(@rosie_pitmatian)What Is A Dalmatian Pitbull Mix?
As we’ve mentioned above, the Dalmatian Pitbull Mix is a cross between the Dalmatian and the Pitbull.
This dog also goes by the name Dalmatian Pit Mix, Pit Dalmatian, or simply the Pitmatian.
As you probably already know, there are many different dog mixes in the canine world today. The Dalmatian Mix with Pitbull is one strange combo that makes a truly unique and gorgeous pup. This highly energetic dog is full of life and fun to be around.
Since this wonderful combo is half Pitbull half Dalmatian, he seems to resemble the Dalmatian parent with its spotted coat, but there’s still some Pitbull in him.
Many people think that both of these parent breeds are aggressive and that combining the two would produce a monster of a dog that attacks everyone on sight. However, the truth of the matter is every dog is different and most Dalmatian Pitbull mixes are great family pets.
This cross will probably be a very gentle and even-tempered dog. The Dalmatian temperament should offset the Pitbull, making the mix so personable. If properly trained and socialized from a young age, this should be a great companion.
The Origin of the Dalmatian Pitbull Mix
As a mixed breed, the Pitbull Dalmatian Mix doesn’t have a very long history, so let’s take a closer look at each parent breed to get a good idea of where he came from.
As you’ll soon find out, both the Dalmatian and the Pitbull have their own unique and interesting histories.
Dalmatian History
The Dalmatian is well known for his white and black spotted coat and muscular body, and he has an interesting history that goes as far back as the 18th century.
It is thought that Dalmatians were originally bred in Croatia, where they were commonly used to patrol the boarders of a region called Dalmatia (hence their name “Dalmatian”).
During the regency period (1795-1837), Dalmatians were a symbol of status, cherished for their unique and beautiful spotted coats. At the time, Dalmatians would march alongside the coaches of the high and mighty, and hence, he was commonly known as the “Spotted Coach Dog.”
Dalmatians have also been used over the years as circus dogs, hunting dogs and guard dogs. The breed was officially recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1888.
The Dalmatian is currently one of the few breeds of dogs that are so deeply ingrained in popular culture that many people can easily identify the dog. Even if you are new to dog breeds in general, the popular pup-filled film “101 Dalmatians” has definitely helped!
So, what about the Pitbull?
Pitbull History
So far, Pitbulls are not considered a breed of dog by the AKC. The term “Pitbull” is more commonly used to refer to a type of dog rather than a dog breed.
The name “Pitbull” actually refers to several dog breeds, including the American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Bulldog. However, it is most often used to refer to the American Staffordshire Terrier.
It is widely believed that the Pitbull was developed by crossing terriers and bulldogs.
Pitbulls were once used in the cruel “sport” known as bull-baiting. Once that was declared illegal, they are more commonly used in another barbaric sport known as dog fighting.
Pitbulls that showed the strength and endurance to fight were usually preferred to be bred.
At the same time, it was important that those dogs had to be friendly towards their masters. Pitbulls that were aggressive towards their handlers had their bloodlines discontinued.
Although some Pitbulls were developed to participate in dog fighting, others were refined to be loyal family companions.
These days, many Pitbulls are randomly bred without temperament and health considerations. Due to these different breeding methods, Pitbulls can vary in temperament and personality traits.
Now let’s take a look at the physical characteristics of the Dalmatian and Pitbull Mix to give you an idea of what to expect.
The General Appearance of the Dalmatian Pitbull Mix
Your mixed breed dog could inherit any combination of his parent dogs’ looks.
So let’s find out what is most common for the parents when it comes to physical characteristics.
Coat
Both Pitbulls and Dalmatians have short, silky hair. Therefore, your crossbreed dog will most likely have a short, smooth coat!
Coat Colors
The Dalmatian has an identifiable white coat with black or liver spots.
On the other hand, the Pitbull color and markings can vary considerably from plain to patched, black, white, brown, tan, red or fawn.
The Size, Height & Weight of A Full-grown Dalmatian Pitbull
So How Big Does A Dalmatian Pitbull Mix Get?
Well, we also need to consider the sizes of both the Dalmatian and the Pitbull parent breeds to get an idea of what a Dalmatian Pitbull Mix may turn out like.
Dalmatians are around 19 to 24 inches tall and usually weigh around 45 to 70 pounds. Pitbulls, on the other hand, are around 17 to 19 inches tall and can weigh anywhere between 40 and 70 pounds.
The cross between the two breeds of Dalmatian and Pitbull may inherit either parent’s characteristics or be a perfect combination of both.
Either way, your Pitbull and Dalmatian Mix dog will most likely be a sturdy, muscular dog with a very beautiful coat!

