A few weeks ago there was a dog attack out the front if the vets and our salon.
The local paper did a great article except for one part.

DALMATIONS are generally a lovely breed, they are loyal, they are active and they are super friendly!

Now yes - two dalmations did attack two other dogs - but this is not normal dalmation behaviour- in the 3 decades I’ve been working with dogs - I’ve never met an aggressive Dalmation- till the other day! they actually are the loveliest dogs ever and one of Taryn’s favourite breeds.
BUT!!!!!
Any dog - ANY BREED OF DOG
Is capable of aggression!

I’ve dealt with highly aggressive (towards human n dog) Golden retrievers! Border Collies are one breed we know are unstable, one of the worst bites I’ve had was a chihuahua, and don’t get me started on spoodles and Daschunds!!

Why this post - because Zali the dalmation is being discriminated - this most beautiful friendly dog is being avoided by her past friends, being ignored and getting lots of negative responses. On the weekend some dogs getting walked nearly got run over as their owner tried to avoid a dalmation being walked!

Please stop being so discriminatory and treat each dog with respect- unless they tell you otherwise - because every breed of dog ( and let’s be realistic- person too) could act aggressively but could also be the loveliest dog ever.

If you are unsure- just ask the owner - but I can say- Zali is an angel who is missing her friends that have started avoiding her 😍
