Thanks for the compliments, everyone
ChokeOnSmoke: He/she does go a bit duller during the day, but not much. It's still clearly obvious he's a nice deep brown even while sleeping.
PuNkuPoNAsTAR: I don't know how common white spots are, but I have a lot of babies with white ones. Most dalmatians seem to have dark spots, but not all from what I've seen. Most of mine with white spots are red, pink or orange, though once in a while I've had brown ones show white spots.