Dalmatian Pitbull Mix Behavior & Temperament
A look at both parent breeds can give us a hint of how your Dalmatian Pitbull Mix puppy might turn out.
Dalmatian Behavior and Temperament
Dalmatians have had a very long and heroic history as working dogs. They have a very strong work ethic and they are known for their loyalty.
These dogs are also very intelligent, which makes them easy to train.
Due to their history as guard dogs for coaches and horses, Dalmatians have some territorial tendencies. Territorial dogs are often wary of strangers, but these can be curbed with proper training and socialization.
With their family members, Dalmatians are smart, loving and loyal companions. They are strong, energetic dogs with great stamina, which makes them a wonderful companion to hikers and runners.
They are also smart and eager to please. They always do everything in their power to see their masters happy and satisfied with something they have done. For that reason, Dals make great family dogs.
Pitbull Behavior and Temperament
Pitbulls come with some stigma – they are known to be aggressive dogs and news headlines often report on Pitbull attacks.
Pitbulls flood animal shelters around the country, major cities have prohibited the breed and uttering the term “Pitbull” is enough to evoke fear in the hearts of some people.
However, a well-bred and well-trained Pitbull who has a loving and caring family on his side is the exact opposite of the monster of a dog being paraded around on TV.
The reality is that Pitbulls are loyal and loving dogs who, if properly trained and socialized, make great pets and companions for those who enjoy an active lifestyle.
They enjoy spending time with their family and want to take part in all family activities.
Although it is true that if neglected, Pitbulls can be ferocious, they can also be sweethearts if you give them the love and attention they deserve.
It is not uncommon for Pitbull Terriers not to get along well with other canines, particularly dogs of the same sex. This is definitely not always the case, but the tendency towards dog aggression is at least partially inherited.
Pitmatian Temperament
Based on the personality traits of both parent breeds, your Dalmatian Pitbull Mix puppy could potentially grow to be a loving and patient dog. On the other hand, he could also exhibit some behavioral issues.
Therefore, it is extremely important to get your puppy from a reputable breeder. You need to ensure that the puppy’s parents are of good temperament.
Keep in mind that while genetics can play a major role in your dog’s behavior and temperament, care and training is just as important , if not more so.
Putting in the effort to train and socialize your Pitbull Dalmatian Mix puppy from an early stage will help him grow into a confident, friendly and well-behaved dog.

Behavior With Children
Are Dalmatian Pitbull Mixes Good With Kids?
This is an important question for anyone who has children at home and wants to keep a Pitmatian dog as a pet.
While the Dalmatian Pitbull may bond well with children in his own family, he can be aggressive to other kids and should be taught at a young age that all children are to be welcomed.
Families with children should socialize their puppies at an early stage and teach them to accept all kids as welcome guests. On the other hand, you should teach your children how to interact with your Pitmatian puppy without teasing him.
The Pitmatian should get along well with kids if exposed to each other as early as possible. However, this mix is more suitable for active families with older kids and they do need to be watched around smaller kids.
Behavior With Cats and Other Pets
Animal aggression is not uncommon in Pitbulls due to their fighting roots. This means that your Pitmatian could inherit this trait from the Pitbull side.
Even if the Pitbull Dalmatian Mix is raised alongside other animals, there’s no guarantee that he won’t target them at one time or another. He may not start a fight, but he will surely want to end it.
Fortunately, you can train and socialize your Dalmatian Pitbull Mix early on to live harmoniously with cats and other dogs.
Provided both Dalmatians and Pitbulls are socialized properly, both parent breeds can get along well with cats, and other animals, particularly Dalmatians.
When it comes to the play style, the Pit Bull can be rough and Dalmatians are high-energy players who enjoy chasing. So without proper socialization, this mixed breed dog might be too much for other pets.
With proper training and socialization, however, the Dalmatian Pitbull Mix has the potential to get along well with cats, and other animals, but for their safety, it is vital to avoid leaving them alone together!

