The earliest pictures of this species are found in paintings by Italian painters in the 16th century, and in a fresco dating from about 1710 in the Zaostrog region (in Dalmatia).

Toms, published in 1792. One of Bewick's works contains a description and drawing of the Dalmatian, which Bewick called a "Dalmatian or coast dog." The first standard about the Dalmatian was made by the Englishman Vero. Shaw wrote in 1882; this standard became the official breed standard in 1890.
