\u00a0 Who knows, right? What we do know is Dalmatian puppies have a completely white coat for the first week of their life.\u00a0 After this the spots begin to show up and within a month they will have most of their spots.\u00a0 Although, they will continue to appear at a slower rate throughout the Dalmatian’s life.\u00a0 I wonder if we can tell how old your dog is by counting the number of spots.\u00a0 Surprisingly, you aren’t confined to having the typical white dog with black spots.\u00a0 Some other colours found in rarer cases include a bluish-gray, orange, lemon and of course tan.\u00a0 How come these colourful versions were never featured on a hit Disney movie?<\/p>\n
Dalmatian Fast Fact – <\/strong>In the past, I have heard that this particular dog can be quite mean.\u00a0 Apparently, a form of aggression does appear when the dog is cooped up for longer periods of time.\u00a0 This “aggression” towards smaller dogs is their way of playing.\u00a0 From everything I have read, if you show affection and love to your Dalmatian from day one then they will be one of the best companions you can ask for.<\/p>\nWell that does it for the week.\u00a0 I hope you enjoyed our random facts this week and I look forward to seeing all of you on Monday.\u00a0 Enjoy the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I suppose I should have saved the Dalmatian for Wild Fact 101 but I felt like writing about a dog today and I have always been intrigued by this famous breed.\u00a0 This special breed is best known for being part of a great cartoon or riding on a firetruck.\u00a0 But let’s face it, there has to be more to the Dalmatian then Hollywood and Fires.\u00a0 So grab the leash, the pooper-scooper and we will go for a walk to learn about this fascinating breed of dog. There are two things that I wonder about when it comes to the Dalmatian.\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4056,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60,4024],"tags":[1706,348,1704,1707,1705,4025],"yoast_head":"\n
