I have read the article “Is a Dalmatian right for you” and understand that Dalmatians are wonderful pets when they have enough mental and physical exercise. I understand that they are bred to run 25 miles a day and are natural guard dogs.

I understand that the “What To Expect” page on Chalet Dalmatians website is not about what I should expect from a Dalmatian. I understand that it is what I should expect from the breeder and what the breeder expects from their puppy parents. I understand that prior Dalmatians experience (no matter how long) does not make me exempt from reading this page.
