Breedia Dog Forum
Another Dalmatian for me probably, but not for a good few years yet! They suit me well, they are beautiful and are hilarious :lol:
Someone once asked if my mums Beardie x was a Hancock's dog. She looked just like a greyhound when she was wet, but was hairy like a Beardie.
I've been casually looking at Working Type Springers and Cockers and am noticing they don't seem to be health tested. We have a working type...
How tall is he? Could have Spaniel in him? (either Springer or Cocker?)
Didn't realise the thread was that old!

yes I've recently got a bitch, the darker one in my pic :-)
Oh yey! More Dally owners :lol: I've got the spotty monsters (and a spotty horse :lol: ) [IMG]
Male Dals are 23-24 inches, the coat colour doesn't make a difference. :-) Dals are supposed to be lean and sporty as well, not great big fat...
Is he tiny or is he the correct size :lol: Are his ears sticking up as well? lol
