Would you like to have a dog in your home with dots or spots, but don't know which breed to go for? Below you will find 5 nice breeds with spotted coats. The coat color and thereby the spots of dogs are genetically determined. Therefore, some dogs are more likely to develop it. Below is a list of cute breeds that are full of spots!
- Dalmatian
This breed is of course obvious when we talk about polka dots in dogs. As the star of 101 Dalmatians, he has become very popular. A funny fact about the Dalmatian is that he is not born with dots, but with a white coat! The dots develop 3 to 4 months later. In general, the dalmatian is a stubborn, sweet and intelligent dog. He can also be a bit busy and sometimes still a bit stuck in puberty. Therefore, it is important to go on frequent outdoor adventures with the Dalmatian.
2. German Pinion
This hunting dog is popular among dog owners. Usually, the coat color of the German Pinscher is brown or tan with white dots. He is very friendly, active, intelligent and eager to learn. He is also loyal to his owner, but if game passes by, he can still run away sometimes. It is and remains a hunting dog!
3. Australian shepherd
This downy rascal is a beloved breed with many variations in the spotted coat. The Aussie is sweet, energetic, vigilant, balanced and loyal to its family or dog owner. He has tremendous stamina, being originally a herding dog. Furthermore, he needs a lot of exercise and he likes to have a goal. The Aussie thrives when he gets to play games, so get that ball out there!
4. English Springer Spaniel
This breed is known for its semi-long curly hair, often brown and white with brown spots or black and white with black spots. The coat must be brushed regularly to prevent your whole house from being covered in Spaniel hair. Originally, the Spaniel is a hunting dog and this certainly leaves its mark. He needs a lot of exercise. Furthermore, he is sweet and good with children and certainly suitable as a companion dog.
5. Jack Russell
The Jack Russell is a small spotted dog breed. Usually the base of the coat of this little (stubborn) snout is white with brown and/or black spots. The spots are often of varying sizes. The Jack Russell is tremendously smart and can be a bit stubborn, but if you train and socialize this quadruped from a young age, it can become a well-behaved and sweet family dog. Sidenote: The Jack Russell loves to cuddle immensely!
