Dalmatian, commonly known as Dalmatian, is a medium-sized short-haired dog. In the United States, the recognized body shape is: shoulder height 48.5 to 61cm, weight 19kg-32kg. Females are usually slightly smaller than males. But now, many Dalmatians are much larger than the norm. Some male Dalmatians can even reach a shoulder height of 70cm and a weight of 40kg. The British Dalmatians seem to be larger than those in the United States.
Dalmatians: The ideal height at the withers is approximately 19 to 23 inches. Too large or too small is a defect. Any dog, male or female, exceeding 24 inches at the withers shall be disqualified. Overall body length (distance from sternum to hip) is approximately equal to height at withers.
Eyes: Slightly set apart, medium in size, a bit round in appearance, and in an appropriate position on the head. Eye color is usually brown or blue, or a combination of the two, preferably darker, usually in black-spotted breeds than in liver-spotted breeds.
The coat is short, thick, fine and close-fitting. Neither wool nor silk. The appearance of the coat is sleek, shiny, and healthy.
Generally speaking, the main things to pay attention to when choosing a puppy are:
1. Be sure to choose someone who is in good mental condition and relatively active. And it's not the excitement of meeting a stranger, but the excitement is relatively high and the state is relatively good.
2. Choose the stronger one among a group of puppies. You can feed the puppies some dog food and see which dog comes to eat first.
