4. Dalmatian – Croatia
Dalmatians are lovely dogs with spotted coats. They’re mostly black and white, but can also be found in blue (grayish), brindle, and lemon colors. For a long time, they were considered unintelligent, but the reality is that most become deaf through the years.
In the past, they were mainly used for guarding, sporting, and exterminating rats and vermin. Due to their affinity with horses, they were also called “firefighter dogs,” as they used to escort the horse-drawn fire carriages.
