Dalmatians are tall, strong, and very fast runners. They have a sleek white coat covered in round spots. Dalmatian puppies are born all white and their spots appear as they grow up!
Dalmatians need lots of exercise because they have so much energy to burn. They love to run, play, and be active. Dalmatians are loyal and love spending time with their families.
- Long ago, dalmatians used to run next to fire trucks to help clear the way.
- That is why they are still the mascot of many fire stations today.
