My dalmatian is 7 months old and she got her period two times already. Is she not young enough to have puppies? About my questions here, some people thought that my dog was hit by another dog that early but she's not. She got her menstrual period for 2 times already and she's just 7 months old. Too early for her to have it. That's why I am asking this question here. Thanks guys to some who anser my questions earlier. I really appreciate it very much. Happy New year to all.
Answer:Seven months old? She is still a puppy herself. You need to wait until she is one year old to have her hips certified by the OFA. Your vet can do the x-rays to get the certification started. You also need to research your bloodlines and your breed for genetic diseases. The purpose of breeding is to ensure and IMPROVE quality to your breed. Most dogs are not up to par for this task. You need to have a healthy Dalmation to have healthy pups. If you have any doubt of her health or temperment, please don't breed. Breeding is very expensive and hard work. If you are not prepared for all the work above, do not turn into a BYB please! This world has enough.
He is a two year old dalmatian and I got him from the pound. Every time someone passes our house he runs very aggressively out to them. He is very loving to me and my mum but he does not like men at all. I'm so worried that we might have to leave him back to the pound, please help!!!! I have an electric fence for him.
Answer:Hi I also have a 2 yr Dalmatian that does this, I got him from a breeder and he is behind a fence at least 3 car lengths from people walking by. I have taken him to obedience $1000.00 worth and he still does this, Dalmatians are VERY protective of their property and cars (he does this while in the car as well). He is socialized very well and doesn't do this at dog parks or while I walk him. Just while he "protects" his yard. I don't see the problem with this, as he has never hurt anyone! I had a female Dalmatian many years ago and she did this too. I think it is just how they are, if I'm mistaken I apoligise. Best of luck
is dalmatian an easy to train dog and good for a beginner?
Answer:The movie 101 Dalmations did a lot of damage to this breed. Everyone wanted one and less then reputable breeders overbred the animals...now many have unstable dispostions and health problems.
We're possibly getting a Dalmatian in October, and I've heard they need coats in the Winter because the cold gets them so bad. Where could I get a normal dog coat online? (Like not the idiotic bomber jackets etc.) And how could I keep him cool in the Summer? I've heard of people walking their Dallies in wet t-shirts but surely they'd dry out pretty fast?
Answer:I have a rainproof coat for my puppies because when they get wet, they get cold and start to shiver. When they have the coat on, they just walk as normal. However, you don't want your puppy to become soft and not want to go out in the cold weather so be careful about which coat you choose. There are lots of websites that you can buy coats off and if you are in the UK, you could try Pets at Home (US Pet smart). My dogs love ice cubes so I give them plenty of them in the summer to keep them cool. You could also get a child's paddling pool in your garden and fill it with cold water if your puppy likes to play in water. Make sure it has access to fresh, clean drinking water at all times and somewhere in the shade to rest away from the sun.