Living With A Dalmatian Pitbull Mix
So What’s the Ideal Home for A Pitmatian?
Well, the ideal living environment for a Dalmatian cross Pitbull is one that can provide the dog with plenty of exercises since he has tons of energy that needs to be burnt off.
These dogs also need enough room to play and run around. This means that they may not be the best choice for an apartment dog.
While it’s possible to raise one in an apartment, and some people do exactly that, meeting his exercise needs can be a challenge. You’ll also need to get suitable chew toys for your dog for the rest of his life.
Despite all the adorable videos of kids and Pitbulls you may come across online, Pitbulls do not mix quite well with kids. Therefore, you should be prepared to socialize your Dalmatian Pitbull Mix puppy with people of all age brackets and all kinds of pets.
Since Pitbulls can be aggressive toward other dogs, you should consider a fenced-in yard. Otherwise, you should supervise and keep your Dalmatian Pitbull Mix puppy on a leash when outside.

Training
Since both the Pitbull and the Dalmatian are intelligent breeds, a prospective owner of the Pitmatian will probably find training to be an easy and enjoyable process. On the other hand, you should be familiar with his stubborn side.
And for large breed dogs like the Pitmatian, housetraining and obedience training is a must.
Fortunately, your Pitmatian is half Dalmatian and most Dalmatians are good at obedience training. As with all obedience training, Pitbull Dalmatian Mix training is all about teaching your puppy who’s the pack leader and what’s good and what’s bad.
Crate training is also highly recommended because these dogs tend to adjust to their new homes quickly and might find new escape routes.
Since the Pitbull parent has strong jaws and scary teeth, training bite inhibition is vital.
Although you’ll definitely want to train your dog not to bite, teaching bite inhibition can help your pup learn the appropriate amount of force, and it can help prevent serious accidental injuries in the event of an unexpected dog bite.

You should be firm, positive and consistent when training your Dalmatian Pitbull Mix. These dogs may actually understand commands and choose not to obey them if they sense that you are not firm and confident while training them.
Shower your dog with all the love and affection he deserves, but be sure to assert yourself as the leader early on.
Use lots of positive reinforcements in the form of treats ad praises to get your puppy interested. On the other hand, harsh, punishment-based training or corrections tend to backfire when training these dogs.
It is also important to socialize your Dalmatian and Pitbull Mix puppy early on, especially if he takes after his Pitbull parent, who often has problems with other canines.
Proper socialization is highly recommended for all puppies and dogs. You should socialize your puppy daily from the time you bring him home. At around 14 weeks of age, you can reduce the sessions to a few times per week. You can take him to doggy day care or a nearby dog park to get him used to as many dogs and people as possible.
Early training and socialization will help to ensure that your Dalmatian Pitbull Mix grows and develops into a confident and well-behaved companion.
Exercise Requirements
Considering that both the Pitbull and the Dalmatian were originally developed for use as working dogs, the two breeds are very active and energetic, so the Dalmatian Pitbull Mix needs plenty of exercises to remain happy and healthy.
If his exercise needs are not met, he could become frustrated and hyperactive, which can lead to behavioral issues such as digging, chewing and incessant barking.
The Pitmatian can prove to be your ideal running companion. Intense exercises like running will help expend any excess energy and once you get home, he will be tired, calm, and happy!
Your Dalmatian Pitbull Mix will also be very playful and so you need to provide him with lots of interactive dog toys to keep him mentally stimulated.
Do take care though! Due to their powerful jaws and fondness for chewing, Pitbull mixes like the Pitmatian can destroy chew toys in a matter of minutes! Make sure that the toys are strong and durable or else you’ll need to replace them in no time.
The Pitmatian needs at least 90 minutes or more of exercise each day to remain happy and healthy.
If you like running, 20 minutes twice a day should be enough. If you notice your dog slowing down or panting, he is definitely tired and you should take a five-minute break to hydrate him. Bring along a collapsible doggie bowl so your furry friend can enjoy his supply of fresh water.

Grooming
Your Dalmatian and Pitbull Mix dog will most likely have a short, silky coat, making the grooming process easy. Brushing his coat once a week should maintain it in good condition.

Proper and regular grooming will significantly reduce the shedding.
Feeding your dog a high-quality diet along with fish oil and probiotic supplements can also help improve coat health and reduce shedding.
Whenever your playful pup gets dirty, give him a bath with a specially formulated shampoo for dogs. Otherwise, you should use the best deodorizing wipes for dogs to keep him clean and fresh at all times.
It is also a good idea to check your pup’s ears regularly, but since the Dalmatian’s ears are flopped and have sensitive skin, it is extremely important to pay attention to them and get them checked by a professional vet for possible infection if you see anything abnormal.
Additionally, be sure to trim your pup’s nails periodically so they don’t become painful or troublesome when they are walking. His teeth should also be cleaned regularly to prevent dental issues.
