The following photos were both printed to 1,800mm wide but I had to trim them down to 1,500mm wide as they didn't have the board for the border big enough for 1,800mm width. The biggest they had was 1,600mm which gives a 50mm border all around the photo inside the frame. Both of these are hanging on my walls at home.

Clutch!
MissVuks, if youre not allowed to have a dalmation, then perhaps consider a German Short Haired Pointer, or Weimeraner, both similar in breeding to dalmations, but highly intelligent too, and "german" dogs to fit in with yr VW heritagej:Quote:

We didn't do too much training with ours and she is quite well behaved but can go off when she gets something into her head. As I say, you must do training as with all dogs. She is fabulous with our kids and a fantastic family pet and she does not really suffer separation anxiety. Having said that, we also take her on our holidays with us and kicks up quite a bit of fuss when we get the bags out to pack. She goes down stairs and waits next to the car whimpering and eagerly waiting to come with us. It is quite funny to watch!
As Gareth has suggested, there are others similar to the Dalmatian like the German Short haired ointer and Waimeraner, but they are similar in temperament to the Dally. My friend has a German Short Haired Pointer and he swears that they are the same dog both in temperament and in intelligence.
So to sum up. No, they are not necessarily dumb and you can train them quite well. As with all dogs, if you make them part of the family, they are much more likely to be friendly, less stressed and more likely to do what you want. Ours is part of our family and we wouldn't swap her for anything.
Witness the movie 101 Dalmatians. They trained all those dogs very well! ;)
