What’s in a Dog’s Name?

William Shakespeare may have posed the question “what’s in a name?”, but in my opinion, his answer doesn’t apply to everything. Some people think that how a dog behaves is completely dependent on their breed and their training. Even though breed and training do come into the mix, there are a few variables that are overlooked, perhaps the biggest one of the being what you decide to name you dog.

Dogs are not human beings they don't understand things the way humans do, they cant think or reason nor do they understand some of our more complicated human emotions, but this is replaced with their own unique abilities that we would not trade for the world. That is what makes animals so special; they differ from humans. An effort to learn how they think and what makes them tick will help you successfully communicate with your dog.

Let’s face it: Not all dog breeds are as smart as Dalmatians. Because of this well-known fact, if you own a Dalmatian then you should take advantage of his or her cleverness and teach your dog a few tricks when you have some spare time.

If a dog jumps into your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer.
(Alfred North Whitehead)

Dalmatian dogs are often called the 'black and white spotted' dogs as they are found with distinctive black and white spots all over their body.

10. Dalmation

Dalmatians are very protective dogs and can be aggressive towards humans. They are very active and need lots of exercise.

Dalmatians have plenty of stamina and are extremely energetic. They are very playful and active, and are well known for their hyper nature. They do not like to be left alone with nothing to do all day.

Every dog is in need of basic dog obedience training. Your canine, like a young child, must be taught manners. Many dogs have behavioral problems. There are those that show aggressive dog behavior, those that that have turned barking into a hobby, those that are constantly whining, etc.

The time has come to have a bit of fun with your pet. You step out the door, unhook the leash and throw a tennis ball to the other end of the yard...

MASTERING THE WALK

1)Position matters. Walking in front allows you to be seen as the pack leader. Conversely, if your dog controls you on the walk, he’s the pack leader.

Dalmatians are a sensitive and loyal breed, making them great watchdogsHowever, while they are good with Children they may be too energetic for toddlers They also require much human affection and a lot of exercise.

Breed Standards:	Dalmatians may have black or liver coloured spots. Any other colour is unacceptable in the show ring. The breed is muscular yet elegant. The length from the neck to the tail should be the same as the length from the withers to the feet, creating a square shape body. The feet are round, with well arched toes. The tail is thick, tapering and slightly curved.

History:	The history of Dalmatians is hotly disputed by researchers and there is a great deal of disagreement over the origins of the breed. It is not certain where the dog was originally bred or how long ago. Some claim the breed is thousands of years old, others believe the Dalmatian was bred in 12^th or 13^th century Croatia. It is certain that at this time, the breed was used as a guardian of the Dalmatia and Croatia borders. In 19^th century London, the dogs were used to guard horses-drawn coaches, hence the nickname Spotted Coach Dog. To this day, Dalmatians tend to have an affinity for horses. When firefighters used horse-drawn carriages, the Dalmatian would run ahead clearing a path and guiding the horses. When the switch was made to fire engines, Dalmatians remained with the service to locate victims and even guard the firehouse. The Dalmatian remains a popular breed among firefighters due to its’ heroic and loyal past, and is now a mascot of the industry. The breed has also been used as a ratter, for hunting vermin in firehouses, stables and homes.

Fun Facts:	The novel, One Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith created a huge buzz about the breed. Two subsequent Walt Disney films of the same name made Dalmatians one of the most desired breeds worldwide (remember, Dalmatians require plenty of exercise and tend to be heavy shedders). Another interesting fact, is that Dalmatians are the only breed of dog with natural spots.
