It is also perfectly fine to shorten it to Dal when referring to a Dalmatian.:) It is a very very old breed and it is believed to have been further refined in the Dalmatia region and hence the name.

I've heard multiple international contributors indicate they don't know how to pronounce Dalmatian. If you have not heard this word said and want to know how to pronounce it, there's a nice pronunciation tool in Cambridge dictionary to help: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/dalmatian.
Also some context on why it might have won: https://www.shutterstock.com/search/dalmatian-puppy :).
