Dalmatian
Athletic, active and easy to "spot"
Dalmatians 101
Non-SportingThe lean, athletic build and graceful gait of the Dalmatian are lovely to see in action, which is the way the Dal prefers to be. A Dalmatian will never be a couch potato, although they won't mind sharing a rest with their people after a nice long run. A good fit for active families.
