The
only spotted breed, the Dalmatian is alert and active, possessing great endurance,
speed and intelligence. Their working and sporting heritage makes them suitable
as both a family pet or performance animal, and they are often found in the show,
obedience and agility rings, or galloping alongside a horse as a coach dog in
"road trials." Their short coat is white with black or liver (brown)
spots.. - Courtesy of AKC
