yeah yeah yeah.... the AKC does not recognize them as a different breed.
I have just purchased one from a dalmatian breeder (25 yrs breeding), He is the cutest little guy....
Anybody with advice?

you can visit the breeder's website at

and for the wise one who suggested genetically altered ... yeah that's it, right! too many sci-fi movies?
try selective breeding.

I know the kind of dog you're talking about. I haven't personally seen one, but good luck with raising him!
I know deafness might be a problem, though your site did say that was "bred" out of this new...type, I suppose, since it's not a recognised breed. Basically, because the general public is usually more or less ignorant of these, I'd really encourage going to the breeder or a vet for advice. Just be careful about taking advice from these forums, make absolutely sure they have the facts to back what the say up, etc.
Best of luck!

Miniature Dalmations are not a breed. They are a genetically altered version of a dalmation. People have been downsizing different breeds for years, usually with sad consequences. Dogs are not meant to be downsized. You can(and will ) run into many health problems to the it.
