The humor of naming a deaf dog Echo is not lost on me.
Not sure if it's meant to be ironic because there is a Marvel character named Echo who is deaf so I think it could be related. Don't know how old the dog is but the character has been around in the comics since the end of the 90ies.
What?
I don't get it.
@@ShainAndrewsAn echo is a sound. What's not to get?
@@ShainAndrews the dog can't hear an echo...
I had a deaf dalmatian as a kid. He knew doggy sign language. He was a very good boy.
Miss you, Primus.
A Lab/Neuphie we adopted was NOT deaf or blind, but, just out of control. I used, what I call, "DSL", to get him to focus on me when I was working with him. "DSL" was my way of using Doggy Sign Language. It was to get us to connect with each other. It worked!
Lol Primus is such a great name for a dog
Are you,by chance,a fan of Transformers? I'm just curious.
My favorite breed named after my favorite band 😭
What a great name for a great dog!
He is soooo sweet! My family had two dalmatians as I was growing up. Yes, they were Pongo and Perdy. Perdy was fully deaf with a coat of mostly white and a few spots. She was highly athletic, running up to 3 miles a day, and was our dog mom, cuddling my siblings and I when we were sick. Dad trained her with sign language and she lived to the age of 14. Pongo was our dog playmate, though less athletic. He was heavily overweight and had intestinal and heart problems when rescued, but we got him down to a healthier weight. He was a few years younger than Perdy and also lived to 13-14. I miss them dearly and have their picture on my mousepad.
Awhh 101 dalmatian reference!
@@HeyItsZee_ Indeed! My little brother actually named Pongo because of that movie. His old name was Reggie, for Reggie White a football player I think. My little brother was something like 3 years old, saw the dog and I remember my mom saying he said something along the lines of, "It's Pongo! His name is Pongo and he is my dog and I love him!"
I would've named them the exact same thing. Or maybe one of the puppies names!
We had two wonderful Dalmatian’s whom we called Bill & Ben after the UK children’s programme. Bill was more white with less spots ( lived until 10) but totally deaf and his brother was Ben who was the image of this dog, and we had until he was 14. We still miss them and still find those little white hairs embedded everywhere. Lovely unforgettable dogs.
I know its been awhile already, but for sorry for your loss. I bet they were amazing babies ;a;
Echo is a good boy. Poor pup was a bit scared but conducted himself like gentleman, even offering kisses. He is so cute.
It’s both refreshing and interesting to hear how the work of reputable breeders contributes to keeping a breed healthy. You hear so often how you shouldn’t get X breed because it supports poor genetics, but almost never hear how good breeders work hard - and successfully - to mitigate that.
"ADOPT OR SHOP RESPONSIBLY!!"
Seriously, ethical breeders are absolutely crucial and do not get nearly enough credit.
@@simplystreeptacularYou can’t ethically breed animals, especially when 30% of a specific breed is born deaf.
@@simplystreeptacular Thank you for saying that. I've really developed a chip on my shoulder for people who shout "ADOPT, DON'T SHOP!", as while adopting is admirable, it's most definitely not without its cons. Adopting a rescue also means adopting that animal's history, be it positive or negative, and that will show through either their health or behavior or both. Getting an animal through a (responsible) breeder not only usually means a blank slate, but also helps to support the development of healthier varieties.
Regardless of where you get your animal, though, make sure it is one that you, your family, and your environment can safely and healthily handle. By doing this, you will ensure that your new family member will not have to worry about needing a second (or, heaven forbid, a third) chance.
@@newbiegamelover4767 I have that same chip! If that's what you want to do, that's great, but it's the whole "holier than thou" attitude that if you don't want to adopt, then you're a horrible person.
Pitbull and lab mixes aren't for everyone (which is mostly what's available in my area) and so many "rescues" gatekeep their dogs so much it's almost impossible for people to qualify for one. I think it's one of the reasons so many people are getting scammed by "breeders" online, because people can't find or get the kind of dog they're looking for (and lack the knowledge of how to spot scammers) so they fall for facebook posts and websites that on the surface look legit.
