My Country is homeland of Dalmatians?Which race of dog is from your country?

In the States some Fire Departments use a dlamation as a mascot. It's not common now days but back in the 60's it was very common to see one in the Fire Stations. I own a Beagle and I believe they originated in England. Not positive though. Maybe someone will research it for me? This is my Buster being lazy as usual. HAHAHAHA!! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

No... I did not know that Dalmatians were from Croatia. I had a long term relationship with a girldriend who had a dalmatian. Beautiful dog and very friendly... but not the smartest dog. It is more like a child who never grows up. They also love jumping from great heights and are prone to hurting themselve in doing so.

we have 1 that I know but I dont know the proper english name for it. it is a sheperd dog we call it "sharplaninec" it is named after a mountain Shar Planina. They are very loyal dogs and very useful to the sheperds. They are big and fluffy.

Dalmation is the only dog I ever had. When I was little I fell out of a swing and was knocked out unconscious. When I came to he was standing right over me looking down and whimpering. When I went wading in the creek he would always think I fell in and try to drag me out! He was my best childhood friend. I believe that the oldest breed in North America is the chihuahua, although it is uncertain whether it originated as far north as we live.

Tibetan dog is from my country. I like big size dog. In fact today many European dogs come from Tibentan dog.

American Pit Bull Terrier, American Eskimo Dog, American Bullmastiff, American Staffordshire Terrier, American Water Spaniel, American Black and Tan Coonhound, American Bulldog, American Cocker Spaniel, American Eskimo Dog, American Pug, American Toy Fox Terrier... these have all been developed and bred in this country, although they may not all be native. We had a beautiful Dalmation about 16 years ago... her name was Poppy, and she was deaf. We trained her with hand signals and stomping on the floor, and she was very smart. Unfortunately, she had a serious problem with her liver and we lost her before she was a year old. She was a big sweet, lovable puppy!

Dalmatians are such cute dogs:) MY cousin had one when we were kids and we used to play a lot. I didn't know that they were originally from Croatia, so I just learned something new:) In Portugal there is the Portuguese water dog. There are two kinds, one with shorter hair and the other with longer, but they are really nice and quite intelligent. The Portuguese Water Dog once existed all along Portugal's coast. They were used to herd fish into the nets, retrieve lost tackle or broken nets, act as a courier from ship to ship or shore to shore, retrieving anything and everything that fell overboard, and guarding the catch and boats. Being that they were bred for water work, this breed loves the water and is an excellent retriever. Some believe that the breed traces as far back as 700 BC to the wild Central-Asian steppes, near the Chinese-Russian border. The early people who lived there raised cattle, sheep, camels, or horses. They also raised dogs to herd the animals and some think this is the way they came into what is now Portugal but there are other theories too. This breed is very people-oriented and should be kept as a family pet as he does not do well in kennel life.
