Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Carriage dog, Spotted coach dog
A spotted athlete with stamina to spare and a sharp mind
Bred to run for hours beside horse-drawn carriages, the Dalmatian is athletic, intelligent and sensitive, with a short coat that sheds constantly. It needs long daily exercise and plenty of company to stay balanced.

This breed needs about 90 minutes of activity a day. Around 5 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Best-matched service
About 90 minutes a day, ideally with some running. They are endurance dogs and can turn restless and noisy without enough activity.
Yes. Despite the short coat they shed heavily all year, and the stiff white hairs stick to clothes and furniture. Weekly brushing helps.
They are usually playful and friendly, but can be boisterous and knock over toddlers. They suit active families with older children best.
