    It's funny because they say "miniature Dalmations" have the same conformation as "standard" Dalmations (FWIW - Dals come in ONE size!), yet, they have no pictures of a stacked "miniature Dalmation". Since when did man become so corrupt so that money dictated their whole lives? Sometimes, I'm so ashamed of man...

    Edited to add: You must be kidding me. This thing has got to be a spotted Chihuahua...

    Tha ABC kennel club? I don't think anything on that webpage looks real. Somebody try sending an application and see if you get either phony info or info about byb's. That first picture next to the standard looks like a dalmation in mini. It didn't lose anything in ratio of head structure. I don't see any adult pictures though, only puppies. The spotted chihuahua is amusing, I'd die crying if people actually fell for that one.

    What I don't understand about the "breeder" is how he's justifying his prices
    Mini's - Males $950 Femles $1500 "toys" Males - $1500 females $2500!
    But he also states that all pups need to be spayed/neutered and can't be bred - so why the high price for a female?

    Here's my theory - he bred down dals until they were significantly smaller and then they got mixed with smaller fine boned dogs - IGH, JRT, CHI, etc. and unfortunately, I bet he only kept the ones that came out white with black/blackish spots and called them mini dals.
