Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi! My husband and I just adopted a five year old Dalmatian this week. He really needed a home. His name is Charlie and he is very laid back and a big couch potato. He has some skin owies that I'm treating and hoping will get better over time. Has anyone had any experience with skin issues with their Dals?

Charlie is an awesome dog and fits in really well with our family. He walks excellent on the leash and can ride quietly in the car without having to be in a crate. We love Charlie! I hope to meet more Dals on here.

I'd post pictures but I can't figure it out.

Hi and welcome to the DogHobbyist! I don't have a Dal as you can see from my signature picture but do like to frequent the other breed forums. Charlie sounds like a great dog and I thank you for giving him a new forever home. We would love to see some pictures. It's really easy to do once you do it and you have access to a free photo account here. All you need to do is click on Photo Gallery above and register. Here are some instructions I use to post on the Shiba Inu forum. Just substitute Dalmation where I have written Shiba Inu. Good Luck!

At the top of the page, Click on Photo Gallery
Scroll down to Shiba Inu. Click.
Find where it says Upload Photo.
If you haven't Logged In you will have to do so first.
Click on Upload Photo.
When the page opens...where it says Choose a category
be sure it says Shiba Inu.
Click on Browse. Find your photo in the dialogue box and click open.
There is also a link to upload multiple pictures if you choose to do so.
Enter a Title for your photo.
Click Upload/Submit.
Do this proceedure for all your photos, you have 10mb of free storage here.
Now go back to the Shiba forum. Enter your post as normal, scroll down below the text box to where it says Select Image from Photo Gallery. Use the drop down arrow to find the photo you would like to post, and click on the photo.
You can also hold down your CTRL key and highlite up to three photos to place in a post.
If you would like to title your photos or place a little story about them you can do so easily by copying the URL that is at the bottom of each uploaded picture. To find the url, click to enlarge the picture and you will find the url below the photo. Just copy any or all Urls into Notepad or something similar. When posting pictures using the URL's you will need to add [ IMG ] and [ /IMG ] before and after the url. Please note there should be no spaces in the brackets, that was just for posting purposes.
I would use the Preview feature to be sure your picture(s) loads, once done just click on Post Message.
Please post any questions if you run into difficulty, everyone here can help you out.

If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.

Hi,
I don't have a Dalmatian but would like to welcome you and Charlie to the boards and thank you for giving Charlie a home. He sounds like he's going to be a wonderful member of your famiy. Good luck with Charlie and hope we'll be hearing more about him and seeing many pictures.

Oh my, Charlie is a handsome looking dog. Hope we'll be hearing more about Charlie and seeing more pictures. I see many dogs being walked by my house but have yet to see a dalmatian.
