~ Back to Danish Blue Porcelain Plates Index ~
The Dalmatian is a distinctively spotted dog; poised and alert; strong, muscular and active and intelligent in expression. The Dalmatian is capable of great endurance, combined with a fair amount of speed. Dalmatian puppies are born without spots. Dalmatians are famous for being the "Fire House Dog", and they are often featured in older ads and spots riding on fire engines. The Dalmatian has frequently been found in bands of Romanies, and like its gypsy masters, it has been well-known, but not located definitely in any one place.
