Dalmations and Roans should never be bred with another Dalmation or Roan as this causes horrible birth defects, this is because the gene for the Dalmation/ Roan coat is recessive.
Dalmations and Roans are genetically the same but the colour markings vary.
Many countries dont recognise Dalmations as a show breed.
Dalmations have white hair with coloured spots, feet and head, although the head has a central white blaze along the nose.
The official colours for a Dalmation are Self, Agouti and Argente.
To breed a Dalmation you need a piggy of your chosen colour and a Dalmation, the litter will always contain one self.
Agent 101 was a surplus boar from a litter, we are sure he much prefers his new home.
Agent 101 is a master of mind control he only needs to think of carrots and his Mummy runs to get them for him
Here he is with his best friend Agent Thorntons

ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome fellow! We (The Surrey Squeakers) are sure you will make a superb agent. We agree with Jocelyn's comment above, and they're also great feet for camouflage if you need to walk secretly on chocolate!!
