BALANCED ATHLETIC STRUCTURE"The Dalmatian is a distinctively spotted dog; poised and alert; strong, muscular and active; free of shyness; intelligent in expression; symmetrical in outline; and without exaggeration or coarseness. The Dalmatian is capable of great endurance, combined with fair amount of speed... Movement is steady and effortless. Balanced angulation fore and aft combined with powerful muscles and good condition produce smooth, efficient action." Not overdone, his agile structure
must carry him long distances to keep up with horses or carriages. |
EVEN OPEN MARKINGSColor and markings are worth 25 points on the 100 point judging scale of the American Dalmatian Standard: "Spots are round and well-defined, the more distinct the better. They vary from the size of a dime to the size of a half-dollar. They are pleasingly and evenly distributed. The less the spots intermingle the better."

"The Dalmatian has good substance and is strong and sturdy in bone, but never coarse...The head is in balance with the overall dog. It is of fair length and is free of loose skin. The Dalmatian's expression is alert and intelligent, indicating a stable and outgoing temperament... The neck is nicely arched, fairly long, free from throatiness, and blends smoothly into the shoulders... |
...The topline is smooth. The chest is deep, capacious and of moderate width, having good spring of rib without being barrel shaped. The brisket reaches to the elbow. The underline of the rib cage curves gradually into a moderate tuck-up. The back is level and strong.The loin is short, muscular and slightly arched. The flanks narrow through the loin. The croup is nearly level with the back. The tail is a natural extension of the topline." Official Standard of the Dalmatian |
