um, dalmatians I am pretty sure are the only breeds to genetically be spotted. All the rest are ticked or patches. Learning Dalmatian genetics kind of simplifies it for all the rest of the breeds, because most can be applied to others. If the spots appear at birth clearly in any breed it is a patch. If it is that small it is tickmarks. This is shown in APBTs, (click here to see a ticked marked dog with patches, he is a registered [UKC] APBT) Australian cattle dogs, English setters, and many other. A patched dog such as THIS dog is a dog with patches. There for, it is not a mix of dal, at least anywhere in about 4 generations! Dalmatian spots seem to be a mutation of ticking
