10. Dalmatian

 

We all know that these adorable pups became extremely popular after the movie 101 Dalmatians. But other than their animated depiction, how can you know what these dogs are really like? Here is what you need to know about this adorable spotted puppy. Dalmatians are extremely beautiful and energetic. However, they are quite a bit of work.

This kind of cute dog breed is relatively easygoing, active, and is not aggressive, so there is no problem having them around children. However, Dalmatians tend to be shy with strangers, so it takes some time for them to warm up to guests. Despite seeming independent, these dogs love to be part of a pack. So make sure you make them feel like part of the family. If you leave them alone for too many hours, they can develop separation anxiety. 

One interesting thing to know about Dalmatians is that Dalmatian puppies are not born with spots. So if your Dalmatian ever has babies, don’t panic. Their first spots appear when they are about two weeks old. So what’s cute, great for a family, and spotted? Dalmatians!
