Others argue there is no evidence that BSL makes communities safer and that other legislation would be more effective than expensive and controversial BSL laws. Some see BSL as a humane way of making communities safer by discouraging dog fighting and the breeding of dangerous dogs. Whether cities should enact breed-specific legislation (BSL, or "pit bill bans") for dogs such as Dalmatians is widely debated.

FIRE DOGS BREED FULL
Dalmatians are very smart and full of energy so it is imperative that they are consistently well trained and socialized from an early age. Nowadays, Dalmatians are primarily bred and kept as pets. Dalmatians were also used as guard dogs, exterminators of rats and vermin because of their strong hunting instinct and used as circus dogs because they are highly intelligent and easy to train. Many Firefighters still choose to get a Dalmatian, but they are used as companions and chosen to honour past tradition. Dalmatians later became a partner to the Firefighter because before the automobile, Firefighters used horse-drawn carriages and the Dalmatians would clear the path and guide the horses and firefighters to the fire. Because of the Dalmatian’s affinity for horses, high guarding instinct and marathon-like stamina they excelled at protecting the carriages and horses from banditry or predators.

The origin of the Dalmatian is unknown but we know that they date back to at least the Middle Ages and have been linked to Central Europe and the Mediterranean.ĭalmatians were primarily used as “carriage dogs” – bred and trained to trot alongside carriages of merchants and the wealthy. From starring in Disney’s 101 Dalmatians to being the official Firehouse mascot – most people can “spot” a Dalmatian. Dalmatians are quite possibly the most recognized dog breed in the world.
