I actually have a “pitmation”. I sort of stumbled on to him and really worried about it for several months. pitbull bad press and etc. I also am not much on dalmations… haha worst dog choice ever right?
All I remember is being at the pound looking for a nice medium sized mutt that wasn’t too young.. and not too old with a nice personality.
This scrawny little white and black speckled dog looked up at me and it was all over when he walked over to me and started licking my hand.
Took him to the vet a day or so later (malnurished and sick) and the vet takes one look at him and goes “Ahhh.. pit bull dalmation mix huh?” my jaw hit the floor and all I could say was “I hope not!” he just said “ahh don’t worry he will be a great dog.”
so far so good.. he listens pretty well for an 8mo. old puppy, he is learning what is expected of him and what he can/can’t do and maybe most importantly he is extremely gentle with everybody he has met and you can tell he loves me, my wife, and our daughter more than bacon!
The one thing I would mention to somebody else asking about a pit/dalmation would be the HIGH energy level they have and SOCIALIZE them early and often because when you combine the “WE GOTTA PLAY WE GOTTA PLAY!” with a 40 pound dog he can be quite intimidating to strange dogs. He has never acted aggressive towards them but he doesn’t waste time with the “hey lemme sniff your butt” stuff when he meets a new dog.. it’s just time to play and he bum rushes them. Quite suprising to the other dogs owner (scares the hell out of them mostly I think) and usually doesn’t do the dog much good either.. lol
he is a sweet heart though and means well… he just doesn’t practice normal doggie etiquette.

HAHA My Dalmatian/ Pit Bull DABBLE is the same way man!! They have such a bad reputation, so when you are out and about with them and run into another dog walker, the owner usually is very hesitant to let his dog near mine once i reveal that my beautiful boy is a pitbull mix. But he does extremely well with other dogs and is very playful. Pretty blue eyes, looks like the pic at top of page but mine has one black ear. Hey man, how much were his second set of shots?? My guy just turned 5 months and is ready for his 2nd set, but i was curious if they were cheaper than the 1st.

I have a pretty little girl pitmatian. Someone dumped her in the local park last Dec. All I can say is she is the most loving, smart, funny character we have ever had. We did own a full pit once so we new enough to socialize her when young. Now everyone in town knows her by name. I would recommend this type of dog to ppl who don’t have really young kids. Not because of meaness, just to hyper and accidently hurt little ones. Scrappy adores kids. she just knocks them down when trying to love them.

I wasn’t sure what my pit mix was mixed with. But seeing this cutie tells me she’s also a “pitmation”. Our dog Narley displays this same type of character. She has one blue eye and own brown eye! She also has crazy ears.

I think My roommates dog is a mix pitmation. I went to the store with her yesterday and the guy at the countere who let me in with her, said he thinks she’s mixed with a dalmation. Now looking at the picture abov she looks exactly like that dog. Only her nose is full black.

Today of all days, someone in our neighborhood dumped a pitmation in the alley near our home. MY son and his friends saw it, and brought it home. She is a female, not very old, but she is skinny. I don’t know if the owners didn’t feed her properly or what, but e mail me if you are interested in the dog. She is a pitmaion. You can e mail me at msdfatboys@aol.com.

Seven years ago my husband and I had two standard poodles. The older poodle passed away and we decided that we were not going to get another dog….Our surviving poodle, Jack went into a depression and started loosing weight and did nothing but sleep. I discussed the situation with a friend who volunteers at the humane society and she mentioned a very nice poodle/llasa apso had been turned in and we should go look at it. I really wasn’t interested, but several days later we were driving in the humane society area and we decided to take a look at the little dog. They brought her out and she was a nice little thing….however…the door opened and in walked some dreadful people who stated that they wanted to see the pit bull puppy. The attendant brought out a tiny white puppy with black spots and the awful people ooohed and aaaahed over him. The door opened again and in walked more dreadful people wanting to see the pit bull puppy (his picture had been in the newspaper). All in all there were 5 people passing the little fellow around. Say I to my husband, ” This little poodle/llasa apso will get a good home, but that puppy is in trouble! My husband said, “Which dog do you want?” I said I want the pit bull puppy. With that, I got up and found someone who seemed to be in charge and asked to see her in her office. We went in, I closed the door and said my husband and I want the pit bull puppy. She said we are afraid to let him go to anyone….we have had five applications and we are afraid to let him go. I did some serious name dropping and she let us apply for him. They investigated us and found that we are wonderful, caring dog owners and she called us two days later and told us to come and get him.
He is a pit bull/dalmation mix and he is the finest dog we have ever owned. We are in our 70s and have owned quite a few dogs and cats in our 50 years of marriage. He has personality plus…..he is the only dog we have ever had that teases us. He is fixated on my husband and he loves to run up behind my husband and dive bomb him…then he runs like hell!!!! He ding dongs us to death to go riding in the car…lots of times my husband puts him in the car and drives him around the block..then he’s happy. He has not been exposed to children on a reguar basis, but our grandchild visit a couple of times a year and he has never shown any aggression towards them. He and the big black poodle are indeed the odd couple and they have lots of fun together. I recommend this particular mix.

dalmation pitbull mix are great dogs. about a year and eight months ago my brother got home with one that he bought at a park. his mom was ia dalmation and dad was a red nose pit. i was the one who raise him. right away people saw that he was a pitbull mix but was amaze how he had the dalmation spots. every body learn to love him. every time i took him to the dog park he was center of attention.
he was full of energy but the most gentle dog ive ever seen. in my st. there a total of 3 germen sheper dogs, 2 boxers 1 golden retriver mix, lots of chihuahua and 2 other pitbulls. but of all those dogs my dalmation pitbull Bombon was the most quiet and nices when people walk by the house. right now he is one year and eight months old, 83 lbs. great looking dog.
but just couple of days ago animal control came to my house and took him. the reason why was because he nip a family member in the neck but it was an accident. she accidentally step on his injure paw and he jump and nip her in the neck. it was close call. but the injury look more like a scratch. our cusin call us that they where only going to check his paper work to see if he was up to date on all his shots and he was, but no mater what the animal control took him away. it crush my hurt to see him go. they told me that he might go into adduption or a rescue center for dalmation, or pitbulls. but they told me that i could not keep him. it just been couple of day and i have missed him so much, the best dog eve. we are curently trying to figer out how to get him back, if we cant i wish he can get a better home with the same love my whole family gave him.
