Your new Dalmatian will not make your coffee in the morning unless you are a phenomenal trainer yourself and intend to spend 8 to 12 hours a day working with the dog. Dalmatians are a wonderful, intelligent, active, fun-loving breed. Those might not be the characteristics everyone wants in a dog. The more you know, the less likely you are to make a mistake that may cost you several hundred dollars but may cost the puppy his life. Be sure a Dalmatian is the right breed for you .
Dogs require a commitment of time, love, and money.
There is no such thing as a free dog. You still have to buy food, grooming supplies, and provide vet care. You need to provide an education for your dog by attending training classes. All breeds of dogs require love and attention from their owners. No breed of dog deserves to be tied to a tree in the backyard or kept out of the house with little human contact.