One of many positives about breeders of good ethic is they contribute to canine health research, along with being a safety net for your dog should anything happen to you, they never see the inside of a shelter. Those are the breeders that deserve supporting.
My dad shared many fond memories of Butch, the Dalmation he had as a teenager. He told me about the day he came home from the army when WWII finally ended. Wanting to surprise his parents, he took a taxi from the train station and walked into the house. He knew they were home because the car was in the driveway, but neither of them was on the 1st floor. This didn't surprise him because Grandpa had an office in the basement. So, still dressed in uniform, he opened the door to the basement. Butch started up the stairs barking furiously and got about halfway up when Dad said, 'Hey, Butch!' That dog came up the stairs in one amazing leap and straight into his arms.
Nice story.
You can see from his build- long and lean with a somewhat deep chest- that he’s going to run long and hard. And you can tell that his people know exactly what to do for him. He’s absolutely stunning and very well behaved. ❤❤❤
They were bred to be horse drawn coach dogs.
He's also a healthy weight, which is impressive. I always appreciate a lean, weight-maintained dog. Shows the owner is meeting both his exercise and food needs properly.
My parents breed Dalmatians BEFORE 101 Dalmatians and they were amazing dogs and the best family pets ❤ we had a champion girl who won every show she was in
The cartoon came out in the '60s didn't it?
@@jr2904 what's your point? OP could be 75 years old for all you know lol.
@@jr2904 The cartoon yeah, but the novel came out in 1956.
@@jr2904 the movie that really made them super popular with Glen Close came out in 1996, then 102 Dalmatian’s came out in 2000
Echo is, indeed, excellent! ❤
The original movie came out when I was 5 (1961) and, of course, I longed for a Dalmatian. Fast forward to 1981 and I was 25, newly married and someone in my parents' neighborhood had puppies! I was so excited as some of what we want at 5 just sticks with us! 😂
My husband was still in the "whatever you want phase" and was ready to rush over a pick a puppy. But I'd had dogs all my life and refused to go look until I'd researched. I quickly discovered a Dalmatian wasn't the best choice for us - or should I say that we weren't the best choice for a Dalmatian.
We both worked with medium commute time (40-45 minutes each way) which meant left alone in a one bedroom apartment all day. Not ideal for a high energy dog. I envisioned destruction and lots of noise complaints from barking. While my husband was a runner, my idea of exhausting exercise was anything more than a leisurely walk of half a mile. And knowing we were planning to start a family soon, there were a few temperament issues, too.
Sadly, I said no and saved a beautiful puppy from a life of frustration as a young dog. It's just bad timing.
It makes me happy that you made a responsible choice for all involved!! 😊
even if u can't commit to a dog at this point , maybe u can consider fostering or volunteering with a rescue! ❤
Thank you for your well thought out decision. I'm excited for when the time is right for you to get your puppy!!
Ha!! Your storytelling is very entertaining.❤
Good on you for thinking not only for yourself but also for the doggo. ❤
@@MessagesFromAurora
Thank you! I was raised with dogs and understood the importance of knowing that dog breeds vary in temperament and exercise, grooming, etc requirements. I think Vanessa does a great job of helping to educate in that respect.
This was in 1981 - I've had several dogs since then, mostly dachshunds, and my pic is my current friend. And he will be my last.
What a cute Dalmatian :)
Very muched agreed.
"...be sure to meet the breed's/dog's requirements" That should be on massive posters!
Echo is absolutely beautiful!!!😍😍😍 Shoutout to the responsible & loving owners!!!💖
I grew up with a Dalmatian. While she wasn’t def she had one brown and one blue eye. She was very hyper but luckily she had a huge yard to run around in.
