The Dalmatian is a breed of dog who's roots are traced to Dalmatia, a region of Croatia. It is noted for its white coat with either black or liver spots. This popular breed of dog is a well-muscled, mid-sized, elegant dog with excellent endurance. The duties of this ancient breed are as varied as their reputed ancestors. They were used as dogs of war, guarding the borders of Dalmatia. To this day, the breed retains a high guarding instinct; although friendly and loyal to those the dog knows and trusts, it is often aloof with strangers and unknown dogs.
