How to see if the spotted dog is pure or not? The spotted dog is an alias for Dalmatian, so some partners may not be very clear, so the following small beans to share the purebred Dalmatian spotted dog identification method. Purebred Dalmatian spotted dog identification method: body type: the ideal shoulder height of Dalmatians is about 19 to 23 inches. Too large or too small is a defect. Whether male or female, any dog with a shoulder height of more than 24 inches is out of shape. The length of the entire body (the distance from the sternum to the hips) is approximately equal to the shoulder height. The Dalmatian has a good constitution, with strong and robust bones, but never rough. Head: The Dalmatian’s head is fairly well coordinated with the entire body. It is of correct length and has no loose skin. Expression: The Dalmatian’s expression appears alert and intelligent, showing a stable and outgoing temperament. Eyes: Slightly separated in position, medium sized, somewhat round in appearance, and properly positioned on the head. The color of the eyes is usually brown or orchid, or a combination of both, with darker colors being more desirable, usually darker for the black spotted breed than the liver spotted breed. Abnormally positioned eyelids or eyelashes (inward turning of the eyelids, outward turning of the eyelids, inverted eyelashes) are considered serious defects. Under-pigmented eye circles are also considered a serious defect. Ears: Ears of medium size, slightly wide at the root (in proportion), tapering to a slightly rounded tip. The position is high and close to the head, and the texture of the ears is thin and delicate. When the Dalmatian is alert, the tops of the ears are flush with the top of the head and the tips extend down to the bottom line of the cheeks. Head: The top of the head is flat, with a slight longitudinal indentation in the middle, and the head is equal in width and length. Stop: The stop is moderately well defined. The cheeks are smoothly integrated into a strong muzzle. Muzzle: The contours of the muzzle and the contours of the head are parallel to each other, and the length is approximately the same as the length of the head. Nosepiece: The nosepiece is adequately pigmented, black for dogs with black spots and brown for dogs with liver spots. Insufficient pigmentation of the nosepiece (part of the nosepiece is flesh-colored or completely flesh-colored) is a serious defect. Lips: neat and tightly closed bite and: clipped bite and. Protruding upper jaw bite and or protruding lower jaw bite and are disqualified. Neck, backline, torso: Neck: beautifully rounded, fairly long, without flab, and smoothly integrated into the scapula. Dorsal line: smooth, Chest: deep, with a large and moderately wide chest volume, well supported by ribs, but no barrel chest. The bottom of the chest extends down to the elbow. The bottom of the thorax is gracefully curved and lifts moderately toward the back of the torso. Back: Horizontal and firm. Waist: short, well muscled, and slightly domed. The lumbar fossa is quite narrow throughout the lumbar region. Hips: Relative to the back, almost flat. Tail: A natural extension of the dorsal line. The position should not be too low. The root is stout and tapers towards the end, extending to the fly joint. The tail should never be broken. The position is a slight upward curve, but never curled to the back. A ringed tail or a tail that is positioned too low is considered a defect. Forequarters: Scapulae: Muscles are smooth and sloping backwards. Upper Arm: The upper arm bones are approximately the same length as the scapula, joined to the scapula, and at an adequate angle so that the paws can be located just below the scapula. Elbows: close to the torso. Forelimbs: straight, strong, and with strong bones. Gum bones: The gum bones are slightly angled and show flexibility. Hindquarters : The hindquarters are very strong and possess smooth, but very well defined muscles. Knee joint: well flexed. Fly joint: Lowly positioned, when the Dalmatian is standing, the hind legs are parallel to each other from the start of the fly joint to the foot paws when viewed from behind. The bull limb is a very serious defect. Foot paws: Foot paws: Very important. Both the front and rear paws are very round and compact, with thick and flexible pads and rounded arches of the toes. Flat feet are a very serious defect. Dogs with black spots have black and white toenail colors; dogs with liver spots have brown and/or white toenail colors. Wolf paws can be removed. Coat: The coat is short, thick, fine and close-cropped. It is neither woolly nor silky. The appearance of the coat is sleek, shiny and healthy. Color and markings: Color and markings: The color and markings and his overall appearance are the key factors to consider when judging. The base color is pure white. A dog with black markings has spots that are a strong black. A dog with liver colored markings has spots that are liver brown in color. Other than that, spots of any color are out of order. Spots: Spots are round and clear, the clearer the better. The size of the spots ranges from the size of a 10 cent coin to the size of a half dollar coin. Spots are appropriately sized and evenly distributed. It is better if the spots are not mixed. Usually, spots on the head, legs, and tail are smaller than spots on the body. Spots on the ears are preferable. Tricolor (rarely occurs in this breed): Tricolor is out of order. Brown markings are found on the head, neck, chest, legs brown tail, etc. in dogs with black spots or liver spots. Due to environmental influences or arising from normal changes in the coat: bronzed black spots, faded or/and darkened liver spots are not tricolor. Color block: Color blocks are out of frame. A color patch is a large area of pure black or liver colored hair with no white coat. The area is larger than normal spots. Color clumps are dense, shiny in color and have clear, smooth borders. A large area of color consisting of many spots mixed or overlapping is not a color block. Such areas of color show many individual spots with rugged borders and/or have white hair throughout them. Gait: At one time in the history of breeding Dalmatians, he was used as a carriage dog, so gait and stamina are very important. Movement is firm and easy. The front and rear angles are balanced with strong muscles, and well conditioned to create a smooth, effective movement. The drive of the hindquarters is strong, matching the full extension of the forequarters. The back line is kept horizontal. The elbows, fly joints and paws are neither bent inward nor turned outward. Tends toward a single trajectory as running speed increases. Temperament: The Dalmatian has a stable and outgoing temperament, but is very majestic. Shyness is a serious defect.
