(That's why Dalmatians were coach dogs... They ran under and around the horses and chased any rodents away that would spook the horses and make them take off with the buggy... Dalmatians can run between 35 - 40 MPH and go for 30 miles in a stretch to keep up with the horses... That's why show Dalmatians have a height restriction of 22" - 24" to the shoulder, so they can go under a horse... )
