They're great, if you're trying to sniff things out or just want to play. They're horrible to train.
You obviously know of what you speak. Never had one but I had a Dalmation. Attention span of a gnat.
My sister had a Beagle rescue. He was a dear, but he followed his nose everywhere. Didn't give a shit what his humans wanted. He could also jump over any obstacle you put up to block him and was super high energy. Loved him, but he was not suited to a family without a strong authority.
I've always wanted to give Dalmatians a try. Was yours easy to leash train or just pretty dumb all around?
