Dalmatian

The Dalmatian has the general appearance of an active, muscular dog, with symmetrical lines, never stocky or heavy. The head is a good length, with the skull flat and fairly wide between the ears. The muzzle is long, vigorous, never pointed. The stop is slightly marked and the eyes are medium, round, lively and intelligent: they are dark in color with black spots, amber in varieties with liver spots. The ears are set high, of moderate size, worn hanging against the head and still very spotted; entirely black ears are a defect. The tail reaches to the hock and is worn slightly curved upwards, but never curled.
