The Dalmatian's grace belies its athleticism. Beneath the black spots lies a muscular build, perfectly proportioned for endurance. Their powerful hindquarters propel them forward with a smooth, effortless gait. Originally tasked with guarding carriages and horses, some of this protective instinct remains in the Dalmatian. While reserved with strangers, they are dependable watchdogs and loving, loyal companions for their human family.
