Miniature Dalmation
I recently got a puppy and was told that the mother was a Jack Russell
Terrier and the father is a Miniature Dalmation. I have scoured the web for info on mini dalmations, but can't find anything. Does anybody out there have any info on this breed? I was told by the vet that it is a legit breed, but not a recognized breed. If anyone has any info, please send it along...better yet, please send any web sites that have info in this breed. Thanks! Rob Feel free to email me: |

@posting.google.com: If anyone has any info, please send it along...better yet, please send any web sites that have info in this breed. Thanks! Nope. I highly doubt there is anything like a miniature dalmation. If there is, it is that someone has been purposely breeding undersized dalmations to each other in order to get smaller ones. To try to fill a niche market, so to speak. Here is the AKC listing on dalmations: http://www.akc.org/breeds/recbreeds/dalmati.cfm and here is the AKC breed listing page for breeds that start with M: http://www.akc.org/breeds/recbreeds/breeds_m.cfm As you can see, there are a number of miniatures, but no dalmations in there.

All it proves is that there is someone out there who is breeding small dalmations to small dalmations in an attempt to create teeny tiny dalmations. Marcel |

I did find this site: http://www.miniaturedalmatians.com/ but these look nothing like a Jack cross. I would be getting your dog into flyball as fast as you can. Good Luck! HeatherM |

I was curious so I went to Ask Jeves and found this web site. It isn't much but it proves that it is a breed. http://www.miniaturedalmatians.com/ No, it doesn't do that. It shows someone is breeding dogs and calling them miniature dalmatians. But there is no indication that these dogs will breed true, nor that there is any standard to breed toward. This site is particularly yucky in the description of the breeding program. It sounds very much like to dogs are treated as livestock rather than companion animals. And boy, talk about over priced! At least if what they are breeding is *healthy.* Many actual purebreds are in that price range precisely because they are NOT healthy. And thus it takes quite a bit to get a healthy litter on the ground and to the ready to rehome stage. Virtually all of the high priced purebreds are high priced because of medical problems, small litters and similar impediments. -- Diane Blackman http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplay.com/Shop/ |

Also, supply and demand. I agree with you on that Dalmation site. It seemed a bit off track. American Breeding Club? Anyway..just my two cents... toodles HeatherM |

Definitely this is not a "breed". It's undersize Dals with all their
inherent medical and behavioral problems.... probably magnified because of a small gene pool selected for abnormally small size. This guy is just trying to get rich quick. Let's see... bladder stones (uroliths), deafness... hip dysplasia.... hyperactivity... low training potential. Take what you have been told with a grain of salt. Dad was possibly just a small Dal.
