I have a confession to make, yorkies are my #2 favorite breed, dalmatians have always been my #1 favorite since I was a child. (don't tell Rizzo
)
Anyone have any insight/experience with dalmatians? Ever since I was a kid I've just adored the breed, but out of fear that I couldn't keep it exercised enough, or loved enough (I do have to work and I'm a single lady) I've never gotten one.
I've been seriously considering getting one, maybe in the next 2 or 3 years to add to my furry family but I want to do as much research and get as much inside information on this particular breed that I can. I figure at my next assignment I'll buy one after I get settled into whatever house/condo I happen to move into. I don't think I'll ever live in an apartment again (just don't like that kind of living)
Do you all know how a 3 year old yorkie would react to having his house invaded by a larger breed? My Rizzo is only 6 1/2 months right now, but by the time I get a dally I'm sure he'll be about 3 if not older. He barks at bigger dogs, but it's a playful bark, we have yet to find a big dog that has any interest in playing with him.
Anyways, I guess I'm just looking for positives and negatives on the breed that I may not find on a website or in a book. And some guesses on how Rizz might react to a new dog? There is a good possibility the Dal will be coming from a dal rescue (lots of people give up on them after just a few months because they dont think about how much work raising one is)
It's a long way off I know, but I try to be fully prepared beforehand.
