EASTERN or DALMATIAN

[Raymo2477]

Opinions on this boy.

I'm leaning toward Dalmatian base on color, shape, and yellowish spot under eye.

It's an eastern. Good shape too.

Never the less a good looking tort

Thank you, pulled out books and charts and I was still wrong on my guess! I'm determined to get better on spotting the differences. Is the pectoral/femoral difference and the pectoral u/v the number one way to tell the difference?

The pectoral U is pretty reliable in that all 3 subspecies can have it but western and Dalmatian typically have it more so than the eastern.