I grew up with a similar dalmatian. She wasn't deaf. She was a great couch potato, she never wanted to be outside when it was rainy, cold or any other not perfect weather. She was happy to curl up beside the radiator.
Love your channel. My husband was born on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia, and greets every Dalmatian (dog) in Croatian. Starts quite the conversation with the owners.
I had a female dalmatian called Scilla when I was a child. It has been 15 years since she died. She was the most intelligent, most beautiful and well mannered dog in the world. To this day I miss her company.
As a child I grew up in Dalmatia in Croatia, near Split, with a dalmatian named Fritz. Fritz was a hunting dog, my uncle used to hunt quails. Fun fact the only person Fritz was protective of was me. Best dog ever
Hello from Croatia!
We don’t see Dalmatians as often as we used to so I’m happy to see they are still a loved breed over the pond 😊😊
I love your channel for so many reasons - adorable animals, your great narration/voice, grooming skill leading to wonderful "afters." But the best part is your educational information. Explaining the positives and negatives of breeds, as well as some historical info and some Jeopardy trivia... it's a wonderful service to our animal friends. Thank you.
Add to that the viewers comments, such as yours, which are very educational, entertaining and informative.
Echo has done very well for his 1st grooming session. He may not have good hearing but Echo's other senses made him able to understand what environment he is in. You have to give credit to his owner for training him to do very well.
I used to ride with a couple who owned a Dalmatian. They would let him follow the horses as they went around the jump course. The horse would jump and the Dalmatian would be right behind leaping over. He loved it. Their endurance is incredible.
When I was a toddler my dad picked up a stray Dalmatian off the side of the road, she was clearly abandoned since he could see her ribs but her belly was HUGE so we took her to the vet. A short while later she gave birth to 10 puppies! Of course we named her Perdy and her puppies is how I met my best friend. I’ll never forget that beautiful dog!
Dalmatians are sooo cute... About 20 years ago, my white (not hearing impaired) and very fluffy Husky-German-Shepherd-mix, who knew that he was VERY handsome, decided one night to escape our property and go on a stroll in the little village we were living by that time. He wasn't neutered yet (it was two weeks before the procedure was scheduled) and he managed to convince a beautiful Dalmatian-lady to have a litle fun... Weeeeell, when the puppies were born (a litter of six), they looked mostly like their mother, but when they grew up, they started to get a fluffy coat like their dad with the Dalmatian-dots! It was the cutest thing ever! :)
@franketa76 Cheers for this 😄 the story of your boy and his umm...love ......adventure has me grinning ear to ear.
@@AussieBenita He was grinning ear to ear too, after we brought him home in the morning :) Have a beautiful day! 💕💕
My neighbor has a German Shepherd / Dalmatian mix. He's a gorgeous, sweet dog.
I had a Dalmatian in the 90s and met other people with Dalmatians and shared stories. The un-neutered males tend to be more high strung and active, but overall they are a great breed. They are typically very sweet dogs who make great companions. They just need a chance to run or roam regularly. And they need care to their diet.
My female loved to chase squirrels and rabbits. They can be shockingly quick and strong. My dad could not hold her down when I needed to replace the bandage on her wounded foot. She spun out of his grip so quickly we just kind of stood there stunned. So yes, they are very athletic. But still, at home they will just be your shadow. Very sweet companions.
My Dal knew she was beautiful and like the attention from kids all over the neighborhood. She'd single out the one who was not paying attention to her and go make him pet her :D
I have a friend who was a teamster for the A-B Clydesdale hitch. The Dal on the team was retired when he reached ten. My friend adopted Doc, and for three years whenever my friend travelled with his wife, I took care of Doc for three years. Doc enjoyed his walks in the park, which offers carriage rides. After meeting the resident Clyde for the first time, Doc showed no further interest in him. He was retired!
Echo is such a cutie! Lickin' the water off his body, he's helping. 😍 He was so brave, such a good boy!
