While not recognized as an official breed, the Dalmador's lineage likely originates from the 1980s at a time when breeding purebred dogs into designer breeds started to become popular. The Dalmador is a cross between the Labrador Retriever and the Dalmatian. Both are highly intelligent breeds that combine to give the Dalmador an ample amount of trainability and smarts.
Because both breeds aren't strangers to howling and barking, care and training should be undertaken to ensure your Dalmador doesn't become a nuisance to your household or the neighbors! When fully grown, your Dalmador can reach weights up to 50 to 80 pounds depending on whether they're male or female. Their life expectancy is 10 to 14 years, and daily activity and proper diet will ensure that lifespan is as long and healthy as possible for your Dalmador.
