A dog with a white and black spotted coat, there is also the liver spotted dalmation aswell. They are generally a good natured and affectionate dog, they take alot of energy to care for epecially in their younger years as they can be very hyperactive and energetic.

11-15 years would be about the average life expectancy of a dalmation, they are great loving pets to have, but the owner should have enough spare time to care for it as they are very energetic dogs that should be exercised everyday and not just let into the back garden like so many lazy people with dogs seem to do.
I had a dalmation that lived to 13 years, and I miss him to bits.