Each of your videos is like breathing fresh air after a long walk. Thank you for your unique atmosphere! 😊
My daughter drove from Virginia to Kansas to pick up her current Dal. She has had 5 and worked with Dalmation Rescue of Southwest VA. She set up a fundraiser that was based on a motorcycle poker run. The twist was the route ran along the river and boats and kayaks were welcome too. She called it Bikes and Boats for Spotted Coats. Sadly Dal Rescue SWVa. Is no more, but she never lost her love for the breed. Awesome dogs. And I love that you talked to Echo even if he couldn't hear you.
I was about to ask where that charity was located because weirdly enough I am from SWVA too. There's a motorcycle trail called Back of the Dragon that is sometimes used for charity rides such as the Bikers Against Child Abuse ride.
When Anheuser Busch owned Sea World, there were always two Dalmatian pups hanging out in the Clydesdale Stables. They would always be named after AB products, for example, Bud and Ice.
Echo's dearness echoes loud and clear ❤❤❤
I always love seeing dogs that are in great shape like Echo here.
Fun, horrific, story for Dalmatians and bad temperament/ training. When I was in grade school one of my classmates had a birthday party that the whole class was invited to. Everyone was having a good time until the screaming started when birthday boy's Dalmatian started to maul the face one of the other kids. So you had roughly 20 kids now traumatized from seeing a dog and a kid covered in blood. The dog wasn't put down, just rehomed to hopefully someone better equipped to train the dog. The kid whom was bitten fortunately only needed stitches round his lip, the rest of the face was only minor cuts and by high school you could barely even see the scars anymore.
Tldr, train your dogs, folks.
And research the breeds that are best for you and your lifestyle!
The Dalmation Backcross Project is pretty cool to read about! It was started by a geneticist in the 70s for the purpose of breeding out the gene that causes hyperuricosuria in dalmatians, ultimately leading to healthier dogs.
We had a Dalmatian who was a retired Army officer when I was growing up. (Lt. Colonel Holly Popcorn) One of the absolute best animals in the world! Alert, smart, high energy and highly protective of her human children. Would love another one day
Awesome!
What a beautiful dog
When I was about 5 or 6, my neighbor's dalmatian got loose and ripped me off a tire swing and dragged me about 20 yards while biting me and destroying my Slimer Ghost Busters sweat pants. Suffice to say, not a huge fan of this breed. Still miss those pants.
Sounds like your neighbor was a bad dog owner too
Your reserve is completly understandable. Took me a few years to be confortable with German Sheppard after the neighbourg's one almost ate my dog while i walked him.
Dalmatians sadly suffer from the Disney movie, people not understanding that this is not a begginer friendly breed at all. They require firm and experienced trainers, wich often is not the case and result in stories like yours :/
My little cousins love watching your channel and will bombard my aunt asking if they can get some of the dogs they see here.
hopefully they heads her words and do the research.
We do and they are still learning. They are the ones who look up everything to prove they can have the pet. I help them here and there and my aunt can't say anything XD
How sweet. Even though he couldn't hear you, Vanessa, you kept talking to him and loving him. The action and calming surroundings aided in keeping him as calm as possible. Thank you for always being so awesome to the animals, and us.
The absolute Goodest Boy! What a sweetheart! Thank you for explaining the rise and fall of this breed’s popularity, as well as the breed’s genetic predispositions and requirements! You’re the best Vanessa!
I just ordered the Fluff Off Shampoo/Conditioner and can’t wait to try it on my English Labs!
Cool Cumber for a cool-doggo. What a sweetie!
I had a rescue-Dal. She ran across miles of mountains having escaped a puppy mill before being lured in with a pan of water. I named her Millie, which she loved. Out of about five dogs at the time, Millie was my velcro dog. I still miss her and it has been nearly 10 years. 🐶😇💞
Greetings from Cork, Ireland 💚 ☘️ 🇮🇪 absolutely loooooooove ur channels 🥰 I sometimes binge watch trying to catch up with all the videos I missed before subscribing 😁😅as we share the passion for dogs, I also noticed u like the colour purple like myself 😃💜
I'm a dog trainer and I trained a deaf Dalmatian 3 years ago. He is now an emotional support dog and is doing fantastic.
