Born to run, the Dalmatian is a high-energy dog with an endless capacity for exercise. He loves attention and has a strong desire to please, making him easy to train through positive reinforcement such as food rewards, praise, and play.

He's a smart dog with a sly sense of humor, and will do his best to make you laugh. The Dalmatian is alert and interested in everything that goes on around him and makes an excellent watchdog.

Like every dog, the Dalmatian needs early socialization--exposure to many different people, sights, sounds, and experiences--when they're young. Socialization helps ensure that your Dalmatian puppy grows up to be a well-rounded dog.

Dalmation/Lab mix

Hi, One of the nearby shelters has a female Lab/Dalmation mix puppy that is very cute. Before I try to adopt her, how large (in pounds) is she likely to get? Thanks! Diane

deafness

My niece is interested in a dalmation who happens to be deaf. Does anyone have experience with dogs who can't hear? I'd like to give her some advice, but not discourage her.
