DALMATIANS & Dalmatian puppies dogs
On the XIX century it was very frequent to see elegant Dalmatians running next to carriages, in some part, to protect them from the thieves that were waiting on the way and also to scare away any animal that could frighten the horses. It was also used as a hunting dog, due to its energy and resistance. During certain time, it was wrongly believed that it proceeded from Dalmatian, in ancient Yugoslavia, to which it owes the name it is know by.