Echo is handsome 🖤🤍 And it’s perfectly normal so talk to deaf dogs. I do it to my deaf Dalmatians all the time, I have a hearing and non hearing (both ears), doing sign with both. 🔇🐶🤘 🤟❤️
I grew up with a Dalmatian called Daisy, we lost her last year to old age, she was 13 and truly the most loveable girl ever!! Never barked, ate everything and cuddled at any given moment. She would tremble when you looked at her and as soon as you looked away she would stop, purely just for attention and snuggles! But she won, she got a cuddle right away ❤
She had similar spots to Echo, and you would find a new pattern or shape on her so often! She had so many little hearts on her coat.
My aunt had a Dalmatian when I was growing up called Blade. He spent every day with her, working at the horse paddocks together. I'll forever miss that happy chap, so full of energy and life ❤️ right up until the end. Miss you Blade!
We had one when I was in high school, her name was Siren. She was smart, she knew what time was (when each of came home from school or work) and would wait at the window for each of us. When training she knew and it would take 3 of us to get her in the van.
She died from liver failure. Turned out she was eating the grapes off the vine in the backyard. For whatever reason we all had "duh" moment that year and never thought about it cause she hadn't bothered with part of the garden before. She had 7 great years.
So precious! Easily the easiest groom you have done in awhile. It seems that the loud noises are what is most scary to dogs. I remember when I was home alone with my mom's dog. I stayed in my bedroom, as I had a sitting area as well. This was upstairs and a huge storm was outside. We were all fine and dandy, but when I went to go downstairs I saw Honey at the top of the stairs. I let her in and she ran under my bed. When I was downstairs I grabbed her bed and threw it under the bed. I heard her crawl into the bed. She was quite old by this time and her mom was on a trip. She slept under the bed the rest of the night.
I always enjoy how you give breed information. You are usually very accurate too.
Also really love the way you work with dogs weather it be the behavior problems or the coat issues. And how you explain so much to average pet person.
I have been a groomer for 27 years, while breeding dogs that we do many things with. You give amazing knowledge to all the areas of my businesses. Thank you
I always appreciate the education you give us in each video. I learn something new/am reminded every time.
He is an excellent Echo, so sweet natured and beautiful. 💚💚
My grandmother had a Dalmation back in the 60's and early 70's, she was an absolute beauty with such a good temperament and a good guard dog.
My family got a Dalmatian when I as a kid. Tache was a well loved family member.♥
I was brought back to Dogs 101 and all the other Animal Planet shows that love advocating for these lovable beings. Thank you for giving us such bingeable content and educating us
Our first Dalmatian was abandoned by her previous owner and was one of the best dogs we ever had. They’re so beautiful, always unique, and super sweet and active!
Echo is such a sweetheart!! I absolutely LOVE your channel, Vanessa!! I binge watch your videos!!
What a beautiful, sweet dog. Thank you for always accurately informing folks about what a dog breed needs to suit their personalities. It is important!
Awh Echo . Trembling , bless. He has such an endearing face
My first childhood dog was a Dalmatian! He grew up with me, such sweet and beautiful dogs 🫶
Love how they named a deaf dog Echo. He sure is a sweet dog, very funny watching him licking the water off his body while getting a bath.♥️🐾🤩
That spin to show off at the end was perfect! Echo was happy!
I appreciate the education to provide information about the different dog breeds and about ethical dog breeders.
Thank you!
He is just precious ❤ what an amazing dog. I love him, just the way he is. Great job on him, Vanessa ❤
I had no idea that Dalmatians had hearing issues. That's why I love that you give breed information while you groom.
I guess that can be for ANY pure breed. Over-Breeding?
