Get to know Freddie
Dalmatian, 2 years old
My favourite thing about Freddie is...
He is so loving! He loves to cuddle and tuck his head into your neck. He will always sit right next to you/on your knee on the sofa. He is very nosey and loves to people watch out of the window. He is very vocal and makes all sorts of noises.
The biggest challenge with Freddie is...
He is very giddy and playful and sometimes doesn’t always know when to settle down. He loves other dogs of all breeds and always wants to play and sometimes doesn’t listen when recalled.
The most surprising thing about owning a Dalmatian is...
When they get really excited, they smile with their teeth and it’s hilarious! They are so much more loving than I thought.
What I wish I’d known about Dalmatians is...
Male Dalmatians are very fond of female dogs & will run for miles to find them. Neutering and a good recall is needed.
Did you know?
Dodie Smith who originally wrote 101 Dalmatians in 1956 got the idea when a friend saw her out with Pongo (her own dog and the first of nine Dalmatians she would own) and remarked that he would make a lovely coat!
