Preference of Dalmatian Dogs for Particular Positions in Coach Running, and Inheritance of this Character
Abstract
PERHAPS the most widely known characteristic of dogs of the Dalmatian breed is their habit of following horses and of running underneath the axles of moving carriages. Recently our attention has been directed to some observations with regard to differences in the specific positions under a carriage favoured by individual Dalmatians and the probability that these preferences are inherited.
