Dalmatian’s may be prone to urinary tract crystals. Blue is currently on a preventative low-purine Lamb & Rice diet.

Blue is a shy boy but very affectionate with those he knows and trusts.
He is not particularly play driven but enjoys opportunities to go on walks and hang out with his people.
He is a bit wary of strangers but warms up to them once he realizes they aren’t a threat.
Loud noises or fast movements may make him nervous and may cause him to shy away from people or situations.
He can be a bit dominant with certain dogs, especially unaltered males.
Blue is currently attending an obedience class and showing some real progress.
He may be a bit vocal when he meets unfamiliar people or dogs but usually settles when told.

A fenced yard is a must as Blue’s interest in checking out the neighbourhood may cause him to stray.
Experience with large breed dogs would be considered an asset.
Blue has a moderate energy level. He would benefit from daily walks and, typical to his breed, needs exercise and other outlets to keep his mind and body active.
Not tested with cats but doesn’t seem to demonstrate any prey drive.
Does not seem to demonstrate any food or possession guarding issues, he would likely be good with children.
Could most likely live with another dog that is tolerant of Blue’s energy level and, at times, dominant personality.
It would be great if Blue’s new owners were able to commit to a training schedule to further develop his social skills, manners and basic commands.
