Dalmatian Breed Information

Dalmatian 2008 Wall Calendar
Friendly and polite, the Dalmatian is also a good watchdog. It is believed that Dalmatians originated near the Adriatic Sea in Dalmatia, a region of Croatia. Distinctly spotted, poised and alert, the Dalmatian is a strong dog that loves to run and play. Dashing Dalmatians run throughout this handsome 2006 wall calendar.
