[net.pets] Are Dalmations Good Family Dogs?

terry@nrcvax.UUCP (Terry Grevstad) (08/12/85)

We're going to be thinking about getting a family dog here soon, and
we were wondering what is a good breed to get.  Right now we have one
2-year-old and we hope to have a couple more in the future.  

I personally think Dalmations are neat dogs, but since I never knew
one personally (or anyone that had one) I was wondering if they made
good family dogs--especially for families with small children.

Anyone out there have any experience with Dalmations they might want
to comment on?

We don't want a really large dog, like a German Sheperd, but we don't
want a small, yappy type dog either.

Thanks!
