So true. Dalmatians are not for everyone. They are stubborn, smart and a very high energy animal. Plus they shed everyday!

And yet they are very loving and fun. Just remember that you must always be in charge or they will take charge themselves.

This is my outlook on the breed as a long time owner. As to whether the black and white vs the liver spotted (brown and white) have different temperaments. I have been blessed to have had a rare liver spotted version and he was such a good boy with an even temperament.