I had a Dal for 14 splendid years. Her name was Princess Marie and she was the best dog I’ve ever owned. Princess had perfect selective hearing 😂. She was a parvo survivor and my best friend. She had excellent maternal instincts and even nursed a stray kitten. When I became a mom she became very possessive of my baby. Her favorite place was right by the baby and would not let strangers near him. She was my son’s first friend and as a teenager he still talks lovingly about her. When he was a toddler he picked out a Dalmatian (cow) costume and wore it for years. He wanted to look just like his dog. Man I felt like a piece of my soul was ripped out that Mother’s Day when she passed.
Beautiful dog and super sweet! Had no idea Dalmations suffer from deafness. I always learn so much from you, Vanessa. Thanks for the education. ☺
He’s shedding his Dalmatian glitter is everywhere ❤
Love all the new filming angles such as your foot on the pedal at the beginning. You're really stepping your game up Cinematically.... Love love love you and everything you're doing!
I love your channel and your energy ❤ your videos have such a soothing effect on me 🧡🙏
What a beauty of a pupper! I wish I had room and the energy for a dog. Eventually, I think I'll get an elderly dog and give it a happy forever home in its golden years but for now we have a cat that acts like a dog. I actually taught him to sit for treats and my husband said that I'm being mean and that he's not a dog so he can't learn that trick...then I showed him that he was wrong. Our cat does, indeed, know how to sit. His booty never touches the floor but he never sits on the floor completely anyway because its too cold. He only sits completely on the floor where we have a rug and where the vent of the heater is running under the floor. Smart cat.
Good family friends of ours had a Dalmation in the 1960's.
His name was Wolly Segap, yellow pages spelled backwards.
They had him for about 10 years.
The husband passed away and two days later the dog ran away never to be found.
As a small child I was afraid of the tail, like a whip.
But he was so fun to run around in the yard with.
He would run forever.
Echo is such a handsome boy!!
Several years ago, some friends of ours had a Dalmatian. She was beautiful and quite the live wire!
My brother got a beautiful Dalmatian when we were going into middle school, and she was a great family dog, but was wary around strangers. We could not tire her out, she had far more energy and endurance than we had, and she was a lot of fun.
What a gorgeous dog! Echo was so good.
Such a beautiful breath of fresh air! haven't seen a dalmation in real life for what seems to be forever...
This is so cute. I love how you interact with the dogs. Echo is a sweetheart.
Had multiple dalmatians in the 70's and 80's. Very high strung,never had hearing issues. Love the breed.
My small New England town always had a Dalmatian at the fire station. He always rode shotgun on one of the fire trucks whenever there was a parade, and we just loved seeing him when we were kids.
I'm a geneticist who worked for a while studying Hyperuricosuria (abbreviated as HUU). Dalmatians are homozygous for the gene (with the exception of outcrossed "LUA/Low Uric Acid" Dalmatians), but not every Dalmatian shows signs. You cannot predict if a puppy will show signs by parentage unless one of the parents is homozygous or heterozygous for the non-HUU gene (meaning they are a LUA Dal), in which case genetic testing can actually show the presence of the non-HUU gene (which is dominant). Since HUU is recessive, it can easily be bred out with patience using outcrossing. I know Australia has a rather dedicated breeder group dedicated to doing just this: preserving the breed by outcrossing, and only sending forward pups for breeding that have a copy of the dominant unaffected trait. These Dalmatians look virtually identical to purebreds, but don't have HUU. Truly awesome of them.
What a good boy, and so cute. He seemed pretty happy, but freaked out at around 1.56. He seemed really panicked, but calmed down fast. His owners have done a great job, but deafness in a high energy breed that really needs exercise and discipline must be hard to deal with. Great that he has a healthy sister at home - she must be a real comfort to him.
I absolute love all in the little bits of insight pertaining to each dog, their story, their breed, etc. Thanks!
