Dalmatians have spots.

Dalmatians usually develop spots soon after birth. I believe within the first couple of months.

Dalmatians are dogs around the same size as a Lab. Dalamtians are white with black spots or they can be white with brown spots.

You can stand there for a long time trying to count the spots on your dalmatian but I guarantee you'll have to search about 5 dalmatians before you find a match - if you can find one. I don't think all dalmatians have the same amount of spots. I hope this helps. p.s - I don't suggest buying dalmatians to find out.

The spots are a characteristic of the breed.

Yes, even in their mouth.

Dalmatians are born completely white and develop black spots as they get older. So they probably don't fade.

White sometimes with faded spots, they get their spots later in life

usually when they are 6 months old

They are called Dalmatians.

Dalmatians are white when they are born. They don't develop spots on till they are several months old.

Pretty much. They are white with very faint, little black spots.

The puppies are born Visibly white and the spots will begin to appear visibly within its first 3 weeks. However Dalmatians spots are already on the skin before they are born. Dalmatians will keep developing spots all throughout their lives.

Yes. Dalmatians also come in white with liver-coloured, or brown spots.

Yes. Check online for "dalmatian newborns" to see for yourself and watch '101 Dalmatians', if you want to triple check. They Spots Come Later As They Grow (im guessing)

According to Wikipedia, there where 6,469,952 spots total in the movie from all of the dogs. Each of the Dalmatians have 32 spots, however, Pongo has 72, and Perdita 68. There was also the puppy named Odd ball, who was pure white and had no spots. Source: Wikipedia

They are born white. Dalmatians have spots on their skin (and on the roofs of their mouths which is adorable! They also have them on their paw pads!). Before they get their spots, you can see their spots when they are wet- especially right after being whelped. That is how Dal breeders can immediatly tell how many puppies have black spots and how many puppies have liver spots (liver is a rich dark brown color. it isn't a rare color or new it is just the recessive trait. most people don't know dalmatians can have liver spots thanks to 101 Dalmatians!). Dalmatians get their spots around 3 weeks of age but they gradually get darker and more pigmented as they age. 6 week old puppies will have significantly darker spots than 3 week old puppies.

No, they are white with black spots. As a puppy they are pure white and gain their black eventually.

None. Dalmatians are born a pinkish white, but the spots appear after a few weeks.
