Black Labrador Cross Dalmatian - Breed Profile

Jet

THE BREED:
Excellent with children and adults alike. Very tolerant and features the best of each breed. Very loyal but can be a little jealous. Can run all day and loves the outdoors.

Face and head shape like a black Dalmatian but definitely the appetite of a Lab!

THE DOG:
Jet came to us nearly two years ago as a five/six year old rescue from Dogs Trust. He had been found as a young stray and re-homed by DT Darlington where he stayed for 2 years. He was returned to DT and then adopted by someone for 1 week before being returned. He was then adopted again for 6 days before being returned to Dogs Trust. We became his fifth owners in October 2008 and we wouldn't dream of parting with him.

Each night he looks in on each of our children and makes sure they are both settled. He then lies on the landing until we go to sleep before taking himself off downstairs to his own bed. Such a caring lad.

Lab Cross Dalmation
by: Jet's Dad.

I would agree, sensible discipline and regular excercise is a major part. Puppies, like children are always trying to push their boundaries. I find noise aversion an effective way of keeping any dog in check. A plastic drink bottle with small stones, shaken when the boundaries are pushed will work wonders, if used at the right time. But stick with it, they are so worth it.

I've been watching Crufts this week and I feel sorry for these people with high maintenance pure breeds. Still, their decision I suppose. Give me a happy, healthy cross of two good breeds anyday.

Demanding Dalmador!
by: Nikki-g

I've had my "dalmador" for only a few weeks and I'm struggling with his behavour. He is only 8 months old. He is not an easy dog but is so loving he is full of energy and demands my attention all the time. I really hope he grows out of chewing and barking or whining for my attention.

Hi Nikki, there is no getting away from it, having a puppy is very demanding! I remember with our Golden Retriever feeling completely overwhelmed at times and out of my depth. You have to dig deep for reserves sometimes just like with a toddler! In fact think of your pup like a toddler! If you are consistent with your responses, don't over-react, maintain your boundaries, give enough daily exercise, keep to a routine of feeding, walking etc, your pup WILL settle. GOOD LUCK!!

Black Lab x Dalmatian
by: Anonymous

We had a black lab x Dalmatian for 5 years. Sadly she was bitten by a tiger snake and could not be saved. We loved our "Dalmadore" she was the most loyal dog I have ever had and was a true friend to our 2 year old son. They were best of friends. If we could get another one I would in a flash. The absolute best dog ever.

So sorry to hear that. It must have been a terrible time for you all. - Hilary

breed name
by: d. todd

The Dalmation and Labrador cross is a fantastic breed of dog. I call them Dalbradors. They truly do exhibit the best of both breeds.

Hi, go to the bottom of the September 2010 contest and there's a form where you can send in a photo.

Or if you have info about that particular breed as well as a photo, go to the dog breed submission page.

touching
by: Hilary (Ed)

Hi Andrew, thanks for all that useful info. That is so touching, how Jet checks on your kids. He obviously wasn't given the right chances before - so pleased he found you and your family.
