CollectA's adorable Dalmatian Puppy is instantly recognizable from its black and white spotted coat. Dalmatian puppies are born with white coats, but develop their spots by three weeks. The Dalmatian Puppy figure is realistic in every detail and makes a wonderful addition to any child's collection. The ancestors of this beautiful dog were used to guard the borders of Dalmatia. Because Dalmatians are compatible with horses, they were trained to trot alongside and in front of carriages and were used to guard horse-drawn fire engines. You will still find Dalmatians in many firehouses today. The 1.2''L x 1.2''H Dalmatian Puppy is just one of the many beautifully sculpted pieces in CollectA's Cats and Dogs Collection.
