Animals Dogs Dalmatian

The Dalmatian (Croatian: Dalmatinac) is a breed of dog, noted for its white coat with either black or liver spots. Although other color variations do exist, any color markings other than black or liver are a disqualification in purebred Dalmatians. The famous spotted coat is unique to the Dalmatian breed; no other purebred dog breed features the distinctive spotted markings. The breed takes its name from Croatia's Dalmatia region, where it is supposed to have originated.[dubious – discuss]
