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)
Fylbecatulous, Sagaciousphil ... Hafspajen ( talk) 21:13, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
Crisco 1492 ? Chose now 4 or 5 pictures + one for the lead. Hafspajen ( talk) 21:28, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
Yngvadottir, 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)
Ping also our image expert, Crisco 1492 . Hafspajen ( talk) 22:27, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
Put a S, C and F on each five you chose. Hafspajen ( talk) 21:41, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
So, that makes these pictures to go into the article. It is good that there are all sorts of brown and black spotted varieties. Hafspajen ( talk) 05:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
Now the question is, shall we put the File:Apollo386.jpg eventually in a gallery at the end of the page. It is not a bad picture, if compared with the other one, it could make it eventually in a gallery - if we take like some and chuck it in into a small gallery at the end. Just to be nice. Leave it to you. Hafspajen ( talk) 05:54, 19 September 2014 (UTC) As for the lead image - well, maybe Binka IS a bit better, one can see all four leggs, but Prunella is good too. Hafspajen ( talk) 05:58, 19 September 2014 (UTC) For the layout:
ALT 4 https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Dalmatian_(dog)&diff=626180320&oldid=626180045 I think ALT 3 or 4 could work too. Lead can be Prunella or Binka, you chose. Hafspajen ( talk) 06:53, 19 September 2014 (UTC) Fylbecatulous, Sagaciousphil ...? Hafspajen ( talk) 06:56, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
Okay, so I wouldn't get confused when I chose the correct ALT, I pulled out the one to be left out. I agree Prunella makes the finer lead image for the good reasons stated by Sagasciousphil. I too happily yield to better knowledge. I also like quite well Crisco's choice of 'Dalmatiner_2' standing in the bullrushes. So ALT 2 is the edit I saved. I think we now have a fine arrray of healthy and well representative dalmations. Even a blue-eyed one. Thanks. Fylbecatulous talk 12:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
..... You gave me no time to respond or participate and you essentially just rationalize proprietary feelings over the page instead of any rational decisions. "...in my opinion, the images of Apollo do not demonstrate any specific point about the breed so are not relevant..." You could make that point about any photograph on this page. The consensus is just the same decision by the people who had proprietary feelings over the page in the first place. You didn't improve the page you just had a meeting to discourage casual users from ever participating. apollo284 ( talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.191.198.238 ( talk) 15:43, 19 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)
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)
Here is a chart. Another one. Hafspajen ( talk) 23:39, 11 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.

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 have started a discussion about this topic at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dogs#Domestic animal breed page names. Cavalryman V31 ( talk) 06:55, 2 December 2017 (UTC).
Please note that the word is Dalmatian, not Dalmation. "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.

This is an Intresting thing-— Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.123.223.77 ( talk) 23:40, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
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)
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)
