a long-lived breed so you still have plenty of years to look forward to together
A dog of a breed believed to have originated in Dalmatia, having a short, smooth white coat covered with black or dark brown spots.
"'''''Firehouse dog.'''''"
The Dalmatian 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 sports the flashy spotted markings.
