All about Dalmatian Coats
Traditional Black and White
Dalmatians are most famously known for their iconic coat of white with black or liver spots, but there are some variations within the breed. The standard coat is a glossy white base covered with evenly distributed black spots, which can vary in size and shape.
Liver Coated Dalmatian
A liver-spotted Dalmatian is a variation of the breed characterized by its striking white coat with rich, reddish-brown spots, commonly referred to as "liver" spots. Despite the difference in coloration, liver-spotted Dalmatians share the same energetic, playful, and loyal temperament as their black-spotted counterparts. Whether black or liver, all Dalmatians are known for their striking appearance and lively personalities, making them beloved companions.
Lemon Coated Dalmatian
A lemon-spotted Dalmatian is a variation of the breed characterized by its distinctive coat, which features a white base with light yellow or pale tan spots. Lemon spots give these Dalmatians a unique and eye-catching appearance. Despite their rarity, lemon-spotted Dalmatians share the same energetic and loyal temperament as other Dalmatians. It's important to note that while this coloration is recognized by some breed standards, it may not be as widely accepted in dog shows as the classic black and liver variations.
