Talk:Dalmatian dog

Tests

 * After your dog attains normal size at the age of 2-3 years one must get their Liver Functioning test (LFT), Kidney Functioning Test( KFT) and Urine test done. After your dog attains normal size at the age of 2-3 years one must get their Liver Functioning test (LFT), Kidney Functioning Test( KFT) and Urine test done in routine, else if things gets worsen revival becomes impossible after age of 6-7 years. Somebody added this to article. Is there such a test. Hafspajen (talk) 12:03, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Picture
This picture is now added to an other article.Hafspajen (talk) 18:27, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

What is the point of your edits on the Dalmatian page? There has always been a photo at this location in Health. Take a look the page from just last week. --Apollo284 (talk)


 * I know, I made the layout. I already added this picture at Dog health, more than this can't do. We have to have catalog like pictures in an encyclopeadia, yes. Hafspajen (talk) 20:15, 18 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I have semi-protected the article to stop the edit war, and left a message on the talk pages of those I saw had been seeking to change the image. Now please discuss the pictures on the merits, with reference to policy and guidelines. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:54, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I say that the dog picture here to right, is not encyclopedic, we can't use that one. It is not up to Wikipedia standards. I let the other Dog Task Force members to decide if the current picture is to stay. Hafspajen (talk) 21:09, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

, ... Hafspajen (talk) 21:13, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

? Chose now 4 or 5 pictures + one for the lead. Hafspajen (talk) 21:28, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I would say this is the best option for the lead image in the info box. Both the images of Apollo File:Apollo386.jpg and File:Apollo284.jpg are not ideal images for use - Wikipedia is not a gallery of pet portraits.   SagaciousPhil   -  Chat  21:44, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Agree on lead image, go on and chose 4 more for the article. Hafspajen (talk) 21:52, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

, are you satisfied with this agreement? We can leave notification at the Dog project too. We can even turn it into a formal Rcf. Hafspajen (talk) 22:24, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with whatever you choose, but the article is semi'd to get the editor(s) who's been inserting the Apollo pics to talk about it, and ideally your explanation to them will cite policy - possibly from the WikiProject? I really hope and expect them to post here again; if they do, please someone respond with a link to the guidelines. Yngvadottir (talk) 03:55, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Ping also our image expert,. Hafspajen (talk) 22:27, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

It was a solution suggested by me. But you just say negative things all the time, and you were calling me silly and pedantic at Yngvadottir's talk page. I WAS THE one who wanted a solution, a compromise - and made a gallery where this picture is included - now you instead of saying:  - thanks that you came up with a compromise, please let us use that gallery, that was very nice of you really that you tried, thank you or something like that - well - you start calling me names. Very diplomatic, indeed. Hafspajen (talk) 20:42, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Size
One or two IP editors want the article to say in the lead that the breed is "medium to large". The wording in the body of the article is "mid-sized"; I agree with the IP editor(s) that it would be good to mention size in the lead, but the two statements should match. Are there any sources that say dalmations are "medium to large"? Do they vary in size that much? If not, "mid-sized" would seem better, and is evidently ok with most editors because it's sat undisturbed in the article. But it would be good to have a source for that, too, to be sure. What do the various kennel clubs class the breed as? Yngvadottir (talk) 22:35, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * This IP is roaming all over the dog articles, adding large, medium and so all over the place with like 8 IPs. Generally dogs are listed by kennel clubs in sizes. And adds time to time as an editnotice fuck accept. Dalmatians are considered medium. Hafspajen (talk) 23:17, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Here is a chart. Another one. Hafspajen (talk) 23:39, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * That's what I figured about sources, hence my actions in the article. Thanks. Yngvadottir (talk) 05:39, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Heh, I checked the Kennel club - and that one say - large. Hafspajen (talk) 10:21, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

When you talk about how deaf dalmatians still make good pets, provided the appropriate training, you could possibly add a link to a website that talks about the different training approaches with canines who are deaf. You could also combine the Dalmatian-Pointer backcross project section with the hyperuricemia section due to the fact that it's a solution to avoiding hyperuricemia when breeding.

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Campine (chicken) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 01:16, 28 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm unsure what, if anything, should be done concerning some recent dog breed article moves, so thought I'd initially drop a note here as this is the most recent article affected. As indicated above, there was a requested move for several articles on September 27 with a consensus to change that was enacted on 5 October. Since then an editor has moved several articles to a different title, for example: Maltese, Papillon, Pomeranian and Dalmatian. Should a new consensus have been reached first or should the moves to the latest version be left? I was not involved in the move discussions and simply wish to stop all the back and forth from one title to another; pinging all those involved in the RM: and the editor making the recent moves:  and  who left an additional comment after the RM was closed. I have also left a note at the WP dogs project although it is not particularly active.  SagaciousPhil  - Chat 10:55, 30 November 2017 (UTC) edited to add re: Dogs Project.
 * I'm unsure where this discussion belongs but I support the move to Dalmation (dog breed), Dalmation dog is misleading. Cavalryman V31 (talk) 16:35, 30 November 2017 (UTC).
 * I support the current page name. In hindsight, SMcCandlish was overzealous in what pages were listed at RM. Some very common dog breeds like Dalmation for example, are better served by being at the current title. Patar knight - chat/contributions 05:17, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The article name "Brittany dog" is especially jarring, since many breed enthusiasts make a special effort to just call it the "Brittany". (It used to be known as the "Brittany Spaniel," but that name has fallen out of favor in recent decades. At least in the US.) Zagal e jo^^^ 05:38, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

I have started a discussion about this topic at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dogs. Cavalryman V31 (talk) 06:55, 2 December 2017 (UTC).

Spelling
Please note that the word is Dalmatian, not Dalmati o n. "The Dalmatian is a breed of medium-sized dog, ... Its roots trace back to Croatia and its historical region of Dalmatia." At the moment there are no such misspellings in the article, but there are plenty of older ones on this Talk page.

Miniature Dalmatian
There is a breeder in Sale City GA that has successfully bred Mini Dalmatians, with increasing popularity in recent years. Working through 30+ generations over 18+ years, they found a way to reduce kidney stones and deafness, and other breed health issues. The smallest full-grown Mini-Dal was about 8 lbs, with the largest closer to 45 pounds. Most of the dogs are in the 20 lb range. There is some bitterness between medium/large Dalmatian owners and those of Minis. While some negative rumors have circulated about cross-breeding with Chihuahua or others, and some exaggerated descriptions of the breeding practice have circulated on social media, I can personally confirm the genetic purity of the three mini dalmatians I currently own, via the Wisdom Panel 4.0 test. I can also confirm the owners' passion and compassion for the breed's success and support of the pups' owners across the world. This version of the breed should be included in the article. Info source: www.miniaturedalmatians.com. My wife and I have an ongoing relationship with the owners, Rebecca and Robb Bacon, and we and other owners provided some consulting during the transfer of ownership, regarding improvements in the practice and environment. I hope this helps. 75.106.174.172 (talk) 15:12, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Use with firefighters
It says that Dalmatians were used to clear a path for firetrucks. This doesn't seem to be backed up by the source? I only mention as this fact is being repeated by the Google assistant when you ask for an interesting fact ("I'm feeling curious" prompt). Sorry if this is not the correct way to submit, I'm not a regular contributor. 101.112.249.156 (talk) 13:44, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