My family had a rescued dalmatian mix for 16 years, she was a delightful quirky girl.
What a sweetheart ❤ i feel so bad for shaky scared pups that dont understand whats going on.
Thank you for recognizing that not all breeders are bad people. Yes, there are some out there that are unethical deadbeats. But the ultimate goal of ethical and responsible breeders is to decrease health issues like the ones you mentioned in the video and to ensure happy and healthy puppies with wonderful temperaments.
My neighbors have a Dalmatian named Champion. I have seen the wife walk Champion. I have seen the husband biking while Champion is running along side him. Champion seems happier when he is running rather than walking. He is truly a beautiful dog with a great temperament. 🐶❤️🐶
Vet tech here! Thank you so much for educating your audience on this breed :) I got my own little dal less than a month ago. Her breeder is LOVELY and breeds strictly BAER-tested (hearing test) and LUA (low uric acid) puppies. I'm so happy to see a well-tempered example of the breed on your channel 😊❤
I love the way you are with the dogs, your so sweet. I also love the nail polish rainbows.
I love how much I learn on your channel! I never knew so many Dalmatians had hearing problems. Echo is a beautiful dog!
I had the most amazing deaf Dalmatians who was trained to be a therapy dog. We visited the Indiana School for the Deaf and the kids LOVED the fact that he knew ASL. A few years later I had a stroke and we sent Buster to school to become my service dog. He was an AMAZING service dog. Sadly, I lost him to evil cancer at only 9 1/2 years old. My heart has never recovered. I now have a new Dalmatian service dog from the same service dog school. He is a great balance and mobility dog and has the stamina to go anywhere anytime. But I have to say, I wish he was also deaf. I miss those private sign-language conversations and also how 100% focused Buster was because he wasn’t distracted by anything. Deafies rock! ❤
We had a Dalmatian/Lab mix growing up, named Shakespeare. He was a wild puppy, but always affectionate and never destructive. As he got older he calmed down tremendously, such a good boy.
That must have been a BEAUTIFUL dog. Perfect Name, too.
Aw, poor little baby was shaking so bad. What a cute doggy.
I used to have a gorgeous dalmatian, their agility is unmatched even in their senior years. He was a bit of an odd ball, being the runt, but still possessed all of the superb physical traits and then some. Lived all the way up until 15 despite the breed being known to frequently only last between 10-13. As I mentioned, being the runt of his litter, this was furthermore impressive. Seeing echo refreshed my memory on how gorgeous and goofy their pretty little faces and spotty coats are. Thank you for making me truly smile Vanessa, you indirectly gave me many happy memories of my own dog from the past
the way he gave a lil twirl at the end got me melting
I have only ever known one Dalmatian, but he was the sweetest dog. His owner had two nieces who would put dresses on him and have tea parties with him and he adored them.
Very informative. Thank you. I love to learn about different breeds on this channel.
I enjoyed your monologue about dalmatian
Echo is truly a majestic gentleman. The only dog that ever bit me on my arm was my besties Dalmations. Excellent police K9s and rescuers. However I don't trust them. This little gentleman changed me today. Love this and the info really helped me understand them more. Thank you from Hamilton, ON, 🇨🇦
So great to hear that the rate of deafness is disappearing. Good vid!
I have a female schnauzer, and she is so calm and good, my daughter found her in a sonic parking lot over 10 years ago, and it was supposed to be temporary until we found the owner, no one claimed her so we have her.
No regrets, we love her so much!!
My cousin's dalmatian was just awesome. Her name was Roxanne. She absolutely loved kids, and didn't fair well with adults unless she knew them for a long time.
Several years ago, a friend and her husband adopted a dog they named Faust. He was Dalmatian/Pittie: muscular, spotted, with that big Pitbull head. An absolute and total sweetheart.
Dalmatians can be FANTASTIC pets if trained properly. I had one growing up.
That’s so cute that you let him choose his cologne! He’s adorable! 🐶❤
