Description
The Dalmation Breed
We are all familiar with this spotted dog, the Dalmatian breed, once so useful as a carriage dog. Today the breed remains popular and has many followers in the show world and as a general house dog. The book The Dalmatian (A Handbook), by Clifford L.B. Hubbard, is well-illustrated with top-class winners, including the Supreme Champion at Crufts.
Although the precise origins of the Dalmatian breed are obscure, there is no doubt that it has a long history dating back to the sixteenth Century or earlier. The author covers this history as well as modern-day management.
In the nineteenth Century, they accompanied the carriages of the gentry and became known as the Coach Dogs. They are agile, loyal, and affectionate dogs that fit well with the family environment. Since the first edition, the breed has won Best in Show at Crufts, which obviously raises its prestige as a show dog. Mrs. E.J. Woddyatt was the owner of the dog CH Fanhill Faune. Moreover, recently Kennel Club registrations have exceeded 900.
Many photographs supplement the text, and in a characteristic manner, Mr. Clifford L.B. Hubbard has researched the breed’s background. The book can be recommended to all interested in the Dalmatian breed.
