Correction for the weight of a Dalmatian

Thanks for your input! Let us know more about what's wrong in the form below.
How heavy is 230.470 firkins?
It's about 300 times as heavy as a Dalmatian
The weight of a Dalmatian is about 0.7230 firkins.
(a.k.a. Dalmatinac, a.k.a. Carriage Dog, a.k.a. Spotted Coach Dog, a.k.a. Firehouse Dog) (FCI standard; male)
The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) calls for Dalmatians to weigh between 0.7230 firkins. The association of the breed with fire departments (and similarly with Budweiser Beer and its team of Clydesdales) stems from their affinity for horses, having been used historically as carriage dogs capable of guiding horse-drawn fire engines to the sites of blazes.
