Behavior

Dalmatians are very loving, loyal and intelligent dogs. Many people think that Dalmatians are aggressive, but their overall personality completely depends on how they were socialized as puppies, or brought up. Dalmatians can't get enough attention. They will follow you around the house, sleep *on you*, watch you eat, and beg to go for a car ride. As said on another Dalmatian website, they are the "original velcro dog." They are very loyal dogs, and always want to do something for their owners. They are also relatively easy to train, as long as you have a little patience. Dalmatians aren't any better or any worse with small children than any other dog. Like I said, it completely depends on the dog itself, *not* the breed. Lots of people say that Dalmatians are very hyper, but from my experience, they aren't. They *will* however need daily exercise, and a chance to run outside every once in a while.
